i was hoping to see more demanding games like Witcher 3, Assassins Creed Unity,...ones in this article are quite outdated.
Any chance to add more games to the chart?
YazX, we're in the process of refreshing our suite with some new games. Noted your suggestions and we'll see what we can do.
Sad to see that my 780Ti has dropped off the testing charts.
dont look so weight this is good, i hope take some card like this one day xD
This is it. Hexus are overly concerned with how current cards compare, but those considering upgrading from a GTX 560 TI to a GTX 970, for example, have to use mere guesswork. How much have drivers improved things? Have games really moved on? Would I actually see much in the way of an improvement?
It's nice to know where a Titan stands compared to a GTX 980, but I'm never, ever going to be in the market for one.
I realise it would entail a lot of work, but I'm sorry to say that I imagine that the current charts are bordering on useless for most Hexus readers. Even if a couple of the benchmarks used historical results, where they weren't tested with the latest drivers, it would be more beneficial than the current system.
Even if a couple of cards spanning a couple of generations were kept back, we could at least compare their results from back in the day to get a rough known quantity.
In all fairness, if they did include one or two older cards, there would be other people on complaining that its a pointless comparison so they can't win. There are the synthetic benchmarks you can use for comparison not to mention -

Additionally we are talking about top end cards so it's fairly redundant to compare to a 580 or 6870 since we'd be looking for comparisons at QHD/4K and the older cards would barely run them, if at all. For mid range cards then, yeah, I'd agree older cards would be good for comparison but not at this level.
I agree that a 780Ti would have been a good benchmark comparison card being the "second-rung" card from the previous generation. I suspect many 780Ti owners will be considering a 980Ti.
Man that price made my eyes water
They need to implement an entry into the tables with a drop down menu where you can select an older card. That way you don't need to have a ton of legacy options, it keeps the size the same, and everybody can see how their card matches up
I want one so badly....but my wallet refuses to magically create money on it's own....Bad wallet, Bad
It's a good card and step in the right direction compared to the Titans on price, but I can still buy three R9 290's for this money... and a pair will beat this comfortably in most situations.... it's 17% more the launch price of the 780Ti.
Also you'll need a PSU to power those 3 R290s, unless you already have one that has 6x6PCIe connectors!
