The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780 Ti Review
by Ryan Smith on November 7, 2013 9:01 AM ESTBattlefield 3
Our major multiplayer action game of our benchmark suite is Battlefield 3, DICE’s 2011 multiplayer military shooter. Its ability to pose a significant challenge to GPUs has been dulled some by time and drivers, but it’s still a challenge if you want to hit the highest settings at the highest resolutions at the highest anti-aliasing levels. Furthermore while we can crack 60fps in single player mode, our rule of thumb here is that multiplayer framerates will dip to half our single player framerates, so hitting high framerates here may not be high enough.
BF3 is another strong title for NVIDIA and the GTX 780 Ti. The performance advantage for the GTX 780 Ti over its GK110 siblings stands at a rather typical 9% for GTX Titan and 20% for GTX 780, with an absolute framerate well above 60fps and ultimately approaching 80fps. Otherwise against the 290X this is consistently one of the best games for NVIDIA, so it comes as no surprise that the GTX 780 Ti does very well against the 290X here, beating it by a substantial 23%.
Moving on to SLI performance, the GTX 780 SLI is once again a chart topper. Even 3840x2160 and with Ultra quality, the GTX 780 Ti still more than enough to deliver more than 60fps, making this a fully playable resolution with minimum framerates that should easily be over 30fps.

"Doesn't bode well." Just zip it.TheJian - Thursday, November 7, 2013 - link
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m1JOhT015wwFast forward to 8:35 or so...Got smashed, both OC'ed to the max. In Uber as anandtech even showed, it hits it's max all day. So 1ghz won't get more, and they run higher than that at linustechtips (both cards oced max they could get). Nowhere close in any benchmark they run. Don't forget you can clock the crap out of 780TI as already shown everywhere. If you're assuming a "Properly Cooled" ghz edition beats 780ti well we've only seen REF 780TI's so far too right? So what does a "Properly Cooled" 780ti do? They hit 1200-1300 stock fan. Will they hit 1300-1400 with an aftermarket fan? You won't catch it as it is without water and you'll need to be way over 1ghz to do it and pulling more watts no doubt.
What record are you giving? Assumptions and guesswork that goes against all current info from MANY sites. Check out all the sites I listed. That is what we call "for the record".

Only 1120/1175 (base/boost) and it's 30.8% faster than UBER 290x. Not even sure water would catch this and this is a WEAK OC compared to other sites like overclockers hitting 1291/1304. They can do this out of the box.

to let you know the nvidea gtx 780 ti is walking and not breaking sweat. while the amdsare running think of it this way. if you over clock or make nvidea gtx 780 ti sprint it is said int can get a 19% to 20% boost in performence. and it only gets noise and sound of amds card.Da W - Thursday, November 7, 2013 - link
The only thing louder than a 290X is a Nvidia Fanboy.HisDivineOrder - Thursday, November 7, 2013 - link
Actually, I think the louder thing still is the sound of AMD fanboys coming into a review of a new nVidia halo product and crying about "nvidia fanboys." ;)OverclockedCeleron - Thursday, November 7, 2013 - link
Well, ask your colleague troll not to bring AMD trash talk into an Nvidia article. (See first comment to this article).bigboxes - Thursday, November 7, 2013 - link

Sure, if you like to throw money away. Nvidia could seriously destroy AMD on this generation, but they're choosing not to compete by not pricing in line with performance.I personally think AMD has the edge when it comes to cost/unit because their chip is smaller, which is how they can price so much lower.

See its about the feature sets as well that determine price, and of course support. The 289x should have been released with the 600 series not the end of the 700 series and at the edge of starting the 800 series in a few months with Maxwell.1Angelreloaded - Thursday, November 7, 2013 - link
