Geforce GTX 780 vs Radeon R9 290X
Intro
The Geforce GTX 780 comes with a core clock speed of 863 MHz and a GDDR5 memory speed of 1502 MHz. It also uses a 384-bit bus, and uses a 28 nm design. It features 2304 SPUs, 192 Texture Address Units, and 48 Raster Operation Units.Compare those specs to the Radeon R9 290X, which comes with GPU core speed of 800 MHz, and 4096 MB of GDDR5 memory running at 1250 MHz through a 512-bit bus. It also is made up of 2816 Stream Processors, 176 Texture Address Units, and 64 ROPs.

Memory Bandwidth: Bandwidth is the maximum amount of information (measured in MB per second) that can be transferred over the external memory interface in one second. It is calculated by multiplying the card's bus width by its memory speed. If the card has DDR memory, it must be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the card's memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, High Dynamic Range and higher screen resolutions.
Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum number of texture map elements (texels) that are processed per second. This number is worked out by multiplying the total amount of texture units of the card by the core clock speed of the chip. The higher this number, the better the video card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels in one second.
Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels that the graphics chip could possibly write to its local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is calculated by multiplying the number of colour ROPs by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also called Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel fill rate also depends on many other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the maximum fill rate.

5 Responses to “Geforce GTX 780 vs Radeon R9 290X”Nice!!!!!!!!!! 290x is the best.
Well The 780 Can be Over Clocked a lot unlike the 290X it is HOT as Fuck.
Change TIM..... easy
@KENT if you're happy with the results of this. That's unfair. If you want, you can compare te 780 to the 290 and the 780ti to 290x.
@Jett No, this is an even comparison. Both of these cards reside in the same price range. It doesn't make sense to compare a $500 card to a $650 card. THAT is unfair.
