Compare any two graphics cards:
Geforce GTX 690 vs Radeon HD 7970
IntroThe Geforce GTX 690 features a GPU core speed of 915 MHz, and the 2048 MB of GDDR5 memory is set to run at 1502 MHz through a 256-bit bus. It also is comprised of 1536 SPUs, 128 TAUs, and 32 Raster Operation Units.Compare that to the Radeon HD 7970, which has GPU core speed of 925 MHz, and 3072 MB of GDDR5 RAM running at 1375 MHz through a 384-bit bus. It also is made up of 2048 SPUs, 128 Texture Address Units, and 32 Raster Operation Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksPower Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory BandwidthTheoretically speaking, the Geforce GTX 690 should be a lot faster than the Radeon HD 7970 overall. (explain)
Texel RateThe Geforce GTX 690 should be much (approximately 98%) faster with regards to AF than the Radeon HD 7970. (explain)
Pixel RateIf using lots of anti-aliasing is important to you, then the Geforce GTX 690 is the winner, by a large margin. (explain)
Please note that the above 'benchmarks' are all just theoretical - the results were calculated based on the card's specifications, and real-world performance may (and probably will) vary at least a bit. One or more cards in this comparison are multi-core. This means that their bandwidth, texel and pixel rates are theoretically doubled - this does not mean the card will actually perform twice as fast, but only that it should in theory be able to. Actual game benchmarks will give a more accurate idea of what it's capable of. Price Comparison

Display Specifications
Memory Bandwidth: Memory bandwidth is the largest amount of information (counted in MB per second) that can be moved over the external memory interface in one second. It's worked out by multiplying the interface width by the speed of its memory. If it uses DDR RAM, it must be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the card's memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, HDR and high resolutions. Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum texture map elements (texels) that can be processed in one second. This figure is calculated by multiplying the total texture units of the card by the core clock speed of the chip. The better the texel rate, the better the card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels in a second. Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels that the graphics card can possibly write to its local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is worked out by multiplying the number of Render Output Units by the clock speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel rate is also dependant on lots of other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the maximum fill rate.

On the front page it's got the exact same memory bandwidth as the GTX680, meaning they were only running the dual core GTX690 in single core mode, while the 7970 was using both cores for the result on the front page.

GTX 690 blew 7970 away. But, GTX 690 is also 1 thousand dollars, while the 7970 is around 500 dollars. So, the question is, do you want to spend a bunch of money for the best video card or spend half that money for, I think, the second or third best video card?
couze 690's big price a HD 7970 will be much better....but if you try to over lock at 1550 the memory HD 7970 will be almost equal at fps...with a difference of 10-20 fps...
I don't think it's worth to give 500 dollars more....for 10-20 fps.
if you have enough money to buy even one 690 then seriously can we trade lives?
And pcpp recommend TWO in SLI as their beast 🙂
TOO MUCH AWESOME!!!
7990 will detonate 690
The 7970 x2 was announced... It's basically 2 7970's in a dual card gpu. It's about time AMD got some dual card gpu action going on.

It's kinda unfair, the GTX 690 Is a dual GPU, while the 7970 is just a single GPU, but given the price and the performance between the two, I certainly conclude that the Radeon was more better.
The GTX 690 is less powerful than the Powercolor Devil 13. with 2 GPU HD 7990! a ha!
This comparison is not equal as the 7970 is not ATi's top card. The new ATi Radeon HD7990 would kill a GTX 690 as would the much older HD6990.
yeah 7990 will detonate 690
but 790 will detonate 7990
nVidia the best
wow i love this graphic card
this is most complete graphic card in the world
just GTX 690 \m/
So many fools with money to burn really have no clue about cost to performance ratio. 5 Hundred dollars for what? you can barely tell the difference. But I guess it's one of macho things. well put that card up against the fire-pro series and see or directcu II.
just take 780 ti close to 690 perfomance and 600$ 🙂
