“Nvidia knocks AMD – it is faster, more efficiently and a lot cheaper

Nvidia this time applied the shock therapy, both for consumers and for competition. Indeed, the new graphics chips are further made in 28-nm lithography, but what the engineers of this manufacturer was able to muster in this process is staggering. The latest graphics cards, Nvidia GeForce GTX 980 and GTX 970 are not only much faster than the competition, but also draw significantly less power. The differences are simply colossal, because even reach 100-120 W. However, this is not the end.

Not only that, the GeForce GTX 970, priced at 1429 zł suddenly is on average more than 10% faster than costing an average of approx. 500 zł more Radeon R9 290x and needs approx. 100 watts less power, it is still quieter, cooler and … sensational in curls. GPU can be easily overclocked up to 1.5 GHz, making competition under the sign of AMD is further behind. Many people are very pleased by the fact that the GTX 970 comes standard with up to 4 GB of GDDR5 memory. You can therefore be sure that the buffer on the texture does not run out even while playing at extremely high resolutions.

2. generation architecture Maxwell shows claw

top model, the GeForce GTX 980 is in a class by itself. Equipped with 2048 CUDA cores beats both constructions competition and GeForce GTX 780Ti with 2880 stream processors. As you can see the second generation architecture Maxwell (the first hit to the budget GeForce’ów GTX 750 and 750Ti) is a definite step forward. Performance, yes, not shocking, because it is an average of a sudden approx. 10% higher, but the TDP has fallen from … 250 W to 165 W, while increased dramatically potential liability. For the card you need to put app. 2,400 zł.

In short, without drastic price cuts or the release of new systems, AMD has nothing to look at high-end segment. Nvidia simply spreads the manufacturer’s chart-topping structures and in each issue – performance, power consumption, temperature range, the potential liability and the ratio of price and performance. It remains only to wait for the premiere of accelerators of the lower segments, the response competition and stabilize prices of new Nvidia GPU. And, of course, keep your fingers crossed for AMD, which will not easy. ”

Is it true?
