Checkmate nvidia

Laugh at me, c'mon /g/. I bought a 280x a while ago and I'm not that happy. I've been buying AMD products most of the time except nvidia cards early on (way before anyone would spout memes about them causing house fires and such).

I kinda want to trade this trash, but I always heard nvidia equivalents to these specifically aren't good.

My overclocked GTX 970 at 1519mhz never goes above 210watts even when topped at 99% usage all the time without vsync and this is with a custom bios which has higher power usage to trick the card into never throttling.

Normal usage at 60FPs with vsync on is around 150watts.

Nigga, look all the other reviews, the 390 is a housefire.

There is obviously a problem with their testing methodology, to begin with that MSI card can't pull more than 250000mW without a bios mod and this is with all the power slides set to max, normally it only it's allowed to pull 220000mW.

If you don't know the way Nvidia managed to get such low power usages is by strictly forbidding the card to go higher than allowed on the bios.
>>
>>54009802
By the way you can pull 428000mW from Maxwell card ssafely(340 8x2pins and 88 from the motherboard) with a bios mod, though the only way to get the card to pull that much is by using furmark or occt.

yes. Those specs only make sense for a heavy binned engineering sample running at extremely low clockspeeds to keep power draw down for a laptop battery

the full chip with desktop clockspeeds will curbstomp a 960 and like close in on a 970 with overclocking.

its rumored that AMD polairs cards will overclock better than pascal and even pascal is supposedly 25-30% clockspeeds than maxwell
>>
I'll stick with my hd7970 x2 until one of them releases something that can do 4k properly with a single card

Oh yes we know the efficiency was achieved by removing fp64 but what we are talking about is TDP, which Maxwell can't go above the value set on the bios no matter what. This is how Nvidia managed to get those GTX 970 reference at 175 watts.
>>
>>54000737

>comparing system power draw

this is how you know it's bullshit, one PC probably had a 9590 in it and the other one had an undervolted pentium CPU in it.

AMD marketing is trying really hard to hype and shill their upcoming 14nm GPUs, every time AMD hires shills to hype these products they turn out to be shit.
>>
>>54013655
>Also for the anons that didn't know maxwell's energy efficiency is because they removed fp64 almost completely.

removing fp64 processors doesn't magically decrease power draw, there are no games that utilize it. the advantage is brings is better yields and cost, because you can reduce die size.

as long at its not a hardware fault like the 970 where it could shit the bed, and shit it reproducibly is you pushed the games passed 3.5 (i think drivers have more or less "fixed" this at this point, but there was a good 6~ month period where this wasn't the case) i'm willing to look at performance when it comes out... kind of use to thing like intel vs amd where similar numbers did not mean similar performance, or older power apples and intel.

the specs on paper look weird to us, but we also arent taking into account a 28>14nm die shift that can bump the performance by 40~% just due to die shrink.
>>
>>54013506
>>54013733
Overclocking doesn't matter right now, this is shit that will matter once we get the cards in our hands,

what DOES matter, is how these fuckers preform, even the low end gives us valuable info here. as they increased the transistor count but did not increase the stream processors i believe, so SOMETHING went on under the hood.

right now people constantly compare it to current cards, not taking into account the die shift, or the architectural changes, something that will make a rather large difference.
>>
>>54007511
see right there is the lie, if you want to go stock speeds, amd beats out the 970 and can beat out the 980 with a 390, but it uses more power, or you can oc the cards at which point the 970 and 980 usually bear out the 390 with few exceptions, however you don't get to say power is more efficient, because depending on the clocks, nvidia is +-30watts on stock amd.

Uhh, yes you can dipshit. The 970 was marketed like it was the holy grail of graphics cards. There were ads fucking everywhere and every tech youtuber had feature length reviews on it praising how amazing it was. People were buying it and telling their friends to buy it, just like what is happening with the ps4 right now.

There's a reason it's the most used gpu on the steam hardware survey, and the best selling gpu of the last 2 years.
>>
>>54015713
Ok ty. I'm probably going amd this year, seeing as the titan is the only graphics card on nvidia's side which will support hbm2, and I'm not really prepared to pay $1000+ for a single graphics card. Amd vega will probably be much more affordable, considering price/performance was something they talked about.
>>
>>54015738
It's also a good card in its own right because SHOCKER, people are more likely to positively review good hardware than claim it's bad for no reason. Marketing can only get you so far, until people discover it's shit and move on. I'm pro AMD, but the 970 was a fantastic card for what it did at the time and for its price. Yeah, 3.5 gigs of vram was a bummer, but it still was a good card despite that one flaw.

>>
>>54015774
True. The 3.5gb problem was blown way out of proportion in terms of the scale of consumer backlash. It was being reported that every 970 owner was going to return their card yet in actual fact probably only 10% of all 970 owners knew about the problem. Most probably still don't know about it today, because it's not noticeable. When I say not noticeable I mean that the uneducated school kid who bought a 970 based on a fucking Linus Tech Tips review. That kid is getting the exact same performance as he saw in the review. It would be a bigger, more noticeable problem to consumers if the spec sheet change actually caused a massive difference in performance between review samples and actual consumer samples, but it didn't so its a non-issue for the fat kid who bought a 970 to play CS:GO.

TLDR; there was nothing to cause any uneducated consumer to think there was something wrong with their card, even after the spec sheet change.

>Care to explain how the 970 is still outselling the 390?

Not him but once a product starts to take off on the scale the 970 did, it'll basically market itself via forum posts and the sort. Most people who will buy a GPU are probably some normie/casual guy that learns about le pcmasterrace on plebbit and wants to build himself a pc. If you go to any tech youtuber comment section you see them full with people with like "rate my build" and shit. Nearly every single time there are people replying to them about getting a 970 because its so popular. The card markets itself.

Using less power doesn't make them superior.

All I want to know is why do they use two different brands of power meter?

Sure, ideally they would be equally reliable but it shouldn't be that hard to walk into the store and pull two of the same model off the shelf.

It should be obvious to you that they're the same internally, just sold as different brands.

So the CPU and other components like the fan and USB devices don't draw any more power, at all, when playing a game?

Or are we assuming that a CPU sits there using 60% of its TDP for no reason at all at all times, and that's a part of the 108w idle draw?

Lastly, are you a shill a /v/ kiddy or just a retard?

Whoever keeps shilling amd in these threads I bet they're a bunch of curry niggers and I wouldn't be surprised if it was raja himself. Anybody who has been in the gpu scene would know that amd has been faking benchmarks for years now and they generate fake hype with marketing statements like "it can play hitman on 1440p at 60 fps!!" without even showing the card at all. Meanwhile, nvidia didn't try to hype their card at all. Only a cheap ass company like amd would advertise "better price per performance, high definition resolution!! better colour" as their selling points for a new gpu in fucking 2016. I feel like I'm in the 90's whenever I read their bullshit.

You can't just throw statistics like this without backing it up. What game is this? What resolution is this? If it's a console port, that will probably explain the bigger frames per second on the amd card. Back up your numbers with some sources and reasons man, don't just throw around numbers.

performance increase won't be a massive increase. it'll be minimal with these first gen cards since they're just going for efficiency and performance per watt this time round.

Are you seriously retarded? The GTX 960 is a $200 card. It's made for people who have $200 to spend on a graphics card.
Of course, though, people who have $200 to spend on a graphics card don't buy the GTX 960 because it's a piece of crap that gets BTFO'd by the R9 380.
