Benchmark for fun: GT 630 vs GTX960 vs GTX780 Ti

[Artas1984]

While i was doing my mid-range and high-end video card tests recently, i also had a GeForce GT630 1 GB. I am sure non of you have any expectations for this card and do not consider it a gaming card. However, just to clarify to a what kind of level "not gaming" we are talking here, i preset you the benchmarks of this card tossed in the same soup that had the mid-range cards "floating". I also tested GTX780 Ti GHz Edition with mid-range settings, since it was only tested for high-end settings together with GTX980 G1 Gaming before.



I see that GT730 has the exact specs as GT630, and knowing that it is based on the same Kepler architecture, you would think that it's performance should equally abysmal. Right or wrong?

What about resolution ? that GT630 with no AA could run some of those games at >25 fps from the looks of it.

 

[Artas1984]

The resolution was 1920x1080. Settings were ranging from high to ultra.

Exactly which GT630 is it? Because there's four of them, and one (or two) is a rebranded GT440.

Well IMHO the test should have been done on low, since that GT card is designed for it. No person with a slight knowledge of GPUs would buy a GT630 to run on high/ultra at 1080p

Ha! As if bought the card... I received it for free.

droopyRO's point still stands whether you paid for it or not.

I actually went through the latest WoW expansion on a GT530 (DDR3) on 1680x1050. The GGDR5 versions of those cards are surprisingly decent.

That's a 96-core GT630... Newer v2 is much faster, though it uses 64-bit wide memory interface.
Had almost the same thing on my laptop, and it was enough to beat Skyrim, Wolfenstein TNO, and bunch of other games (@1366x768).

I've always wanted to try the new GT730 as a dedicated physics card (384 CUDA cores, 64-bit, 2GB GDDR5).

BTW, yesterday I've fixed a Lenovo x220i laptop and I was really surprised to see HD3000 IGP pulling 40-50FPS in Portal on max settings (NoAA)!
