Interesting, I thought the 1060 would smoke the 780Ti but I guess I was wrong.

It's 970 vs 780ti. The 1060 indeed smokes the 780ti.

Hey all of you guys who have GTX780 Ti cards, are you going to replace them this year? I sold my Gigabyte GTX780 Ti GHz and bought Asus GTX980 Ti Strix 6 GB past December only because i replaced the monitor from 24" to 27", and the increased resolution from 1920X1200 to 2560X1440 now demands more horsepower on games, but also i replaced the card because the warranty for GTX780 Ti was ending... I saw no bottleneck in my GTX780 Ti 3 GB RAM as it clearly was faster than all GTX970 4 GB cards on 2560X1440 resolution and equal to my previous Gigabyte GF GTX980 G1 Gaming 4 GB, so i think i made a clear statement about 3 GB RAM being enough at least without SSAA or MSAA for 25660X1440 if the card is generally strong.

I'll stick to it until it's too slow or otherwise too bad for playing at very high IQ settings at high fps. Reason is im not too liquid on money atm, otherwise I'd simply switch to a gtx 1070 which is the next gpu that's worthy of a upgrade for me and I'm not into buying expensive Gpus like the 1080.

Sorry for multi post I'm on mobile.

Nah I just forgot it, I thought his post is about the newest post of op, hence my statement. But the main post is about the 1060 3gb which is a gimped 1060, the real one I was talking about smokes it anyway. See benchmarks.

Alright yes it seems to be the 3GB version, a 6GB version is probably a bit faster then.

Kanan, GTX1060 has got nothing "smoking" on GTX780 Ti. Apparently stock GTX1060 6 GB is equal to stock GTX980, and stock GTX970 is equal to stock GTX780 Ti, which is equal to stock GTX1060 3 GB.

However your own Asus GTX780 Ti with 1220 MHz boost core is already faster than most overclocked versions of GTX980 and GTX1060 6 GB!!! Why?

Because my GTX780 Ti GHz managed to tie a GTX980 G1 Gaming

https://www.techpowerup.com/forums/...dition-vs-gtx980-g1-gaming-benchmarks.218830/

Your Asus GTX780 Ti DirectCU II OC is just as fast my one, so it should equal an overclocked GTX1060 6 GB or overclocked GTX980.

Hmm, didn't expect that, I didn't check/compare any reviews though...

Huh? No its most certainly not. Stock to stock the 780ti has no chance against those Gpus. And oc to oc the difference is even bigger because maxwell and Pascal overclock and scale better. I even considered to buy a custom 1060 but I'm not into upgrading for a mere 20% difference and more vram (and new gpu) making it a side grade, that's why I'm not buying a new gpu atm as the 1070 is simply too expensive for me atm.

You should go and read some reviews. I like the pcgh ones with custom cards, they include a high clocked custom 780ti (phantom) sometimes.

 

[Artas1984]

That is because the reviews only compare custom GTX980 cards with stock GTX780 Ti cards. And stock GTX780 Ti is shit - it's even slightly slower than stock GTX970 these days (since 2015). But an overclocked GTX780 Ti with 2880 cuda cores makes it at least tie a GTX980 and GTX1060 6 GB.

Interesting, I thought the 1060 would smoke the 780Ti but I guess I was wrong.

And what do you mean smoke? You saw that GTX1060 6 GB is equal to GTX980 in TPU reviews right? And you saw that GTX980 was 7 % faster than GTX780 Ti in TPU review. How on earth is GTX1060 6 GB SMOKING the GTX780 Ti for that matter with just 7 % performance lead? The GTX1080 smokes those cards, not GTX1060 6 GB.

Yes it is, both of our GTX780 Ti cards have 1220 MHz boost core clock in OC mode. And according to the test i made a year ago they are almost equal to GTX980 G1 Gaming:

There is your proof Kanan, what more do you need? That surely means that a slightly to moderately overclocked GTX1060 6 GB won't be faster, unless it's some kind of extreme gaming oc unit.

I tend not to remember such detailed information off-hand. I remember hearing the 1060 was roughly equivalent to the 980, and expected the 980 to be a good bit faster than the 780Ti.

I won't be getting rid of my two for a long while.

The game I play most is Assetto Corsa and @ 5120x2160 DSR w/ 4x MSAA and all settings at the highest, they still churn out about 60fps steady without any stutter even with the vram being pegged at max all the time. Usually I run @ 2560x1080 since 5K on a 24" monitor is a bit excessive and it will get well over 120fps.

Though I don't really game anymore so they just sit idle 90% of the time.

I already seen more than enough proof I don't need any more.

My 780ti runs mostly at 1150 not 1220 as I'm not using it at 110% power because it makes the gpu even more inefficient.

Also look up the pcgh reviews I talked about and don't ignore it again. As I said the 780 ti stands no chance against those Gpus and I don't care about the gimped 1060 3gb.

You seem to miss the point that i agree with you that stock GTX780 Ti does not stand a chance against stock GTX980 or GTX1060 6 GB, i was just pointing that our overclocked GTX780 Ti cards will certainly outperform stock as well as most of the "not heavily overclocked" GTX980 or GTX1060 6 GB cards!

Now, i ain't ignoring anything, but please provide the link where GTX1060 6 GB is being benchmarked together with GTX780 Ti Phantom! I am very curious, although there won't be as many tested games as in TPU reviews i assume, and that Phantom model is 100 MHz slower than our GTX780 Ti cards anyway.

I was searching it, is a bit messy with mobile though.

That's 1060 etc vs Phantom 780ti, both pre overclocked, the 780 ti is only 50mhz slower than mine so it's comparable to mine.

Now if you overclock both to the max the 780ti will still easily lose. Same with 980 as the 980 is very comparable to the 1060 and sometimes even faster, depending on game tested.

 

[newtekie1]

So this is a 780Ti that is basically maxed out on its overclock vs pretty much stock 1060 and 970. Overclock the 1060 close to its max and I bet it gives that 780Ti a run for its money. These 1060(and Pascal cards in general) have really good overclocking headroom.

 

[arbiter]

780ti yea would beat both at 1440p cause it has a bit higher memory bandwidth then other 2, 332GB/s vs 224GB/s vs 192GB/sec. If you run i think games at 1080p probably be closer and maybe favor 1060/970.

It comes maybe a bit closer but still doesn't beat them.

 

[headik]

780TI oc is beast.It destroy both GTX1060 3GB and GTX970.They run 780TI in reviews at 800-900Mhz thats why they are only at GTX970 level.Once oc to 1200-1300Mhz they are faster than GTX980.

Its similar to GTX980TI vs 1070-in reviews 980TI runs close to 1Ghz and 1070 which runs close to 1900mhz is 5% faster.And once 980TI is oc to 1500Mhz it desroys GTX1070 and its very close to GTX1080.

 

[ASOT]

Every gpu in contest here are pros and cons,if u exceed more then 3 Gb,970 take's a edge if stay below 780Ti is strong then is 1060 3Gb wich is little baby but verry capable for 1080p for medium to high details.

You talk as if you don't look at the benchmarks and just just ignore my post. Did you somehow miss the fact that i had a GTX970 G1 Gaming - how is that a stock card? Are you insane?

I agree only that GTX1060 had a weak overclock compared to GTX780 Ti and GTX970.

Quote from my first post:

Calculating the average frame rates of medium results in all of 13 games, we come out with the conclusion that GTX1060 Windforce OC 3 GB is identical in to GTX970 G1 Gaming 4 GB in performance, while GTX780 Ti GHz Edition 3 GB is about 9 - 10 % faster than both. Keep in mind though, that both GTX780 Ti GHz and GTX970 G1 are heavily overclocked: 153 MHz on GTX970 G1 and 210 MHz on GTX780 Ti GHz, while GTX1060 OC bares a relatively humble 76 MHz overclock.

That's what I said too. He isn't responding anyway, I guess he accepted the facts.

Yes, i accept the facts that:

1. Stock GTX780 Ti can not match stock GTX1060 6 GB.

2. GTX780 Ti GHz Edition beats the crap out of GTX970 G1 Gaming and GTX1060 OC 3 GB.

The G1 Gaming is, as far as I'm concerned, a stock card. It has a very weak overclock out of the box compared to what the 970 is actually capable of. 1175Mhz is a joke overclock for a 970, they can do 1300 base clocks without even a voltage increase. Plus, the G1 has absolutely no memory overclock, the 970 really comes to live once you start upping the memory speed.

The fact of the matter is you didn't do a fair comparison, period. You use a highly overclocked 780Ti against effectively stock cards. If you want a fair, and useful, comparison, overclock all the cards to their max then do testing.

No, YOUR statement is wrong! I used what is available in the market. GTX780 Ti GHz Edition is a market model and GTX970 G1 Gaming is a market model, so it's a fair comparison. Even though we both know that one can push GTX970 so much more over it's 1203 MHz base factory overclock, the same goes for GTX780 Ti! In this thread some people actually told that GTX780 Ti GHz Edition overclock is weak compared to what one can push.

Do you see how wrongly do you compare apples to apples here? If you say that GTX970 G1 Gaming is stock in your opinion, others might as well say that about GTX780 Ti GHz Edition, since they overclocked the crap out of it.

Also, people buy preoverclocked video cards and do not overclock them period, because they are afraid to annihilate their warranty, so it is not fair to say that GTX970 G1 Gaming is stock just because someone can push it harder.

 

[newtekie1]

No, it really isn't a fair comparison. You might have been able to buy the 780Ti GHz Edition at that clock speed, but it was right at the edge of what it is capable of. Look at W1z's reviews of the 780Ti. He had 6 of them, and of those, one maxed out at an overclock of 1070MHz, and another two only managed 1090MHz. The other 3 just barely broke 1100MHz. You're card tested was 1085MHz. That is right at the edge of what the 780Ti is capable of without significant tweaking. There is no more headroom there.

Then there is the G1 Gaming, which out of the box runs at 1175Mhz, and they pretty much all consistently reach 1300MHz. That is a pretty decent amount of headroom.

And the days of overclocking voiding the warranty are long gone. And with basically every manufacturer not only supporting overclocking, but actually bundling overclocking software with their cards directly, a lot of people do it. They'd be stupid not to.

 

[ASOT]

GTX 780Ti is a performer gpu for 1080p,i had it for 2 weeks and was happy with fps in games
