GTX 1060 OC 3 GB vs GTX 970 G1 Gaming vs GTX 780 Ti GHz Edition benchmarks

[Kanan]

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.




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 1060 3GB is a gimped GP106, who cares about that? The real competition there is vs. the 1060 with 1280 shaders and not the gimped one. I wouldn't even call it 1060, it's just a marketing trick to call it "1060 3 GB" from Nvidia. And the 970 is in every good review I saw, yes, with custom max. OC included, always generally comparable to the 780 Ti, and never really slower to the point you can say things such as "beats the crap out of" - that's simply wishful thinking or a lie. And I don't need to talk bad about a 780 Ti because I own the GPU myself, so ... this even strengthens my point, that I'm just being realistic here.

Id Say at this Point 780TI, 980/TI and 1070/TI. 1060 and 970 are just too gimped nowadays.

I don't get what you're saying. The 1060 is destroying the 780 Ti in most reviews and even in PCGH reviews where they use a custom overclocked Gainward Phantom 780 Ti. Some people seem to forget the 1060 is faster than a 980 mostly (and 980 is easily faster than 780 Ti), and the 970 was always faster than the 780 Ti anyway, yes, even when both being overclocked to the max.

Well I'm outta this discussion, I'm just repeating myself since 5 posts or so, it bores me off.

780Ti shat all over the newer GPU's.

Old school muscle FTW, it's why i'm still on my GTX 670 lol, Kepler has some kick.

290 *1 Myself. Not budging.

Besides 780TI has advantage of being SLi where 1060 is a waste then...

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.

Well that's a decent argument from you having in mind that Wizzard could not push the cards above 1100 MHz. So your opinion makes obvious sense, but it's still an opinion, since BarbaricSoul pushed the card to 1400 MHz - how about that?

Kanan, you contra-indict yourself. You use the term "destroy" when the GTX1060 6 GB is only about 10 % faster than GTX780 Ti and then you finger me for using the term "beat the crap". It is not you who should be bored, it is I, since i've made the results, and you guys simply want to view them in some different angle like "bah this was not fair since he used a gimped GTX1060 or GTX970 was not custom overclocked" - amateur thinking really.
