The Nvidia GTX 970 is a game changer in terms of performance per watt and value for money. The GTX 970 is based on Nvidia’s ground-breaking Maxwell architecture which delivers considerable clock for clock performance gains over Kepler, its predecessor. Comparing the GTX 970 and 780 Ti shows that the two cards offer comparable performance yet the new GTX 970 costs nearly half as much! Unsurprisingly Nvidia are discontinuing the 780 Ti as it’s now largely redundant. These price to performance gains typically occur once or twice a decade and although the new Maxwell architecture will improve down the line with the release of the Ti/Titan versions, at the moment the 970 offers the best value for money on the market by miles. Since this summary was originally written AMD have slashed prices and older Nvidia models (780/780 Ti/770) have also been hugely discounted. See the latest value for money rankings here.

The new AMD R9 390 is the direct successor to the R9 290. Both cards share the same GPU but the R9 390 is factory overclocked. The R9 390 has a 5% higher stock GPU clock, and a substantial stock memory clock increase of 20%. Additionally the R9 390 sports a minimum of 8GB of VRAM versus 4GB on the R9 290. At the current price levels of $329, the R9 390 can’t compete given that R9 290s can be had for around $260. The increased VRAM will rarely help even at ultra high resolutions and in any case, most 4K gamers are likely to seek more GPU power than the R9 390 has to offer. We have seen several samples of the R9 390 and they scored an effective speed of 88.5% which, as expected, matches the speeds seen on overclocked R9 290s. On the face of it purchasing an R9 290 at a discount and then manually overclocking will result in the same performance as an R9 390 but with a saving of around $70. [ Jun ’15 GPUPro]

Общая информация
Более высокое число транзисторов обычно указывает на новый, более мощный процессор.
Nvidia Quadro GV100
Требования по теплоотводу (TDP) — это максимальное количество энергии, которое должна будет рассеять система охлаждения. Более низкое значение TDP также обычно означает меньшее энергопотребление.
Меньший размер указывает на более новый процесс создания чипа.
AMD Radeon RX 570
PCI Express (PCIe) — это высокая скорость стандарта карты расширения, которая используется для подключения компьютера к его периферии. Новые версии поддерживают более высокую пропускную способность и предоставляют более высокую производительность.

Earlier this year we decided to dust off the venerable GTX 980 Ti along with the Radeon R9 Fury X to see how they were getting on it modern titles and what, if anything, had changed since we last checked them out. Although I only benchmarked six or so games for that test, we observed competitive results between the GTX 980 Ti and Fury X. Since then we’ve had loads of requests to create a similar article comparing the Radeon R9 390 and GeForce GTX 970. So that’s exactly what we’re doing.
Lined up I have 22 games, most of which are very recent tiles and all have been tested at 1080p and 1440p. For comparison, we have not just the GTX 970, but also the GTX 1070, 1060, 1050 Ti, RX 480 and RX 470, so we should be able to work out exactly where the R9 390 slots into today’s landscape.
For testing I have taken my old HIS Radeon R9 390 IceQ X2 OC graphics card, benchmarked it in the factory configuration and then again with a custom overclock. Out of the box the card features a core clock speed of 1020 MHz, which is a insignificant 2% boost over the AMD reference clock frequency. I was able to manually raise the core frequency to 1120 MHz which was a further 10% overclock. By default the GDDR5 memory comes clocked at 1500MHz and for our custom overclock I pushed it up to 1700 MHz for a throughput speed of 6.8 Gbps.
Finally, all testing was conducted using our Intel Core i7-7700K test system overclocked to 4.9GHz with 32GB’s of DDR4-3000 memory.

The R9 390 performs like a champ in Far Cry Primal, leaving the RX 480 behind and comfortably beating the GTX 970. Even factoring in overclocking, the R9 390 has just enough headroom to stay ahead of the overclocked GTX 970.
Moving to 1440p the R9 390 remains very strong pushing 48 fps while the overclocked GTX 970 does fall away managing just 43 fps. It would seem that the larger memory buffer of the R9 390 is playing to its advantage here, that said both cards did play much better at 1080p.
The Division is a visually demanding game using the ultra quality preset, but even so the 390 makes out very well and once overclocked averaged 58 fps at 1080p. This made it slightly faster than the GTX 970 for good measure. Now at 1440p gamers will want to reduce the quality setting slightly as 43 fps on average with dips below 30fps isn’t ideal. The same will be true for GTX 970 owners.
