Frame Rating: GeForce GTX Titan, GeForce GTX 690, Radeon HD 7990 (HD 7970 CrossFire)

news · March 30, 2013

Welcome to the second in our intial series of articles focusing on

Frame Rating, our new graphics and GPU performance technology that

drastically changes how the community looks at single and multi-GPU

performance. In the article we are going to be focusing on a

different set of graphics cards, the highest performing single card

options on the market including the GeForce GTX 690 4GB dual-GK104

card, the GeForce GTX Titan 6GB GK110-based monster as well as the

Radeon HD 7990, though in an emulated form. The HD 7990 was only

recently officially announced by AMD at this years Game Developers

Conference but the specifications of that hardware are going to

closely match what we have here on the testbed today - a pair of

retail Radeon HD 7970s in CrossFire.

Quote: "NVIDIA's GeForce GTX 690 and GTX Titan present another debate

though on the issue of single versus multi-GPU options. In our

testing the GTX 690 definitely introduces more frame time variance

than the GTX Titan, but the cards are so fast as it is that running

the GTX 690 at single monitor resolutions like 1920x1080 and 2560x1440

don't cause a big enough problem to be a factor, thus giving it the

edge because of the higher average frame rates. The GTX Titan is a

powerful card and performs admirably in the single display testing but

it really stands away from the GTX 690 on multi-monitor resolutions

like 5760x1080 where the 6GB frame buffer can help a TON."
