AMD [Advanced Micro Devices] and Nvidia
2014-2015 GPU [Graphics card]
comparison
Introduction
It's been an eventful year for GPU releases
with updated models and prices across all budgets from both AMD and Nvidia.
After finally shipping the Radeon R9 290X and R9 290 late in 2013, AMD returned
to rebadging parts in February with the R7 250X (essentially an HD 7770),
followed by an overclocked HD 7850 (the R7 265) and then a clone of the
two-year old HD 7950 (the R9 280).
We received something fresh with the R9 295X2
in April, but with pricing around $1,000 it was cheaper to buy two R9 290Xs for
the same or better performance. Rounding out the year, AMD delivered its
next-gen Tonga architecture in the R9 285, but the card was crippled by a
256-bit memory bus and struggled to outpace the similarly priced R9 280 while
being slower than the 280X.
Meanwhile, Nvidia had already shown off its
next-gen tech in February with the unassuming GeForce GTX
750 series. Built using the new Maxwell
architecture, the GTX 750 demonstrated amazing performance per watt but was
out-priced by the R7 265. However, it wouldn't be until seven months after
the debut of the GTX 750 series that things would get truly interesting.
Mid-way through September Nvidia unleashed its
Maxwell-powered GTX 900
series with the GTX 970 and GTX 980. Despite
featuring 27% less transistors in a 29% smaller die using the same 28nm design
process as Kepler, Nvidia was able to make Maxwell faster. The advantage of
making Maxwell less complex meant that it consumed less power and so it was
more efficient.
In the end, the GTX 980 was 20% faster than
the R9 290X while costing slightly more and the GTX 970 was 3% faster than the
R9 290X and 16% faster than the R9 290 while costing 12% less than the former.
With Maxwell crushing Hawaii, AMD was forced to slash prices days after the GTX
980 and GTX 970 were revealed (a triple digit drop to $400 in the
case of the R9 290X).
Let the benchmarks begin!
Methodology
Although we collected the frame time data we
didn't include it because it's becoming less important for single-GPU reviews.
Our results showed the GeForce GTX 970 to be in line with the R9 290X for
example, which is about what we would expect, so there isn't much to see
here. For this review we've tested at 1920x1200 and 2560x1600, though we
will only be discussing the 1920x1200 results as the lower end cards performed
better here. We are yet to include 4K results or higher because there isn't a
single-GPU solution available that can provide playable performance at this
resolution.

While Gaming...
The bottom line
Before we kick off with the best picks we just
want to mention that we didn't test any dual-GPU cards. The GeForce
GTX Titan Z was excluded because its pricing is
absurd for gaming and that's what we were testing, gaming performance.
When all is said and done, however, Nvidia’s
cards are the clear winners here (though they're still unlikely to match the
raw performance of a dual-GPU graphics card like the $1,000 Radeon R9
295X2).Even taking AMD’s Mantle and price drops into account, the GTX 970’s
performance and power efficiency is so incredibly compelling at $330 to $370
that it’s hard to recommend buying an R9-series Radeon right now, unless you’re
going to be playing on a 4K monitor or think some combination of three free
games outweighs Nvidia’s advantages. EVGA's combination of a beastly (and
warrantied!) overclock with cold, quiet cooling in the GTX 970 FTW is highly
appealing, while the GTX 980 is just a beast that smokes all single-GPU comers.
I’m not the only one who thinks so either: All
GTX 970s are completely out of stock on Newegg at the time of this writing, as
well as all but two GTX 980 models.
(Update: The morning this article published,
several R9 290X graphics cards were selling for $300 to $370 on Newegg and
Amazon. If you manage to find at R9 290X at that price, the free games and
inclusion of Mantle make the Radeon much more compelling, no matter how
impressive the GTX 970 is—assuming you're not building a power- or
noise-limited PC and are willing to give up some performance in non-Mantle
games in exchange for freebies.)
But the R9 series is nearly a year old. The
rumor mill suggests we could see AMD’s next-gen Radeon R9 300-series cards
appear in the coming months, potentially featuring a 20nm manufacturing process
more advanced than today’s 28nm technology. One thing’s for certain: AMD’s
Radeon response can’t come soon enough. Nvidia’s GTX 980 and GTX 970 are that
damned good.
