Metro: Last Light – SLI
Metro: Last Light (DirectX 11)
Beneath the ruins of post-apocalyptic Moscow, in the tunnels of the Metro, the remnants of mankind are besieged by deadly threats from outside – and within.
Mutants stalk the catacombs beneath the desolate surface, and hunt amidst the poisoned skies above. But rather than stand united, the station-cities of the Metro are locked in a struggle for the ultimate power, a doomsday device from the military vaults of D6. A civil war is stirring that could wipe humanity from the face of the earth forever.
As Artyom, burdened by guilt but driven by hope, you hold the key to our survival – the last light in our darkest hour…
Our Settings for Metro: Last Light
At 2560×1440, the average frame rate of our GTX 780 Ti SLI configuration is 30% faster than the R9 290X CrossFire setup. NVIDIA's advantage though is even more impressive when you see the frame time variance advantage that SLI has over CrossFire in this case. Clearly a win for the green team.
Annnddd they follow that up with a complete flop. NVIDIA has finally confirmed this 4K bug with me and are working on a fix, but we see no scaling for the GTX 780 Ti cards over the results of a single GPU. Pity for them, this would have likely been a clear victory for their new flagship.
I still rather but the Titan.
I still rather but the Titan. I use 3 monitors and with the Titan you only need 1 card. It seems that the 780 ti you would need 2 cards. So the titan is cheaper. Am I wrong?
Why do you guys insist on
Why do you guys insist on using that Skyrim sequence to benchmark GPUs. You could have barely chosen a more ill suited location. All that effort wasted because you run a GPU benchmark in a thoroughly CPU limited area, when there are actually plenty of GPU limited areas to choose from in the game.
What game/test is used to
What game/test is used to determine total power usage of the entire system? How is this number identified?
780ti is capable of way more
780ti is capable of way more , cooler don’t like it tho .so now all those engineering need to be sent to cooling a computer 101 if they hope to gain more performance in the future .cause clearly .both nvidia and AMD have reached or are very close to have reached a plateau .

why are the exact

why are the exact settings for crysis 3 not shown as they are for BF3 or Metro LL. this is an inconsistency you should eliminate.
also did you run R9 290X with uber fan speed. because otherwise the throttling is quite severe for R9 290X CF. there is 10 – 20% perf loss at the lower fan speed.

people who spend USD 550 are definitely going to try and get the best performance possible. since AMD supports uber mode with a BIOS switch there is every reason to test it since its guaranteed by AMD to work and they back it with their warranty.
I am getting pretty tired of
I am getting pretty tired of benchmarks like these, not comparing a new flagship card with the previous title holder on resolutions where they matter. Sure, You give me the most common, such as 1920*1080 and 2560*1440, but nothing for multi-monitor support, and even your 4K resolution review excludes the previous title holder, the GTX Titan.
