NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980Ti 6GB Graphics Card Review
Metro Last Light
“Metro: Last Light (formerly Metro 2034) is a first-person shooter and horror video game developed by Ukrainian studio 4A Games and published by Deep Silver for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. It was released in May 2013. The game is set in a post-apocalyptic world and features a mixture of action-oriented and stealth gameplay. The game exists in the universe of the novel, Metro 2033, and its sequels, written by Russian author, Dmitry Glukhovsky, but does not follow any direct storylines from the books. Metro:Last Light takes place one year after the events of Metro 2033, proceeding from the canonical ending from the novel, ending where Artyom chose to call down the missile strike on the Dark Ones.Metro: Last Light features technology which boasts of lighting effects and improved physics claimed to set a new graphical benchmark on the PC and consoles.” From Wikipedia.org
The beta driver used has, again, negatively hit the Titan X, allowing the GTX 980Ti to take the lead; even if it is by a very small margin.
Hmmm
It is interesting how every review of late talking about the new Titan and now the Ti fail to mention how badly NVidia has crippled the “new” Titan and 980Ti’s FP64 capabilities. They are now a mere shadow of their original Titan roots. And for the record, even the 2 year old R9 290X stomps all over the “new Titan” and the new “Ti” in FP64 apps. Cherry picking benchmarks hardly gives the true picture of just how hamstrung the NVidia cards are in many non gaming applications. It is also fascinating to watch how the very same websites that have been bashing AMD on heat and power issues now white wash the fact that these “new” cards now run significantly hotter than the R9 290X. They also “save” the user a little more than half a 60 watt light bulb in energy saving (assuming zero overclocks) at best. Then there is the fact that these cards at present cost 2-3 times the R9 290X. What happened to the value equation in evaluating “consumer” graphics cards? And finally there seems to be little mention of the fact that most of the titles in many of these initial reviews of the Ti are specifically written to favor NVidia cards.
It is not that I am claiming that the “new” cards are not fast fster than the R9 290X in FP32) it is the manner in which they are being so actively promoted instead of reported. It makes it impossible for the casual user to a clear picture and hence make an informed purchasing decision.
