The HD 7870 Ghz edition is still running fine in my Athlon X4 860K system. I only stopped using it because I got a deal on the PowerColor RX480 with 8GB of VRAM back in 2018 or so. Otherwise I would still be using it. Thanks for making this, it is good to see the same tier of Graphics card tech tested these days.

Good test. Interesting they are so close together considering they respective architectures. GCN may work better in late DX11/DX12 games (as Kepler DX12 implementation isn't best, and Vulkan is just plain bad). Something to think about : Shouldn't "Unified SP" on Kepler be changed to "Cuda Cores" ? PS. Putting PCI-e 3.0 usage is nice (I'm guessing Radeon didin't provide this data ?), but I would like to see it below VRAM parameters (since it makes all GPU parameters on same level vs. Radeon cards). EDIT : Any chance of retest on Windows XP :D ?

Honestly - I expected bigger lead of CGN. Yes it is somewhat better in FC5 and Control (both should be "new" enough), but I expected more. Perhaps the 16x HQ AF has bigger performance hit for AMD GPUs. The Application is universal so it is either PS + VS or Unified SP. Cuda cores is just marketing name for the same thing... and I don't like marketing names :) Bus usage - yes, this is NV only feature. I believe not even RDNA2 can show this parameter. As for the XP - sorry, no chance. I have only few GPUs remaining to test and after that I will start to work on CPU benchmarks. Maybe i will make similar videos of CPU gaming performance.

@@hardwaremuseum3532 Fair enough. I think DX11 is mostly the reason they are close (Vulkan and DX12 would fly on GCN). I understand no XP tests, but CPU tests should be interesting so I will wait for that to come :) EDIT [SP vs CC] : I understand naming all units in DX10 and later an "SP", but this can bring up many confusion about comparisons. I get that from instruction support, or in this case performance in applications, they are *almost the same (*counting here DX12/Vulkan support), in which case - the same naming is fine. BUT, I prefer to think of different naming for NV SPs as an easy way to differentiate many architectures they can represent (marketing or not, I don't like to name two things the same when they clearly are not representing the same value [in this case performance]). For example Fermi and Kepler "384SPs" GPUs, would mean two different performance categories of cards (GT 710/740 vs. GTX 560 Ti). Same goes for Maxwell/Pascal/Turing/Ampere, and ALL of them have different "per SP unit" performance from AMD's GCN SPs (which are somewhat cosistent throughout GCN versions range), but throw in Terascale/RDNA GPUs, and everything get's confusing again.

Why didn't you do dx12? It would wipe the 760 clean
