Synthetic Benchmarks

The base clock on the reference GTX 780 is 863 while the Boost clock is 900 Mhz. The MSI GTX 780 Gaming on the other hand has a much higher clock of 954 Mhz base clock and 1006 Mhz boost meaning it should outperform the stock GTX 780. To put that to the test of course I had to run it through our entire test suite starting with our synthetic benchmarks. So how did it perform? Well if you look at the first graph from 3DMark Fire Strike, you will see that this is the fastest single card that we have ever had on the test bench, of course we haven’t tested the Titan, the GTX 780’s big brother. The difference between the stock GTX 780 and the MSI GTX 780 Gaming is actually fairly large. The only results that are higher are from SLI and Crossfire tests but even then I think the card performs fairly well getting close to two GTX 660’s in most cases. That of course means that you could pick up two cards for less to match the performance you are going to get from this card, but in the end you will also have to deal with issues from SLI that a single card will never have like micro stuttering and having to wait for an SLI update for the newest games.
