"Moving on to more detailed benchmarks. In AMD titles, like Tomb Raider or Battlefield 4 the difference is almost nonexistent. Other games follow the same path. We have a 5% (Tomb Raider) to 38% (COD) performance difference. The average is 20%, so it’s safe to assume that we are looking at 10-15% difference.
Let’s not forget Radeon R7 260X has 896 Stream Processors and 56 Texture Units, so it’s quite obvious that Maxwell is more powerful on architectural level, providing better performance with almost twice less power consumption.
There is one key part that wasn’t covered yet. Because of extremely low TDP the clocks speeds suffered. NVIDIA had to choose the lowest possible clocks to obtain 60W. For that reason Maxwell GM107 GPU has extreme overclocking potential. In fact you will even find cards with 28% factory-overclocking.
Long story short, you will easily be able to obtain 1200 MHz clock, but only with the cards equipped with additional power connectors."
Looking forward to these...
