KitGuru Annual Awards 2013

So what happens when the gloves come off?

When the price limits are removed and all of the various graphic card brands have to get in the ring together, to slug it out on performance … who emerges the winner?  Which card is the last one standing?

nVidia's GTX Titan was impressive in 2012, so there was great expectation when AMD announced the 95 degree Radeon R9 290X Uber-mode monster.

Using games like Batman Arkhan Origins and Splinter Cell Blacklist at 4K with some juicy Custom Quality settings, the Radeon 290X went toe to toe with the GTX Titan and stood its ground. At launch, it was hard to say that AMD managed a convincing win at 4K against the reigning champion – but the scores were close on several benchmarks, which isn't bad.

But the Titan had been out almost a year. nVidia had not been sleeping.

They were ready to pull back the covers on the GTX 780 Ti.

Everyone went back to their respective corners and, on 23rd November 2013, KitGuru Labs revealed what happened in the 4K arena when the latest and greatest, from both sides, went up against each other with the very latest drivers etc.

Ignoring price and focusing purely on performance,  the Palit GTX 780 Ti Jet Stream was markedly faster than the GTX Titan.

As a company, Palit has spent much of its existence supplying cards quietly to the top system builders, but not really pushing hard on its own name. For example, it's the graphic card of choice for PC Specialist in their nVidia systems.
