From my understand (what I can visually read) one user said the 7990 was the best and the other guy said it wasn't due to microstruttering (which is a driver issue that lowers potential performance).

The user mentioned that the benchmark is old which is significant since microstuttering is a driver related issue (thus the issue most likely isn't going on anymore. If your arguing that the 7990 is only worse than the 780ti because of an issue that isn't going on anymore then that's called a fair counter argument).

Regardless a third party 780ti will offer near identical (if not slightly faster) performance for a cheaper price

780Ti classified is faster out of the box than the 690 and 7990.

Here's one of the many reviews that proves it http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/EVGA/GTX_780_Ti_Classified/24.html

Shouldn't really be a shocker. Adding another 680/7970 gives you a 30-40% loss due to drivers so a 780Ti surpassing a 690/7990 shouldn't be that much of a shocker.

Both cards are going to destroy 1080p for pretty much the entire generation

GTX 780 classfield (non-ti) is $230 cheaper and can overclock to stock 780ti levels easily which makes it the better value

780TI classfield is faster than the GTX 690/7990 out of the box and can overclock pretty well also

Its impossible to talk about car chase scenes without mentioning old school james bond (james bond pretty much invented car chases).

Lots of classic cars and chases (epic car chases in thunderball, live and let die, you only live twice, spy who loved me, license to kill.....ect)

A combination of mining and AMD having almost no stock before the mining boom (high demand for the cards came during a time that AMD had very little stock to begin with).

i5 4670K no doubt about it (FX 8350 can't even beat a i7 920 from 2008 clock for clock).

FX 8350 actually isn't a bad CPU but its a lot slower clock for clock and a lot of benchmarks that show the 8350 close to the i5 series are benchmarks in which the FX is clocked significantly higher

It technically has more threads but its not going to pull away from the raw horsepower of an i5 4670K since the gap in raw power is too high (especially if you overclock the 4670K).

The mining craze didn't do nearly the amount of good as people think (a craze doesn't help you if you had NO STOCK before the craze).

The 290/290x where out of stock by the third week of November and by Thanksgiving (Thanksgiving was a week before the mining crazy), only two models of the 280x where in stock (so majority of the 280x where gone).

As a result people flooded the used 7950/7970 market on ebay/amazon which technically didn't make AMD any money

Not only are they still shipping them out but AMD actually forced stock coolers on the R9 290 and R9 290x when they came out (they purposely didn't give the third party vendors the right/plans to make them at launch).

It took almost two months for the first non-jet engine R9 290/290x to come out and then another month after that for most of the other brands to come out........ (not only are the jet engines still around but AMD is actually going out of there way to have the consumer purchase them).

AMD has been looking like amateurs the last 3 months (re-badging the 7870 while charging more, stock issues even before the mining boom, and forcing stock coolers down are throats). Luckily the console deal is making them money

He's bumping it because AMD along with full1080p are the best thing since sliced bread !

I'm basically saying that laptop numbers/names for laptops (i7 and 770M) do not match the performance of the desktop numbers/names (i7 desktop and GTX 770).

The 770M GPU of a laptop does not performance like a desktop GTX 770 (so a 770M on a laptop is not going to equal the performance of a desktop GTX 770 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814125463 ).

As a result the 770M (laptop GPU) is a little faster than the consoles GPU where a desktop GTX 770 (one I linked) is about 2x as fast.

Its a good laptop for the price overall
