PNY GeForce GTX 760 XLR8 OC Video Card Review - Today we have the PNY GTX 760 XLR8 OC video card from PNY. This video card features a notable factory overclock, and a dual-fan cooling system. We are comparing it with an AMD Radeon R9 280, equally priced at $250. We will also put an overclocked R9 280 head to head with the PNY GTX 760 XLR8 OC.
 
Big thumbs up for including OC vs OC! Hope it becomes standard review practice.
 
Yes, but now you also have to do custom cooled vs custom cooled. Keep it fair and the custom cooled R9 280 kicks the 760's butt.

Also, was this just to get baseline numbers before the brand new, low power R9 285 and 285x come out? Those ones should destroy the 760, forcing nvidia to reduce the price of the 770 to match R9 285 pricing.

Um Fanboy much??? There are hardly any buttkicking going on between the two as they each eek out wins. #2 Raw power goes to Nvidia as per his benchmarks in BF4 and Crysis 3. The sad thing here is even with well developed BF4 Mantle API, 280 loses by 6 Frames? Those are the two toughest on graphics power out of the tests FACT.

Why did you just bring up a new graphics card to beat an aging 760?? Well duh?? And in October the 860 is going to be released and trounce AMD's wittle 285 that is just beating a year old 760??? 28nm Maxwell is going to be a beating on a already tried and true 28nm process. After October, boys in red gonna be shaking that right hook off. Then when 16nm/20nm Maxwell comes, the "AMD is going out of business" RUMORS will be back in full swing like they are every 3-4 years.

Amd or ATI as it should be, does this every other architecture. Remember they were OWNING Nvidia with the 6000 series, 4800 series, earlier than that the R9700/9800 series. Honestly, as a veteran, its tiring. AMD/ATI is second. You live love 2nd place things and they are more affordable. Yay. Let me know when ATI...mmmm....AMD start getting Day 1 game drivers out. Even then a Dodge vs Ferrari, the Dodge might win a couple of races but in the end, its still just a Dodge.
 
I'm pretty sure the R9 280 (HD7950 rebrand) is older than the GTX 760 (GTX 670 rebrand).

Also, raw performance goes to the R9 280. The GTX 760 being reviewed was factory overclocked (pretty high for a factory OC, too), and the old R9 280 still traded blows with it. Both the R9 280 and GTX 760 give comparable gaming experiences.

Honestly, I don't know why you're trying to fanboy here. The R9 285(X?) is pretty obviously going to replace the R9 280X as the GTX 770's competition. DeepS6X was merely saying that the price point of the R9 285 would force NVIDIA to reduce the price of their GTX 770 in response. If AMD reduces the R9 280X to GTX 760 range, that'd be very good for them.
