This one’s too close to call and well within the margin of error. Benchmarksįirst up we have Apex Legends and right away we’re seeing pretty neck and neck performance between the GTX 970 and R9 290.
As usual the test system used is powered by a Core i9-9900K clocked at 5 GHz with 32GB of DDR4-3200 memory. We’ll look closely at the results for 13 of the titles before moving into a few head to head comparison graphs. At least today we can settle which GPU offers the best performance in 2019.įor this test we have 33 games tested at 1080p, a suitable resolution for these GPUs. However many of those who purchased the R9 290 were jumping up and down about how it would be a better investment down the track.
Throughout 2015 the GTX 970 was typically the puncher GPU and with a slew of quality AIB models to pick from, it easily outsold the R9 290. AMD did respond with aggressive R9 290 price cuts but with the 970 generally 10-15% faster on average and considerably better power efficiency, it went on to be a best seller, despite the VRAM controversy. The GTX 970 was the newer product and unsurprisingly it came in offering a little extra performance at a slightly better price. Quickly rewinding for a moment, Nvidia revealed the GTX 970 for the first time in September 2014, some ten months after the Radeon R9 290’s release.
APEX LEGENDS LOW FPS 980TI UPGRADE
Whether you're looking to upgrade or not, it should be interesting to see after 5 years which GPU is the ultimate winner. So today we’ve got an old fashioned GPU battle pitting the GeForce GTX 970 against the Radeon R9 290. Those features have been warmly welcomed, but besides the overall positive responses what we noticed in common in your feedback was the request to test the GeForce GTX 970, which was the performance/value offering of the time and a GPU some of you are still rocking in today's games with some success. Recently we've looked back at the GeForce GTX 980 Ti and the GTX 960, both popular GPUs from yesteryear.
