After a delayed release from late 2012 to March 2013, the game received much anticipation and hype. Tomb Raider received much acclaim from critics, who praised the graphics, the gameplay and Camilla Luddington’s performance as Lara with many critics agreeing that the game is a solid and much needed reboot of the franchise. Much criticism went to the addition of the multiplayer which many felt was unnecessary. Tomb Raider went on to sell one million copies in forty-eight hours of its release, and has sold 3.4 million copies worldwide so far.
We used the Ultimate quality setting at 2560×1600 with the settings detailed above.
The other cards in the review today were unable to maintain smooth frame rates at these settings. Top of the chart is the GTX Titan, with the Asus GTX780 Direct CU II OC in a very close second place.
Love this card, but its still a bit rich for my blood. are they doing this with the GTX 770?
thats a crazy OC for such a high end board.
I love the nvidia boards in this generation, but they are all so expensive. im still looking at getting a 760 as I only game at 1080p. think its enough. waiting on the ti version if there is one coming out soon
Great review, but for under half the price I would recommend getting a GTX 760. I got one last week and it’s a great card for around the £210 mark.
Great review.
I wish you guys would actually find a truly STABLE overclock. Just like everyone else you get a clock speed that’s stable for a 10-minute benchmark, but not for real-world games. It’s misleading and people who buy and overclock the card are disappointed to find that truly stable clocks are much lower than those in reviews. I haven’t seen anyone across all GTX 780 threads get a truly stable core clock above 1040MHz, even for the water cooled custom ones. You should really run intensive games for 3-5 hours to get your overclocking results, and you’ll see they are nowhere near as good as you thought.
I played a few games on it for hours and it was stable at 1040mhz (no artifacting on memory or core and no hard locks etc). Its only misleading if people think that every graphics card in that particular range will hit those speeds, but they don’t as we mention in many reviews and I hope our audience know from 3 years of reviews here that every card can deliver VERY different results. Same as when you are overclocking processors.
We attempt to make everything as transparent as possible.
I bought one of these and the card is stable at 1204mhz with a 200mhz boost on the memory (couldnt get the memory overclock they achieved to become stable) but this clock speed was playable through the first half of crysis 3 (got tired of the game after a few hours) Then played borderlands 2 for a few more hourse. I finished off my testing with some fur-mark burn in tests to insure stability (2 hour burn in test). My room did get quite a bit warmer during this gaming period, but my window was open and outside was cold. The temps held steady at 73-76 Celsius for most of the duration of testing with the max temp being 77 degrees Celsius.
