with 3D Mark 2011
In 3DMark 2011, the Radeon HD 7790 is
31-36% ahead compared to the Radeon HD 7770 GHz Edition and 9-11% behind the
Radeon HD 7850, beating the latter in overclocked mode. Meanwhile, the GeForce
GTX 650 Ti Boost is 11-19% faster than the original GTX 650 Ti and 5-7% slower
than GTX 660. Comparing the two new products, the Radeon HD 7790 is better at
the Performance settings, but the
GeForce GTX 650 Ti Boost preceded at the Extreme settings.

We can see the same image in the first two
test scenes from 3DMark 2013: Nvidia products outperform same-class AMD
solutions. The heaviest test Fire Strike Extreme emphasizes the weak side of
the Radeon HD 7790, namely the small amount of its onboard memory, which leads
to a performance hit. The GeForce GTX series cards all have twice the amount of
memory and cope with Extreme
Fire Strike much better.

Although the new Radeon HD 7790 is 30%
faster than its predecessor Radeon HD 7790 GHz Edition, the GeForce GTX 650 Ti
Boost is faster still. The gap is especially impressive than both cards are overclocked.

Same class products of AMD and Nvidia are
comparable in this game if we do not use anti-aliasing feature. But as soon as
we enable 4x MSAA, Nvidia products go ahead. Please note that the Radeon HD
7790 and GeForce GTX 650 Ti Boost fit snugly in between the HD 7770 GHz Edition
with HD 7850 and the GTX 650 Ti with GTX 660, respectively.

The new HD 7790 once again fills the gap
between the Radeon HD 7770 GHz Edition and HD 7860 in this game. But we must
note again that the GeForce GTX 650 Ti Boost had a huge advantage in terms of
performance.

Considering in this test and the previous
tests, the new Radeon HD 7790 seems to lie between the GeForce GTX 650 Ti and
GTX 650 Ti Boost in terms of performance. It can only compete with these model
when overclocked.

The Radeons are competitive against the
opposing GeForce series cards in this game unless we turn on antialiasing. With
4x MSAA, Radeon HD 7850 is the only AMD's card that has good results here. The
1GB products work too slow with 4x MSAA enabled.

Radeon HD 7790 is 18-26% faster than HD
7770 GHz Edition and 19-29% slower than the Radeon HD 7850. In other words, it
is exactly halfway between the two mentioned products. The GeForce GTX 650 Ti
Boost is closer to its senior rather than its junior cousin. The new Nvidia
solutions are clearly superior to the Radeon HD 7790.

Radeon HD 7790 fills the gap between the HD

The Radeon HD 7790 performed pooly in the
new Tomb Raider. When we enable such a light version of antialiasing as FXAA,
it slows down along with the Radeon HD 7770 GHz Edition. It's all because of
the lack of graphics memory. This card surely needs 2 rather than 1 gigabyte of
it.
StarCraft

The lack of graphics memory is shown very
clearly here:

However, it should be noted, that all AMD
