Performance
Graphics cards are arranged in the diagram
by descending order of recommended price. The new generation of the card based
on Nvidia, like GeForce GTX 770 and GTX 760, marked turquoise.
The older generations are marked green. The only card based on AMD is red.
Let’s begin.
3DMark

(2013)
First, we may notice that the graphics
cards may have the almost close result in 3Dmark in all testing scene. However,
GeForce GTX 760 is faster than GeForce GTX 660 Ti, even the latter is
overclocked. It also looks better than Radeon HD 7950 but the excellent
overclocking ability of the solution based on AMD makes it unbeatable in this
test, except for the overclocked GeForce GTX 670. However, this review is not
about them.

This benchmark shows the benefit of the 256bit
memory bus deployed in GeForce GTX 760. The overclocked GeForce GTX 660 Ti beats
the default GTX 760 without antialiasing but the newer card is superior right
when we startup 8x MSAA. Additionally, GeForce GTX 760 even beats Radeon HD
7950. When being overclocked, it can challenge GeForce GTX 670, which is quite
a, achievement for a $249 product.
Metro 2033: The Last Refuge
The 256 bit memory bus of GeForce GTX 760 is
even more effective in this game:
Metro
2033: The Last Refuge
The new card has 50% more advantages than GeForce
GTX 660 Ti – the biggest advantages among all the tests. On the other hand, it
doesn’t seem good with Radeon HD 7950, at both default and overclocked
frequencies. The product based on AMD is always better in Metro 2033: The
Last Refuge.
Total War: SHOGUN 2 – Fall of the Samurai

War: SHOGUN 2 – Fall of the Samurai
GeForce GTX 760 is faster by 14% than GeForce
GTX 660 Ti in this game at default settings but they offer the same performance
when overclocking. It also has to notice that the new card successfully compete
with Radeon HD 7950 here.
Battlefield
3
We can see the same level like on the
previous test:

Sniper
Elite V2 Benchmark
Sniper
Elite V2 Benchmark
GeForce GTX 760 only shines in Sniper
Elite V2. It’s still ahead by 13-17% of GeForce GTX 660 Ti at default
settings, so the latter can only catch up with it when being overclocked. Then,
GeForce GTX 760 defeats Radeon HD 7950, also at overclocked settings. and
finally, GeForce GTX 760 overclocks as fast as the default GeForce GTX 670while
being the cheapest product in this review (in term of recommended price).
Sleeping
Dogs
The product based on AMD is always the
upper arm in this game, but the new card from Nvidia can challenge Radeon HD
7950:

However, it must be notice that, Radeon HD
7950 leads the game when being overclocked and beats the default GeForce GTX
770.

We see the sane ranking in Hitman:
Absolution. GeForce GTX 760 is still ahead of GTX 660 Ti, indicating that
its 256 bit memory bus is more important than the number of processors shading
for the power-consuming games.
Crysis
3
You can also see the same far-sighted in
this game:

3
GeForce GTX 760 is again equal to Radeon HD
7950 at default settings but the AMD graphics card is ahead when both are
overclocked.
Tomb
Raider (2013)
Radeon HD 7950 is certainly faster here:
Tomb
Raider (2013)
Still, the new card from Nvidia is ahead of
GeForce GTX 660 Ti.
BioShock
Infinite
This game creates the same ranking as the
previous test:
BioShock
Infinite
Metro:
Last Light
Defeating AMD in this game when the Advanced
PhysX tech is activated.

Last Light
We can see the same distance between GeForce
GTX 760 and GTX 660 Ti as before.
Disabled
Advanced PhysX
When Advanced PhysX is disabled, Radeon HD
7950 improves its frame rate but GeForce GTX 760 is still a little faster at
default settings.

Radeon HD 7950 wins this test while the
card based on Nvidia has the same position as in the previous game.

Radeon HD 7950 seems with this new name:
