Hi Guys - I had some time so I decided to run a few benchmarks with my three vid cards to see how they stack up to each other.
Bruce X benchmark:
770: 55 seconds
970: 61 seconds
280X: 31 seconds
Aside from the poor Bruce X score for my 970 I'm really loving that card. Only downside recently is the build number changing with the security updates so you have to wait a few days until Nvidia releases their latest web drive.
280X is really a nice card as well. Doesn't require any drivers which is a plus. You just have to install the Extra folder to EFI partition and you're pretty much set. Downside to this card is the noise! I don't have a case that's oriented to noise canceling so it was pretty crazy how loud it got towards the middle / end of the Unigine benchmark.
770 is still pretty decent card. Works natively which is nice so no drivers needed. I'm guessing it's that native support that allows it to better the 970 on Bruce X.
