The converse is true for bitcoin mining and "solving crypto problems" /evil laughter
The 1000 dollar titan would get smoked by a single 6950 for mining bitcoins.
It's simply a difference in how the hardware is designed and software can't change it.
My brother had a similar problem with running a certain problem on his work xenon computers. They were 10x as slow as a 2011 based 3970. And yes they can afford the extra 400 bucks for 1% more juice. Go figure  |
But, software can change it. The problem here is that the old AMD work units wouldn't fully utilise AMD's core. That is changing now.
AMD cards (especially the new gen) are beasts when it comes to GPU compute A 7970 should blow any Nvidia card out of the water right now, as long as software is optimised to use 100% of the core.
