I tried these last night, I already have power increased to max and Im lucky if +180 will pass, +170 is solid, +200 no chance.

What's your fan running at? I think that some of the failures are a result of the heat from the GPU causing some of the memory chips to overheat.

Single radeon to compare. 1305MHz :0

My CPU was running at 3.3GHz though... yours looks to be a bit quicker.

[UrbanSmooth]

correct version : Wow, only 6GHz Ivy Bridge possible?

Expound upon this statement, please.

Could you overclock your CPU too please and show us what you get on your max CPU clock and 1300 Mhz GTX 680?

I will try to do something fun this weekend.

My max OC will be ~4.6GHz.

Heres my feeble score to compare it too, 4662 Mhz I7 980, 1000 Mhz GTX 560 tis:

P9849

I'm never ramping my CPU that high again, so wont get any better, its on 4.4 Ghz @ 1.35v for 24/7.

Ha, target score for my hardware - P8700, thats funny

Thats with fan set to max as stated, so 85%.

Bollocks. Maybe I got really lucky, then. Because most reviews were OC'd to about where you got your card. I don't quite get how I managed to get so lucky.

Mine wont even pass at +180 all the time, its right on the edge, +170 is pretty stable.

Im running 3D11 right now and +180 just dropped gpu drivers again.



OK new PB at +170:

Got bored since my third 680 isn't in to run my 3x FW900 setup so I tested one FW900 at 2560x1600 with each applicable game having all settings maxed.





The most VRAM use I saw in BF3 was 1930 MB, Crysis 2 was 1971 MB, and the most in Skyrim was 2028 MB, all with no slow-downs with the 680's. The other games were well under 2GB usage.

I am not sure if the limit on the 8x/8x PCI-E 2.0 slots were hurting the 680's more than the 3GB 580's but the 680's in SLI only ended up an average of 24% faster than the 580's. A bit lower than I was expecting.

There was an anomaly that I reproduced having over 100% scaling in 680 SLI Skyrim. If you include that result, SLI scaling is a perfect 100%. If you exclude that result and go off the other four games, the SLI scaling is 90%. Still pretty darn good. As for the reason Skyrim was scaling so incredible in SLI, might be a driver issue with single card as in both instances the GPU's were at max utilization.

What you clock used in these tests, stock or have something Overclocking? Good day!

Yes, beautiful photography, PcL2Criminal was happy in that capture.


Yes, to be correct

have a good Day!

Mate, it wont do that at stock, thats cranked right up - 1230/6908 with 2600K @ 4500 for 10862, 5000 for 10937 and 5200 for 11080.

Thanks, so he used the 1.2GHz GPU, that's what I wanted to know. Good day!

I still feel this is a highly tuned mid range card rather than a high end offering, it seems to lack the muscle of a high end card even though it does produce the results, maybe its the narrow headroom it has when compared to the 7970. BF3 results like these tell the story though:

...There was an anomaly that I reproduced having over 100% scaling in 680 SLI Skyrim....

CF does that with some titles too. With the 6870s I saw CF scaling at up to 110% in heaven and some games.

the big chip will have loads of compute stuff though similar to 7970..

I expect the big chip will jump perf on a similar level of 7870 to 7970!

double.. sorry!

If you look at the Fermi generation, the GTX *70 and GTX *80 were GF 1*0 parts while the GTX *60 is a GF1*4 part. I think this may have been planned as a GTX 660, not even GTX 670 Ti.

This will probably irritate fanboys from both camps, but both companies deserve a bit of a knuckle-rapping. As good as Tahiti is, AMD got caught with their pants around their ankles this round, and Nvidia took full advantage by raping the customer. Look at the GTX 680, if you ignore performance there's nothing about it which screams high-end SKU. Four phase power, dual 6-pin power connectors, a PCB basic enough to have been designed by a first year engineering student. I can imagine the conversation at Nvidia:

Engineering: Behold, here's the GK104, a true successor to the 8800GT 512MB
Marketing: Holy , look at that performance! Do you KNOW what we can sell this for?
Engineering: $299? It's a mid-range card?
Marketing: So? $499 es!

Expound upon this statement, please.

Once you've seen 6.5 GHz or higher, 6 GHz seems like 5.4 GHz on SB

I couldn't agree more, if the GTX 680 were priced at $400 if could be the second coming ^^
