[labs23]

58 and counting and this thread is sooo full of crap! Yah know crappy pics. and crappy charts - seems to be in every other page...
I hope the thing were talking about would come out opposite of crap...LOL! Now, somebody nawty enough to bweak eNe De eey and bwing us some "real" leaks..
Come on guys, if we are this close to release, this is the best time to "leak" what you've got.

cost is to high, half that it be fine.

So much hype...

Is it only me or is it that with every site leaking some new GTX 680 details is getting slowed down to a crawl and not responding? Is GTX 680 interesting people THAT much? xD

Yes, people are expecting the second coming of GPU-messiah to bring prices to a reasonable level, but it seems that we have a false messiah inbound...

Yea well the problem is that AMD undershooted and Nvidia overshooted their typical goals. The GTX 680 seems to be a very impressive chip taking into account every aspect of it and it doesn't help that despite the rather subpar performance for a new series of cards from AMD decided to price them very high (usually we get a bigger performance boost out a new series for same/similar pricing) and Nvidia will just jump on the same bandwagon as AMD and adjust the price according to these cards so we're paying highend prices for what was meant to be a midrange/performance card if only AMD had delivered more performance. xD

The waiting game for something more reasonable price/performance offer still continues for me at least, I've got a 3D Vision supporting monitor so I'd prefer an Nvidia card due to better 120Hz support.

Can you explain what you mean by "cherry picked" without bringing TWIMTBP into the conversation? IMO, the whole "NVIDIA vs. AMD sponsored game" conversation has pretty much gone out with the trash over the last year or so.

Case and point:

- The Witcher 2: NVIDIA sponsored, AMD holds performance edge
- Battlefield 3: NVIDIA sponsored, relatively even performance between the two
- Dirt 3: AMD sponsored, NVIDIA holds a performance edge
- Deus Ex: AMD sponsored, relatively even performance
- Batman AA: NVIDIA sponsored, relatively even performance
- Crysis 2: NVIDIA sponsored, even performance again
- Shogun 2: AMD sponsored and AMD holds an edge in non-AA situations due to a specific lighting shader being used. With AA enabled, things tend to even out
- Saint's Row 3: Not sponsored by anyone and plays like crap on all systems it seems...

IMO, in today's world of optimizations, there are no "cherry picked" games unless a reviewer decides to suddenly start using hardware-based PhysX in comparative benchmarks.

If these cherry picked benchmarks are the best a heavy OCed gk104 can do, it doesn't look good at all

[Handrox]

HERE REVIEW CHINENSE!

What the hell does a heavy OCed GK104 mean? It's a feature of the card. Are you gonna start complaining about the Turbo in CPUs too now? Or you're gonna stop only after AMD implements it?

Heavy OCed where? I see 1006Mhz, which is supposed to be stock.

- Saint's Row 3: Not sponsored by anyone and plays like crap on all systems it seems...

It's a Gaming Evolved title IIRC. And it runs just fine without the highest lighting setting that seems to bog the game down quite a bit.

The review used at least LP2 which at least used to be way out there in Nvidia camp, not sure what the current situation with that game is. And all the other games were titles known to work well for Nvidia. I guess we'll just have to wait for SKYMTL to release his unbiased DX:HR and Shogun II results.

[Luka_Aveiro]

It's good for marketing... First 1Ghz top GPU EVAR!

[Lanek]

So what the clock? on this benchmark suite, they show 706mhz default, and they run all at 1006mhz ? 1006mhz is default ? turbo boost ? or they have oc to 1006?

[boxleitnerb]

^ welcome to the new intransparent world of benchmarking, sponsored by Nvidia turbo

[jam2k]

LOL @BF3 chart, where's 7970 FPS count ?

@SKYMTL
I think the whole "AMD sponsored" thing just means that AMD partnered with the developer to help ensure proper Eyefinity support, maybe a little additional help here and there; they generally aren't as involved with game companies as Nvidia tends to be.

I completely agree, the days of graphical features being exclusive to either AMD or Nvidia seem to have died a long time ago. I think game companies learned that having exclusive content towards one vendor does not help with game sales.

And somehow, TWIMTBP is a lot more, but NVIDIA just sucks at securing their performance lead? Or what are you trying to say?

I never saw these programs as anything but good for us, gamers, but it looks like I might be in the minority.

They're all 1920x1080 and 8xAA.

[highoctane]

The world is turning upside down, Nvidia using less transisitors, smaller die, higher clocks, low tdp, cooler running, smaller memory bus and who knows what else.

Insanity I say!!!!

Saint's Row 3 never worked well for me and the Steam forums are loaded with people complaining about the game's performance on even high end systems.

Our games list will be expanded this time around. Skyrim, Batman: AC and Wargame: EU Escalation have all been added. Saint's Row would have been added too but like I said, there seems to be a long list of issues with that game....

Do you have any proof of that? I have several friends at the Ubisoft offices here in Montreal that say differently about AMD's involvement with certain titles....

Oh darn....the most popular resolution around....

Yeah, that's totally cherry picked.

[Vardant]

Well at least I know FXAA will be added but perhaps there's another entirely new method we don't know about too but that sounds somewhat unlikely.
