You guys can read my review soon. :P

Wow, I guess I will keep that one for last, probably can finish the others altogether in the same time I would read yours. Does it really take so many words to write a review in russian ?

BTW where could I read that ?

GK104 is a very powerful GPU, but it seems to be bandwidth limited at resolutions over 1080p.

Res....... 7970 ...... GTX 680 .....
1050p: 133 fps | 162 fps (122%)
1200p: 118 fps | 135 fps (114%)
1600p: 082 fps | 083 fps (101%)

Now imagine that GK110 comes with 384 bit, or even 512 bit bus width. Even with 'just' 50% more shaders it should be able to pull 60%+ ahead.

Don't tease me... Been waiting for this card for 4 months, now should look forward to another half a year of wait for the GK110. T_T

Ironically, its not in Russian. Its in English. Bright Side of News* is where you can find it. I'd give you a pre-emptive link but nobody can confirm if its actually keeping our review from the public

Thanks for the interest, its only 11 pages

I just cover a lot.

I do not think so

I'm going to sleep, its 4:30am I've been awake for 20 hours. 17 of which I spent working on this review, lol

It doesn't have to happen in every single application. Some games are more bandwidth intensive. Fps reduction going from 1200p to 1600p for GTX 680 is noticeably greater than for 7970 in most scenarios.
Almost definitely not a VRAM amount issue, though.

In Dx11 games overall perfomance GTX680 VS reference speed HD7970 is as follows:

1920x1200 4xAA16xAF +9,1%
1920x1200 8xAA16xAF +8,9%
2560x1600 4xAA16xAF +5,2%
2560x1600 8xAA16xAF +3,5%

in the box say DX11, the GPU-Z say DX11.1... LOL

**kromosto** · 03-22-2012, 04:40 AM

price is 20 minutes later but i confirmed that my local store will start to sell just after nda lifted. so availability is very very good.

GTX 680 = $500......good price
based on toms review + tweaktown Review shows us that GTX 680 beat HD 7970 By (15%-18%) 1920x1200.
Do not forget that HD 7970 price: $550!

**SKYMTL** · 03-22-2012, 04:53 AM

FYI, Tweaktown was NOT using the correct drivers for the GTX 680.

**Mech0z** · 03-22-2012, 04:54 AM

Then we should expect pricedrop on 7970 I suppose?

Means there's more juice for the 680...

This means that the results that we have seen in the Tweaktown review is not accurate?

Hope so... would take some of the sting out of likely not getting my 2x eVGA 680's until Monday since they didn't ship last night
