GeForce 680GTX released

Thanks for posting results so quickly Raggz.
Enjoy in your new toy

But could you please try one run w/o adaptive Vsync, just for testing.
I understand that this is very good improvement for real use,
and I'm glad that it is working well.

And maybe you can put that 3930K beast at least on 4 GHz w/o turbo
I'm shure that you just need to change multi in BIOS.

This is good stuff.

I'm curious why Flanker gets a higher ave rate than Ragz with AMD, given that Ragz has a higher speced system and both are running the same res.

@Ragz ... do you have SSD?

[Flanker35M]

S!

Propably because I did OC my CPU to 4.0GHz from 3.3GHz. I do not think SSD helps that much. I prefer to run the track a couple of times so the textures load into memory before running the benchmark.

OC'ed to 4426mhz and turned off v-sync. The rest is the same settings and i got these numbers in Black Death:

Minimum: 10
average: 53
Maximum: 142

Shows that both the cards are up to par with another. At least in this game
God i love this card


Here's a screenshot of another run in Black Death:

S!

Raggz, exactly my thoughts And we can test more after the patch! BTW..how do you like Ivy Bridge and X79 chipset? I am really hard pondering getting that, but again will the gain be enough to warrant the higher cost? What do you think?

I upgraded from I7 950 X58 chipset and i don't regret it one second. But it is a lot of money. Hard to say for me if it's worth it to you.

It's damn fast and i'm loving it. Everything just pops up.
Asus SSD disc cache is very nice to. I bought a 60Gb SSD for that and a 240gb SSD for favourite games.

Thanks for the feedback, looking forward to receiving my GTX 680 on Monday

S!

Yah, that is what I have been reading that owners of Z68 or similar will not benefit that much except maybe the memory going quad channel and PCIe 3.0 support. I think I will wait a bit on the GPU change..the patch will tell what to do.

[Raggz]

Here's the numbers for ArmA 2.

ArmA 2

1920x1080 all settings on very high except AA which is on high. Visibility set to 6600m.
benchmark 01 is used.

GTX580

Minimum: 14fps
Max: 34fps
average: 21fps

GTX680

Minimum: 20fps
Maximum: 63fps
Average: 35fps

A really good boost here

Thats an decent boost alright.
