Newer tech with not enough vram to solve stutters. I never talked about technology topics. An electro car is also newer tech with higher efficiency, but a porsche is still the car, which has the balls. Senseless to talk about newer tech, because it can also happen, that the newer tech is having start up problems, which costs money. Nvidia for sure did a tech switch and did it good, but we are still talking about the thread topic: Which card is best to use in clod. My answer: 7970 (full stop)!
I am also aware of your topics. I am not a super engineer, but I am not dumb. I am currently not for one manufacturer and promoting this only. A gamer, who plays multi platform games and do not want to additionally work on cooling, quietness and uses it stock out of the box, I would recommend the 680. But who is spending so much bugs and just let it be the card, as it is? This is, what makes the difference between tech interested enthusiasts and bling bling kids showing balls, which they bought in a store.
You know, what I mean. Such a card is too expensive to be used by kids, not knowing, what it is. Just bought the most expensive one and do not take care on their demand.
My demand: a watercooled card with high vram to be well equipped for some new projects like higher resolutions and triple monitors. So, this is my decision and it is the best currently with such variables and the best for clod, to prevent any stupid and annoying fact to turn out as a huge problem for you personally. I would bite myself in the ass, if the stutters won't be solved for my 680. And I would be very pissed, if the driver stutters are solved and I still have stutter caused by vram.
That is, why I am currently not recommending the 680 as the best card for clod!
