    GTX680 Vs 7970 : BF3 / Single Monitor

    I just want to be clear that I do acknowledge that the 680 is faster in single player and is cheaper. I'm just wondering where people are getting this notion that 680 somehow blows the 7970 away?

    GTX680 Vs 7970 : BF3 / Single Monitor

    Where are you guys getting that the 680 kills the 7970 in BF3? That isn't true especially when it comes to the multi-player mode. http://hardocp.com/article/2012/03/22/nvidia_kepler_gpu_geforce_gtx_680_video_card_review/5

    Hard Choice between HD 6990 and GTX 680

    Unless you're planning to mine Bitcoins that is not the best deal on a 6990.

    7970 coming down to $449 ?

    There is no way the HD 7970 is dropping down to $450. The performance of the cards are too close for that to happen. AMD's driver crew needs to turn it to 11 & copy auto clocking combined with their cards headroom and you have a real monster there.

    GTX680 Vs 7970 : BF3 / Single Monitor

    If you go with an 7970 you'll need to OC it unless you spend the money on an heavily OC'd model. This 7970 just started to come down in price. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814102982

    7970 CFX OC vs GTX 680 SLI OC @ 3600x1920

    Just wanted to say thanks for running those tests. I'm jealous, my car needed a new set of tires so no 7970 for me.

    Single card eyefinity/surround - 680 or 7970?

    Buy a Sapphire 7970 and it will come with all the adapters you need. If you like eye candy then AMD is the way to go because of the extra memory. It's pretty much an even wash at this point between the two performance wise, just OC the 7970 to at least 1GHZ and you're good.

    Keep 7950 or sell for 680 gtx?

    You have one of the best models out right now. You didn't even mention your monitor setup so you're probably doing just fine.

    Anyone else think Nvidia will...

    Nvidia doesn't have much head room left with FERMI. Remember the issues with the 590 Meanwhile the 7970 has some nice OC range that will allow the 7990 to be a monster and to continue AMD's reign of the top end market. As for the price, it's fair enough. That's what Nvidia charges for the 3GB...

    Lesson of the Day: Encrypt Your Wi-Fi

    Being tazed hurts a hell of a lot less than falling down some stairs. I personally would rather be tazed that only lasts as long as the juice is on as oppsed to being bruised, sore, & possibile broken bones.

    Microsoft: Decision Stands on No IE9 for XP

    Don't forget that tons of people hated SP2 as well. How dare MS turn a firewall on by default to protect the end users & OS. The issues with raw sockets, I could go on. The three year upgrade cycle will keep people from getting entrenched like they did with XP. And it will keep versions of IE...
