yep thats exactly what i'm wanting, benchmark round up on last gen and current gen cards with current games and drivers. what i can tell you is that my 560 Ti SLI setup is able to still handle any current game at 1080p with at least high settings and sometimes some AA, in terms of raw power...

It's tempting to buy one of these for the price with the intention of buying another in a month or two but looking at the raw performance numbers in GPU-Z on this vs my 560 Ti's i'd be downgrading in performance until i got the second card and even then the main performance increase will likely...

What issue? they fixed it already. i waited to buy the game until they fixed the problem. with my 2x 560 Ti's i'm able to run the game at 1920 x 1080 high to very high settings across the board with tressFX on (no AA on at all) and get great graphics and 40-60 FPS constantly. when i get...

one of the reasons i went with the A8-5600k for my HTPC/Media server machine i was building recently was because of the integrated GPU that could actually do things. its not mind blowingly fast but it will run heaven benchmark at 720p low quality and get ~30 FPS so its not your typical garbage...

i've been going through the same trouble with my A8-5600k system i recently built for a HTPC. thus far the only program that seems to give me resonable and realistic temps is CPUID's HW monitor. but the reading from the motherboard seems low but does move up and down with loads correctly and the...

I recently finally upgraded from my nexus one (off contract) to a nexus 4 (on contract) with Tmob. great phone. very fast, the thing that shocks me the most is how fast Tmob's semi 4G is on this thing, i've tested as high as 20 Mbps down and normally get 10+ in the sf bay area. the icing on the...

confirming what others are telling you, your running out of VRAM i have 2x 1Gb 560 Ti's in SLI and experience more or less the same thing you do if i push settings too high and run out of VRAM

i have that same card, it says right on the front of the box it has a 3 year warranty from MSI. i would contact MSI because if have tried wiping drivers and have made sure you windows install is clean (not infected with viruses or spyware/malware) and otherwise acting normally i would have to...

all i know is v-sync and triple buffering can and often do add input lag. how much does depend on how the game makes use of them and how your driver do as well (as well as driver settings sometimes) if triple buffering was so great you would think nvidia would set it to on by default but they...

it's definitely your CPU. I did benchmarks on my 2500k at various clock speeds and core counts to show how much CPU performance can hold back frame rates in this game. http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1654043 i had to upgrade my Q8200 that was OC'd to 2.8ghz because it could not keep...

http://www.anandtech.com/show/2803/7 In short what Vsync does to input lag varies from game to game and even nvidia vs amd in how they handle things esp triple buffering. what they say is what i'm saying if you care about input lag disable v-sync. yes if V-sync is done right and does not...

my rig is nearly the same as yours in the main specs but i have 2x 560 Ti's SLI is a big improvement in many games.

what resolution are you running? i did pay attention to system RAM use on my rig in 64p multiplayer and it seemed to stay around 1.8-2 gb (total system ram used was 4-4.5 gb but thats got little to do with what the game is taking)

oh yeah there is a point where you have enough CPU but that point will vary from person to person based on personal preferences on how high they like/want their frame rates to be and what resolution they are running, higher resolution will require more CPU power to reach the same frame rates...

i did some testing on my 2500k rig with various clock settings/core counts http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1654043 the conclusion i came to is as long as you got the GPU power the CPU is often the bottleneck except if you run AA and other settings that put a major taxing on the video...
