    Help with poor performance on PNY GTX 670 (GTA 4, Crysis)

    We are talking about minimum fps. It runs over 50fps avg maxed out + 4xAA and thats good enough for me. 7970 was a bit faster but overall i didnt feel the difference. Last level on warhead is where the fps drops down to 20's from time to time. IMO the graphics justifies it to run like it...

    Help with poor performance on PNY GTX 670 (GTA 4, Crysis)

    It runs fine with kepler too. Dont know about that vsync problem, i was using adaptive vsync. Cryengine is suprisingly smooth even at 30fps so i dont think high 30's is too bad for minimum fps in sp. Also op didnt mention anyhing about stutter so i assume he doesnt have them.

    Help with poor performance on PNY GTX 670 (GTA 4, Crysis)

    Gta 4 is a piss-poor console port, cannot be run at highest quality on any machine(smoothly). Crysis warhead is bandwidth hungry game and your fps is normal. I recently played it through on enthusiast with 4xaa and i had fps drops down to low 20s. Im running 670 also, highly overclocked though.

    NVIDIA: New fanboi born

    Indeed pretty awesome. Im runnign 3x optoma hd67 projectors myself. May i ask, why did you end up throwing a rather small picture? Could be a space issue, but those pj's are screaming a bigger screen. Im using 3 custom made 80inch screens in surround, talk about immersive. :) 3d is amazing with...

    Why do I see kepler reviews where the core voltage slider is maxed?

    You misunderstood me, or i explained it wrong. Either way, precision or inspector doesnt drop the voltage from 1.175 at any point. Afterburner cant hold on to that 1.175v, after 60/70c it drops voltage to 1.162 and so on. Precision does not. edit: example. my cards are both running ~1250/1750...

    Why do I see kepler reviews where the core voltage slider is maxed?

    In afterburner, the voltage slider does nothing good. Overclocking via evga precision or nvidia inspector, you should move the voltage slider to max, it caps the voltage at 1.175 on load. Helps my reference cards maintain a little higher core speed compared to auto voltage.

    GALAXY GeForce GTX 660 Ti GC 3GB Video Card Review

    How much effort did you put in to make the 660ti look better than HD 7950? Job well done though :)

    Powercolor HD 7970 VORTEXII

    Maybe because ive seen it with my own eyes? Do you realize those press cards are usually the golden ones?

    Powercolor HD 7970 VORTEXII

    Usually low asic means it clocks to 1125-1170 with a vcore of 1.17. Higher asic and lower Vcore cards most of the time wont reach even 1100. How do i know? Ive tested so many of them. With a voltage tweak id say 50 percent of them are able to reach 1200mhz game stable. Ghz editions are on a...

    MSI GeForce GTX 680 Lightning Video Card Review @ [H]

    Yeah the price difference is huge. Currently here in Finland the chepest 7970 is about 379 euros, cheapest 680 about 500€. If i had to pick one now, id definitely go with 7970. 680 Lightning is 599€ in here, 7970 Lightning 479€. Again, id rather pick 7970 lightning. Same...

    AMD Radeon HD 7970 GHz Edition

    You keep bringing that up but the fact is half of the chips wont do +1200mhz. Out of 4 reference, dc2t and windforce that i tested, only 2 could handle +1200mhz fully game stable. Those were sapphire reference and windforce 7970. And keep in mind i had accelero 7970 installed on all of the...

    Radeon HD 7970 into GHz Edition by bios

    Some of us dont have bios switch. My xfx core edition and dc2 dont have one. dc2's switch supposedly just switches between dual and single link dvi. Tho mine has 2 different bios version which suggets 2 individual bios's.

    Low fps/frame time with MSI 7970 Lightning in BF3

    My personal experience is quite the opposite. Tried to replace 7970 with 680 dc2t and i notice microstutter only on 680. Even bf3 is less smooth with higher framerates than 7970. I still own both cards and i cant tell 1 reason why i should keep the 680 cu2. For games like Crysis 2 and 1, metro...
