Nope it's windows 7. I had the same problem until I upgraded to windows 8. Same 680. Much better performance.

Vsync on at all times here too. Being uber in multiplayer isn't a priority but I can't stand shredded images.

How long is "acceptable" between releases from the two companies though? It seems if they don't launch on the exact same day everyone goes bezerk. The 7970 isn't out two weeks yet and is in short supply. A bit too early to panic.

Edit: Misread target...

No man, I don't know any more than you do. If I did why would I waste time speculating/arguing on a forum? :) I was just stating the obvious. There will be more info on Kepler in the next few weeks and it will spark far more interesting discussion and provide better context for the 7970...

Yeah where the hell did all my posts go? Lol, guess I pissed off somebody. Edit: hmmm I see them, did they disappear for a while or something?

There's no such thing as too racist....if you wanna play that game I say go all the way. Anyway, the chinese have been the source of a lot of accurate rumours in the past but also a lot of bullshit. The good stuff comes through cause a lot of the big AIB's package their cards over there. Early...

No we have always agreed on that point. We just disagree on what's considered a top-end GPU release or full process migration. GTX 285's don't fit in that category in my book. In any case we've beaten this thread to death. It's all not going to matter in a few weeks anyway - there'll be a lot...

So Kepler is coming in February, March, April, May, June or December. Nice, we only have a few months left for random guesses!

[H] tests only a few games in each review and has no convenient way of aggregating data from multiple reviews. I don't regard any one site as gospel and [H] certainly isn't at the top of that list. I read all sites' reviews and decide who's reliable based on their track record. As far as I know...

@ICDP: Nope my original post was asking why people are so hyped for a 30% bump. All your subsequent beating around the bush was just to distract from the question :) Don't get me wrong. I'm not asking you not to be impressed. Just expressing my surprise at the whole thing. At least we agree on...

@Viper-X, numbers are from TPU launch reviews for all cards in question. 1920x1200. That's pretty representative to me. You have a better site or settings that you consider more representative? And now we have clowns claiming its 60% faster, lol. Amusing.

@IDCP, are you arguing with yourself? When did I say the 7970 is a crap card. You should stick to numbers. My point stands - it's a lower increase than other architecture and process migrations hence my surprise at the hype. You can harp on the 480 all you want but it's funny that it was...

Ok, let's try this with no interpretation, just raw numbers relative to each company's former generation. All numbers based on launch reviews at TPU, 1920x1200 resolution. 65nm -> 40nm: GTX 280 -> GTX 480 (+54%) GTX 280 -> GTX 580 (+79%) HD 4870 -> HD 5870 (+64%) 40nm -> 28nm HD 5870...

Because right now it's being evaluated in a vacuum with no 28nm competition.
