Ahahaha there are lots of new rumor sites that went up today with fake (or real) benchmarks saying it is better than 7970 and the other half saying it is not. So lame

Your a FAnboy! you like Nvidia!

Ok here is a question. If the 680 is not as good as the average oced 7970 how many of you will still buy it knowing there is a card with better performance

WOW This thread is full of cat fights and garbage. This coming from me has to say alot lol

Why do you have one of each? It sucks you got a bad batch cause 90% I know get high oc

Almost everyone can hit 1125/1575 on stock volts just like sandybridge doing 4.5. The potential is much higher than average for this card that is why it is labeled a monster overclocker. That is big shoes to fill

I really hope the 680 is amazing. If it is better in sli than the 7970 crossfire then I will be happy. I have been holding off on buying another 7970. One thing is certain, 2 gigs is not enough to play Skyrim at my settings. ugrids 7 hd texs eyefinity locked at 60 = 2.9 vram usage all the time...

This better be true and have monster overclocking if it wants to beat the 7970 otherwise 7970 is king. NO ONE GIVES A SHIT ABOUT STOCK SCORE ON TOL CARDS. enthusiasts only care about how fast the card is and oced scores are all that matters. This is just a rumor anyways. If they showed the...

I know it never has had an effect on performance but it does this time at least for me. It also has a different idle core and mem so I think it has to do with volts?

r11

Both tol cards are good and if they are the same then both will sell good. The drop in price won't happen for awhile and will be so little that waiting for it will seem pointless. All I know is if high end kepler comes out in 2013 then I will not touch it. Knowing the new amd architecture is...

The 8970 will probably come out before the the kepler high end. By the time kepler high end comes out the new amd architecture will be coming soon LoL rinse and repeat. Doubt we will see low prices again till the new consoles come out and change the game

Afterburner beta 12 has alot better performance than beta 14. its smoother on beta 12 and 12.2 is not nearly as good as r11. I been usuing system images to go back to fresh installs with r11 and that driver with beta 12 is WAY better in performance in BF3 and especially Skyrim

I did I it worked all good its just that its not a good driver

3 monitors then do amd What happens when a game has no sli support or problems. Good bye 3 screens. Amd just hotkey to 1 gpu. 2 gpus means 2 times the problems. Amd has 3 gigs now and with games that use alot aa and you are using 3 screens you will see it using over 2 gigs. Skyrim with ugrids...

I hope the 680 has 50 blinking leds and ribbon tasles on the exhaust to make it all pretty

-xcl turned clocks to 0. I flashed the bios to an unlocked one and it worked. The only thing is 12.2 sucks compared to r11 so I went back

Mine is real quiet and cool even at my high oc. I keep meaning grab the arctic freezer but I use earphones and never hear the thing.

maybe AB beta 14 fixes it with the new driver cause I am shifting down

my 7970 is whisper quiet at stock. If and I said if the 680 is like the 480 then yes it will be easy to tell the difference

IT WORKS! Thank you very much all you guys!

Sweet got it flashed. I was flashing 2 and it would not work of course. So now I will try 12.2 and hopefully ab will have higher clocks!

and it works like normal? I know I have the backup bios on my card so I guess there is not much to worry about. i can't remember what i have to change in command prompt to get it working again. Could you give me a quick run down or link to how to do it plz? Do I flash bios 1 or 2 I can't remember

Ya I saw that and I don't think I want to flash my card just to get a stupid driver to work. Do you know of anyone that has tried and uses this bios?

That does not work with the 7970

Its funny how NV says the 7970 is low to their expectations yet it sounds like they can't even live up to their own expectation. I get to try out the 680 paper launch on a blind test against the 7970. I have to wear loud earphones so I can't tell by the sound of the cards. Single screen I...

lmao! I have like 20 receipts that I want to post up here! CAN I? CAN I? lol

anyone else have this problem? i get the same runtime error

where is a link to this racerX thing

That's just my point. I am playing 9 ugrids 4k textures with2x aa and alot of other mods at 5760x1080. 2900 mb memory usage constant 60fps butter smooth

AFTERBURNER BETA 14 DOES NOT ALLOW OVERCLOCKING PAST CCC LIMITS! ON THIS DRIVER

Well good. That shut you all up LoL

There has been so much rumor shills to make the 680 seem bigger than the 7970 but now that the release is near and the realistic leaks are out. Well it just dosent look so good. Unfortunately its not going to kill the 7970. All they can say is its better in ONE game and not by much. So don't get...

The 2 gig keplers are not enough memory for current games. I realize that BF3 uses more than 2 all the time in eyefinity when aa is enabled. Skyrim will suffer performance loss with just 2 gigs. I understand nv is not interested in 3 screens but they should have at least 3 gigs as standard like...

single 7970 eyefinity will I see improvement in games like bf3 and skyrim with this driver or should I stick with r11. I was stable with the pre cert but had to over install with old driver to get ab to work. now that it works with the new ab I want to know if I should change

how many mods do you have running? Does it do it on vanilla?

From what I know some 480s where so hot the fan could not cool them properly so they wound up to over 80% and they were loud! Not to mention some were so hot they warped and or melted the thermal armor on the sabertooth mother boards On a different note I just realized with my ugrids at 9 and...

I shall try to be more positive :) I am excited about the new cards all in all I think rumor threads breed fanboys. I don't understand why ppl get attached to corporations

haha ya. I said all negative for the 7970 before it came but then it turned out to be good

wow nice comp
