First I'd like to say some areas paused for a second for saves, I had the same thing happen with my 470s. I'd also like to say for the first half at least, my cursor felt like it was "stuttering" when I moved it left to right, annoying - I remember my 470s doing this in the opening area even with my i5, overclocked I was cpu limited at times which didn't do the frametimes justice as I blew up every car after the guy got sniped.
All that said, aside from the left to right stutter, which almost feels like some kind of mouse smoothing gone bad, I couldn't tell a difference in smoothness between this and my 470 (which used lower settings).
CPU: i3-540 @ 4.2GHz
RAM: 8GB DDR @ 9-10-9 1T 1840MHz
GPU: Stock 800/1250 (old school) - Overclocked 1200/1700
Game Settings: 1080p (I tired to get downsampling to work, could not after one attempt decided to hold off), Ultra everything, FXAA disabled, 4xMSAA, Blur on, and Highest AO.
From my calculations based on the one sample ...
I saw a 44% gain in MIN fps, as well as a 41% gain in AVG, while being cpu limited in several areas with the OC.
This is the first time I really played around with my card, I've been bitmining since I got it but the girls told me it wasn't worth the time... I'm looking at basically a $100 a month less power (so less than $3 a day), so I might either stop and do more stock/oc frametime/fps tests in various games, or I might harvest 2 coins and never run a bitmine again.
