Glad to see the new NVIDIA beta drivers improve performance significantly. I hope to post some performance impressions tonight once i get it up and running on my N670 PE.

I guess it's time for a new "Never Settle" programm:
Using Computerbase.de benchmarks of Call of Duty, AC3, Hitman and Farcry 3 the GTX680 is 14,3% (average) faster than the 7970Ghz...

And the 7970 is 34% faster then the 680 in AVP, what's your point? Cherry picking 4 games hardly tells you anything. 10+ of the latest games is another story.

Your nvidia promotion attempts fail pretty badly. Competition is good and currently NV is losing. Get over it.

It looks like a good game to stress hardware.

Gamestar's Technik Far Cry 3 graphic option analysis.
The link makes use of Google's translation from German to English... Broken English aside, its a pretty thorough breakdown of various PC graphics options and how they effect performance.

Wow, picking up several years old game. :hmm:

AC3 is TWIMTBP, Hitman and FC3 are Gaming Evolved 2012 titles. According Computerbase.de they are runing faster on Nvidia. It's show how AMD program failed. As for Black Ops II it's nothing new how games without TWIMTBP or GE running faster on Nvidia.

On topic, hard when overclocked HD7970 running tie with stock GTX680. :D

...........and the Driver Multithreading is gone with the latest patch

Well done AMD. Good dog Ubi :mad:
It's Assassin's Creed DX 10.1 all over again, only with reversed roles of NV/AMD.

But I can't be mad for long, because contrary to predictably mediocre games from Gaming Evolved,
FAR CRY 3 IS AN ABSOLUTE BLAST!!!

hitman is clearly faster on HD 7970 Ghz wrt GTX 680 . get your facts right.

10% with FXAA, 12% with 4x MSAA.

http://gamegpu.ru/action-/-fps-/-tps/hitman-absolution-test-gpu.html

30% faster at 1920 x 1080 4x MSAA

http://www.techspot.com/review/608-hitman-absolution-performance-benchmarks/page5.html

25% faster at 1920 x 1200 4x MSAA Ultra quality

Farcry 3

http://www.pcgameshardware.de/Far-C...y-3-Test-Grafikkarten-CPU-Benchmarks-1036726/

10% faster at 1080p no AA , similar performance with 4x MSAA (2% faster)

http://translate.google.com/transla...ru/action-/-fps-/-tps/far-cry-3-test-gpu.html

3% faster at 1080p VHQ, 2% slower at 1080p VHQ 4x MSAA

Farcry 3 is yet to release. You believe AMD won't have a Farcry performance driver come launch day, Dec 4th. hahaha

Maybe someone should tell AMD that Farcry 3 was released in a few continents...

so...it's okay for nvidia users suffer, just because there is an AMD logo there?

The 5870 is nipping at the 580 without AA. Pretty good showing. Honestly with a 3 year old card, AA in a lot of new games will be out of the question

Another game where CF scaling for 6 series is almost non-existent, sadly I think it's time to retire my QUAD CF. If you want to be on the bleeding edge you have to pay top dollars because you are forgotten as soon as something better comes along. It's a sad state of affairs because I would still be content with the performance of my old cards if they scaled properly, sadly not even 6990 scales, not to mention 3-way and 4-way set-ups. It's as if AMD showed me their finger.

In contrast GTX590 performs as it should. Still, quad SLI could be as broken as Quad Fire is in that game and sadly no site will check that.

Pcgameshardware.de said they disabled it in their test due to it causing crashes though, so perhaps the implementation wasn't solid

According to some posts I saw over at guru3d, you can still enable it in the config file

Downloading the game now. Hopefully we will get a performance increase driver from AMD soon, as I'm not completely happy about the 7950's performance judging by those benchmarks.

At this point the game is out worldwide except for the US (i guess UK technically doesn't get it for a few more hours).
But, if you've preloaded the game on Steam stateside you could be playing today......
