GTX 670 OC'd to GTX 680 specs???

You should invest more time in reading and learning, perhaps about the things you constantly (blindly) post about :thumbsup:

I know what I'm talking about. Please explain where you disagree

Oh, you meant GPU bottleneck. FPS can be bottlenecked by the CPU too, you know..

Yes I know but that rarely happens never seen it personally. Not even on 64 player bf3

30 minutes isn't even enough for a stress test to determine the overclock is stable, never mind fine tuning it

What absolute BS. Not everyone wants to spend time overclocking when they could spend time gaming.

It took me 20 seconds to move a slider to 1125mhz from 1000 mhz on a GPU that amd made for 925mhz.

That didn't involve stress testing to determine it's stable, and neither did it involve any fine tuning which means finding optimal core clock, memory clock (and if applicable, voltage).

He didn't say it was a 50% boost from 40 to 60, he said it stops frequent drops to 40 fps. It might shock you to know that some 7950s are capable of going from 800MHz to 1250 + MHz. That is more than a 50% overclock, so it is possible.

Yes its very shocking actually, and absolutely an exception to the rule. The vast majority of video cards do NOT overclock that well, so i never bothered caring. This is especially true in the high end where there's already little headroom to overclock because they're at their limit.(no high end card is gonna overclock 50%, thats for sure!)

CPUs have always overclocked 30%-50% atleast, & its hardly an exception, every mid tier cpu overclocks that well.

Anyways all the power to u guys if ure seeing a 50% increase in performance from ur overclocks. I doubt my gtx 670 windforce OC can get anywhere near a 50% overclock as its already @ the top of the food chain.

who stress tests a GPU?

Turn on BF3 and play for 3 hours without a crash on Ultra and you know your stable.

 

[lehtv]

It took you 3 hours to determine the OC is stable? Correct me if I'm wrong but I think 3 hours is more than 30 minutes.

Like I said, if you understood how hardware functioned, it would only take 30 minutes. Since you don't, it takes you longer. Try not to place your limitations on others.

That is the biggest side grade if Ive see one.

:thumbsdown:

Those 3 hours are my gaming hours. Its not a "waste" basically just clock and play

1. Move slider to right, play games.
2. If/When driver crash occurs, move said slider slowly towards the left until stable operation
3. Enjoy :thumbsup:

I do agree with your ealier post that the new Radeons are the exception when taken in context of GPU history. Though it absolutely is not an execption to the rule for 7950s so clock so well, 40%-50% is very achievable.

Wow, some trumpet blowing going on here...LMAO!
