My two ASUS GTX 670 Direct CU II will probably arrive tomorrow. Looking forward to that, and comparing to your results! :thumbsup:

When running 3DMark11 do you select to stretch the picture? I've seen better performance when selecting this option. If it's disabled, it seems like 3DMark11 locks the fps at Vsync (60FPS). This is obvious in the first test. When the picture is stretched, I get 60FPS + in the beginning of that test (Single GTX 670). This gives me a higher total score. BTW, this is in Performance mode.

Yea, using stretch gives about a 400 point boost for whatever reason.

You use Ivy-bridge and Z77 mobo in your SLI test?

I'm curious to see if my ASUS P8P67 PRO 3.0/i7 2600K combo, which only supports PCI-E 2.0 at x8 + x8 in SLI will bottleneck my GTX 670 SLI setup. Ivy on Z77 have PCI-E 3.0. This has double the bandwith when compared to PCI-E 2.0.

So PCI-E 3.0 x8 + x8 would equal PCI-E 2.0 x16 + x16. I know PCI-E 2.0 does not bottleneck one GTX 670, but I wonder how it will affect two in SLI... :hmm:

X8 wont bottleneck a 670

Well... x8 on PCI-E 2.0 is not the same as x8 on PCI-E 3.0. But I'll guess I will find out tomorrow... :\

I've seen that test. However, there are none SLI/Crossfire tests there for those high-en cards.

But should be a good indication that I'm probably fine with my setup since PCI-E 1.1 is not bottlenecking one high-end card much, when compared to PCI-E 3.0

I will when I can get a 120hz monitor at that resolution

What about 3 catleaps in surround?!

120hz is nice, but 2560 resolution is pretty awesome, imo the increased detail/resolution helps with immersion a lot. Thats just me though, what do I know :\

3 120hz screens in surround would be pretty sweet as well.

Need a warranty bro. Dont trust those asian panels.
 
I heard the Gigabyte 670 only gives a max of 111% power target. Is this true?
