Why do you diss NV with this slanderous photochop mess of JHH?

My GTX 680 starts paying this file @ 1006/3005, then it drops to 550/3005 in about a second, and then it drops again to 324/324 and stays there until the end of the playback.
Same thing as above with the 680. Loads up to max clocks then drops down to idle clocks after a couple seconds on GTX 670.
Guys I think its more of a choice of, Do you want a AMD card or a nVidia card that can do phsyx as well.
They both obviously perform same,, your not gonna see a difference in real world play.
Nice graphs,, wow looks like 690 GTX pownz the world right now, imagine SLIing that thing. LOL gl

at my rez i'll take extra 1gb vram over physx
What about 3d gaming? Twimtbp? Functional sli vs a questionable at best crossfire?
AMD got my money because I wanted my 3x120hz monitors to run a single image from a single card.
I wish NV was in the game on multi-monitor in the same way... but they're not competing for my money.
I thought nvidia supports 3 monitors with one card with the 6 series?
They do. I'm running 3 - 24" 1920x1080 monitors in surround with a GTX 680 for a combined resolution of 5760 x 1080. Admittedly my monitors are not 120 Mhz rather 60 Mhz so I cannot comment on that. I'm running Nvidia Surround and it works extremely well. I previously ran the monitors with a Radeon 6970 in Eyefinity. I simply hooked two of the monitors to the DVI and use a fullsize active displayport for my third monitor. Obviously the GTX 680 is a more powerful card so games are much more playable with the GTX 680 than they were with the 6970. I also like that Nvidia made the middle monitor the default monitor for the start menu etc. Nice touch.I thought nvidia supports 3 monitors with one card with the 6 series?
With a single DP port? They couldn't help me.
2 of the monitors use the DVIs (there are 2 on the GTX 670/680) and the third monitor uses the either the HDMI or the displayport.With a single DP port? They couldn't help me.
Having come from Eyefinity to Surround, I will tell you Nvidia got their act together with these 6 series cards. Surround is easy.I don't do surround but the GTX 670/680 definitely do triple monitor on a single card. However, mostly everyone states that the desktop management tools have an edge towards ATI.
Other than that, I don't know much because I haven't fiddled with surround yet. Maybe someday!

Blastingcap, Have you tried Surround with a 6 series card yet? I'd love to try Eyefinity with a 7970. I had my 3 monitor rig run in Eyefinity with a 6970 but it clearly did not have the horsepower that this GTX 680 does. I like that Nvidia made the middle monitor the default for the start icon and for the icons running in the lower right corner. In Eyefinity, I constantly was looking let or right.I do not believe in multi-GPU, to the point where adaptive vsync, GPU Boost, possible center-weighted optimization for Surround, Bezel Peek, CUDA/PhysX, better 3D support, better power efficiency at load, etc. matter more than SLI to me. (Did I miss anything?)
TWIMTBP doesn't necessarily help; look at how Crysis and Metro2033 are doing now. 79xx actually does quite well in those games vs. 6xx. But at least you are more certain that there will not be killer driver bugs for those games at release, I guess... but I almost never buy games at release, so TWIMTBP matters little to me as well.
You can easily set the middle monitor to be primary, just tell it to be Primary in CCC. Not default but not hard.
I was under the impression that NV still has no presets like AMD does. Very easy to use hotkeys to go from single to triple Extended to triple Eyefinity. Has NV fixed that yet? Or are they still doing stuff like Bezel Peek first... nifty but come on, I want hotkey presets.
I'll check when I get home and let you know.You can easily set the middle monitor to be primary, just tell it to be Primary in CCC. Not default but not hard.
