[Xed]

Quick heaven sli run below.

3dmark performance setting 17990 - Graphics 23410

23k for 3dmark11?

What clocks did you get?

I'm not afraid to say when I saw Xed's Heaven run earlier today, I figured he was either running 3 card SLI or was pulling a bit of photoshop hijinx on us. I received my second Lightning today and got it installed... Two 680 Lightnings are ridiculously overpowered, haha.

Something to keep in mind, I don't know if it's just with certain cards or in general, but the minimum FPS in this benchmark is wildly misleading. My minimum as displayed always comes within the first 1/4 of a second in the benchmark while it seems like it's still loading up, always. My actual minimum during this run itself was 72fps.

This card clocks as well or better than my 1st, I haven't ran it solo yet to find it's best clocks, nor have I tried pushing any further yet with them together. I just set clocks as they were for my previous runs. 1300/6804

When running heaven benchmark, before you start the bench press enter to skip between scenes. Let each one load up a second and skip to the next. When it's back to the beginning, go ahead and press F9 to start the bench. I have found this eliminates hitching found at the very beginning.

I agree, the lightning 680 cards appear to be completely overpowdered! Some folks at other boards have gotten devastating results, 23.5 - 24.5 graphics score in 3dmark11(P) is happening very regularly, along with overclocks at 1300+ (median). It doesn't have kepler throttle either, which every other 680 on the market does (as long as you use BIOS2).

It is a beast of a 680 for sure!

Thanks for the tip

When one of you 680 Lightning owners gets a chance i would appreciate if your could bench Unigine at the following settings with a single GPU:

Unigine 1920x1080
8xAA full screen
Shaders: high
Textures: high
Filter: trilinear
Anisotropy: 16X
Occulsion: enabled
Refraction: enabled
Volumetric: enabled
Tessellation: extreme

preferably at the lightning's factory clocks, as well as your best stable OC.
i'd like to compare performance against my MSI 670 PE OC, below




Thanks

FPS 56.1
Score 1413

Min 33.7
Max 148.8

I also picked up a classified just to compare with and it looks like I have a bad card.

Boosts to 1189 and randomly crashes even at that. I also get weird screens full of artifacts during post.

Also, blowers suck for noise. That thing is loud even at 30% fan speed.
