GTX 680 SLI Results Leak Out

VRZone had the article up but has such taken it down

Any higher resolution pics? My eyes are hurting trying to see.

Saw the original full resolution images on VR-Zone, but they got taken down. basically what we already know.

The cards were overclocked massively: 1150MHz core, 2300MHz shaders, 1800MHz memory. Default clocks are 706MHz core, 1411MHz shaders, 1500MHz memory. The CPU was also a Sandy Bridge E running at 5GHz.

It looks like the GTX 680 will be ever so slightly slower than the HD 7970 when both are overclocked to around the same clocks. It also looks like their overclockability is similar.

Thank you. And holy cow that guy is running his 3930k @ 1.544V

GPUz may not even read gk104 correctly so we don't know if its hotclocks is still present, or its default is so low.

Not soon to go, i hope it will be a great architecture with high perf/w, which will flow through to the lower products and laptops.

Honestly I think that anything where there's a benchmark, and 3DMark is the only thing run should be banned from having a thread made.

Or at least don't put "results leak out" in the thread title, because people think that there might be actual benchmarks in the thread.

I am confused as well.

100% agreed. I loathe synthetic benchmarks.

Who cares about sli? Maybe 1% of GTX680 buyers? And synthetics. These cheaters/NDA breakers are pretty clueless and poor testing if you ask me. But I guess that goes along with being a cheater.

Looking at those numbers and assuming that SLI scales as well in 3DMark as CF does, the 680 @ 700MHz would score considerably worse than a 7970. Does GPU-Z query stock clocks from the card, or does it just pull them from a list?

 

[TidusZ]

Yeah, in the single 680 setup the 680 is overclocked like 35% and the 7970 is stock. It looks like at stock it will be slower than a 7970.

Or more likely stock clocks are around 1GHz and GPU-Z is just wrong. 7950s at 1050-1100MHz will pull those kind of numbers from 3DMark11. There's no way that NVIDIA would release a card that's similar in clock for clock performance to a 7950 but clock it 12% slower and call it a 680.

 

[T101]

Considering the cards are not released yet, and there is no definite information as regards to their performance, final specifications, and clocks, I think any information that we see need to be taken with a shovel of salt, not just a grain of salt.

What will determine it for me between AMD and Nvidia for my next upgrade are 1. Price/Performance ratio. 2. Ability to run 4-8 monitors of two cards in SLI/Crossfire. 3. Amount of performance increase over my current setup. 4. Memory amount on card to run at least 3 monitor as a single screen for games.

NDA drops at midnight?

NDA drops at midnight?

Says who?

1150mhz up form 705mhz is INSANE. Even better than the hd7950s that overclock to 1250mhz on air.

But if the base clocks really are only 705mhz ... I don't really see how it could possibly beat a hd7970...

from the looks of things, the 706Mhz base clock might just be an error due to the product being so new and the monitoring software not quite there as far as compatibility goes, or perhaps even some sort of power state should the card not need to run at full speed to put out the desired performance

at this point it seems likely that the full fledged clock rate under load will be just north of 1GHz
