what is that pic even supposed to mean?

 

[blastingcap]

I'm going to keep my eyes out for the minimum framerate comparison, because if GPU boost is just a way to boost already-high fps without affecting minimum framerates, it only serves to make the average look better but won't affect gameplay much.

 

[Keysplayr]

And why on earth would anyone choose that screen name?

 

[-Slacker-]

So... ETA 2 to 5 hours ?

 

[tviceman]

If it is 15% faster (on average) than an hd7970 at 1920x1200 and 2560x1600, I'm sold. When the non-reference cards come.

 

[Keysplayr]

No Idea. Just getting ready for whenever.

 

[at80eighty]

It looks like an interesting card. the physics seemed far less OTT in Ujesh's vid; looking forward to the reviews

No if history repeats for Nvidia cards it'll be in the morning. 9AM PST/12PM EST

That would be awesome, but it sounds a bit optimistic to me. I'd be happy if it's just competitive with 7970, hopefully helping to drive down prices on the high end.

Video card or tooth repair...

10% faster than 7970 at 2560x1600

Why not wait until a review is out to post this? I came in here expecting a review.

 

[lavaheadache]

I'm eagerly awaiting......

 

[MrK6]

I hope there are reviews that chart clocks/time.

 

[Raghu]

NDA lifts 6AM PST today.

 

[lavaheadache]

I hope there are reviews that chart clocks/time.

I'm actually the most interested in average overclocks since my 7970 can hit 1150 at stock voltage and it would take massive overclocking potential to sway me into buying one.

I really don't think that after considering overclocking potential that the GTX 680's are going to end up noticeably faster if any.

What would be cool is if AMD has a performace driver up their sleeve or even if oem's release new bios's that revamp base clocks speeds. Both long shots, any how.

Bring on the reviews baby!!!

Based on TH's leaked charts...you know the one's that have issues.

 

[Lyfer]

I'm gonna have a lot of vaseline and tissues ready.

I'd love to see overclocking potential as well. But if it turns out that the GTX 680 is on average running at 5-10% faster due to nvidia's boost during canned benches, I think a lot of people will be sold on a falsehood (or not, depending on what you intend to do with the hardware).

K6 let it go. It's over

Spoiler

 

[MrK6]

Let what go? You didn't refute any of my points. Those charts provide example of exactly what I was just stating - they list the clock speeds of the cards, but if nvidia's GPU boost is dynamically overclocking the cards, then that's not accurate, is it?

 

[Absolute0]

Still accurate. Just doesn't factor in max OC potential for each.
