OMG I love my new Nivdia 680

680 is a very good card.

Yeh your overclocked 7950 will probably score higher than a standard clocked 680 but he can overclock that as well and they should clock quite nicely if he wanted to.

a stock / superclocks (factory) 7950 will score less than a stock / superclocked (factory) 680.

Well, in all honesty, my 7950 @1150/1400 scores about 2000.
A good memory clock would beef that score up as I'm sure you've found :)

I haven't oc'ed any thing. It's all default. so my score of 2026 would be lot higher if I did. tbh I don't care for scores...as long as my games run smooth I'm happy. This have to be the smoothest card I've ever owned.

Just playing BF3 all on ultra and it was like a dream, but didn't play long, was playing Deadlight more. Awesome game so far.
 
I was talking to Rusty :) Kinda-ish...

I couldn't really give a monkeys about benchmarking either tbh. It's just nice to know where your rig sits in comparison and if it's working right.

Like I said, glad you're happy with it. Despite all the blahblahing and latest driver this n that, the 680 never stopped being a great card.

+1

Benching is for people with too much time on their hands and gaming is all that counts.

Wrong. That's your experience but don't pass it off as general fact. nVidia cards don't work all the time neither do AMD cards work all the time. The failure rate (bar a dodgy batch from a partner) are similar.
If you're going to post bias remarks then at least state that your comments are bias rather than trying to pass them off as fact.

Other than poor or no SLi performance I have never had a problem with a non-faulty nVidia card in any game or application.

FACT.
 
Let's just let OP enjoy his card. The 680 is an amazing piece of kit and I'm sure it will give many years of good performance.

There was no need to turn this thread into an AMD/Nvidia flamewar, not least because this round of GPUs is pretty much a dead heat at the high end anyway.

And you have ran every single Application, Program, Game? I don't think so.

Rusty is correct when he said you're putting a bias spin onto it

A bit of fun

Heres the slowest err GTX 680 with no access to voltage tweaks, waterblocks or anything else apart from asus GPU tweak.

I got 2215 ish on a 1250/1700 run I think. Way too hot and loud to run 24/7 though :)

Very good score for a 7950. The best I had seen before was MilanChris with around 2150 or something. Certainly great cards for the money and a wiser buy for multi screens.
 
Just my 2 p worth.

To be fair to skodamart, all he said was that he hasn't ever had a problem with an Nvidia card, so for him to say Nvidia cards work all the time, well for him they have. Not once did he say this was a fact or any other such thing.

(Disclaimer) this is my own personal opinion and if you don't like it feel free to do so :D

Pic shows Gtx 690 though :rolleyes:.

I kinda had an opposite experience of OP. Crappy EVGA 670 FTW, return then hop on a nice 7970 Lightning deal (cost ~the same as the 670). Just enjoy gaming and forget about those silly benches :cool:
