k|ngp|n's 3DMark11 single GPU record smashed

[Yaayuh!]

Stop singing and go and beat my score

I would love to. Have to wait until Saturday morning as i'm busy until then
It's gonna take a lot to beat it! But my 3930K sucks.

k|ngp|n has held it for ages with the 680, but it's now been beaten by nearly 800 points by SniperOZ with a 7970

He might of got even more using an hex core.

I imagine that the 680 is rather vram bandwidth limited at anything above 1500MHz GPU core. The 7970 should scale much better at extreme GPU clocks because the GPU is the bottleneck.

From what I have seen, the 12.11 drivers level the field clock for clock at normal overclock frequencies and resolutions. The 7970 was always better at extreme resolution, again due to memory bandwidth.

He's 5th now. Beaten by other 7970s . Only 680 in the list is in at 7th .

That is exactly it. the 256bit memory bandwith is what holds the 680s back. Bad move from Nvidia IMO.
