Hi there


OK very little time, so it is literally just Heaven results:-


Heaven 2.5 at 1680x1050 4x/4x

Heaven 2.5 at 1920x1080 4x/4x

Heaven 2.5 at 2560x1600 4x/4x

System Spec:-
Intel 3960X @ 4.80GHz
Samsung 1600MHz @ 2400MHz
NVIDIA GTX 680 @ 1201MHz Core / 2402MHz Shader / 7200MHz Memory
Drivers - Ones on the CD!


To overclock I used MSI afterburner:-
Core voltage +100mv
Core speed +150 (This with core boost results in 1196-1201MHz)
Memory speed +600 (Results in 7200MHz)


This should hopefully give you some insight into overclocking potential and raw performance.

I believe with EVGA prevision tool X higher speeds will be possible along with higher voltages to get such speeds. :D

If you look at my original 7970 OC results on original drivers, the new NV card is only marginally slower in Heaven.

ATI 7970 does seem to have the slight edge when both cards are overclocked, but the NVIDIA card seems to be better optimised in games.

Sound wise the 680 is the quietest card I've tested yet and it never goes beyond 80c under load and generally sits around 60c under load.


A very impressive card and it is selling like hot cakes. :D :D :D
