that link not loading for me

edit:

it works now, ignore me

 

[straxusii]

You have to keep trying it, they are being hammered at the moment

 

[Martini1991]

It's really getting hammered.
Depressing.

 

[TwsT]

review doesn't give much info on the heaven settings for those scores but I like what I see

 

[Locky]

From what I can see, The 680 is faster by some margin at 1080p and lower, but 1600p it's faster in some games on par with others.

 

[straxusii]

Shame TT gave us no overclocking info.

 

[Culinia]

It's a shame there's no Battlefield 3 benching. The primary reason why I want to upgrade my card depends entirely on the performance on this game alone!

 

[djxput]

Shame TT gave us no overclocking info.

ya was quite dissappointed with that too (what I really want to see) ... also wondering if all the cards being released currently will be the vacum type fan? like to see what a dual fan cooler can do for ocing.

 

[straxusii]

At least the card looks cool and quiet (for a high end GPU)

 

[Marine-RX179]

Guess I'll have to wait for this to get rebadge to GTX760 in may be 6-9 months' time...since I refuse to spend around £400 on just a graphic card alone.

If they follow AMDs current strategy, they'll rebadge it as a GT760 and charge more than £400 for it...

 

[McBain]

"Comes in at an aggressive price point"

Really?

Sadly, for early adopters the price is only going up for top end graphics.

Like it or lump it, I'm afraid!

 

[RavenXXX2]

TT don't even bench the games maxed out IQ so no AA/AF, and some of the review titles are questionable in 2012, I mean farcry 2, hawx 2 and mafia 2?

 

[straxusii]

Yeah very poor selection of benchmarks, they do an AA/AF test at the end but it should be part of all the benchmarks.

 

[RavenXXX2]

Dirt 3 is at Very high and not ultra pre-set.

Seems to win comfortably. Looks like it's a great card, but only if it sells for just under £400.

 

[King Damager]

I think I'll wait until 1 for more substantial reviews tbh..

Yeah duh, you can't even buy them yet so you'll be waiting either way.
