***Official GTX 670 thread***

Ive noticed with my wf, when i first got it. Setting core boost to +130 resulted in a clockspeed of 1320mhz, now when i set the same speed it only reads at 1306mhz when running benchmarks. Also noticed that ASIC quality is now reading as 86%, when i got it it read at 100%.

A driver update a while ago did that.

Thanks for the heads up on that Jayster, wasnt even aware of that tbh.

I think it was somewhere around 306 or 307 drivers, mine ended up dropping about 10Mhz

Tbh, i only really noticed it today when running firestrike. I have afterburner running in game on screen, but never pay it much attention.

I re-ran Heaven 2.5 on my EVGA 670, slightly overclocked as my EVGA 570 was...
With the exact same settings on Heaven of course

50.2fps > 80.1fps

Quite a big performance gain there!

Im still to this very day getting bad stutter in BF3.

Driver 314.22, terrible with adaptive vsync on, when I turn it off, it improves, but it's as if the card needs to slowly ramp up the clock speeds first...

Only game my 670 misbehaves in...

Surely with my rig, it should handle BF3 smooth at 1200p?

My bf3 is fine. I use normal v synch in nv control panel and no v synch in the game menu, its the only way it feels smooth to me. 314.07 i am using.

Hmm, noted. But one ofthe reasons why I bought my 670 was becuase I liked the idea of adaptive vysnc.

I can set adaptive vysnc bloabal and then set the bf3 exe to use none or regular vysnc?

 

[opethdisciple]

Latest beta drivers seem good so far. (320.00) However did get missing textures on one map in BF3.

Also just to mention there is a new bios posted for the Gigabyte WF 670.

Double post!

Try adding the following line into your BF3 user config.

gametime.maxvariablefps 59

Fixed my 680 stuttering (since I'm now on 120hz monitor I have it at 119), it used to drive me crazy!
