Speed up your fan when overclocking and benching, apparently 70c and above will limit the max clocks.

Thinking of ordering one but can't decide on EVGA or a Gigabyte. GB has UK RMA but most people seem to want a EVGA!!!

Not me, I just sold my 580 and got a 6970.
Well after tonight's testing.
I can safely say I'm glad I dropped my unlocked 6950's xfire for a single 680.
I spent only a hour messing with the overclock and managed to get very nice results and was already gaming
and on top of that I have buyers for my 6950's

Not sure if serious.
Why?
Because I had a 580 which I bought second hand so had no warranty,
So I sold it for £270.
And bought a brand new gigabyte windforce 6970 for £200 with Deus Ex included, thought it was a decent price and I like to know that if it screws up i'll be covered with a warranty. Plus £200 is pretty good value for the performance. - I probably wont even notice a difference between the two.
I've almost managed to change from a 955 x4 phenom, crosshair III mobo and a 580 to a 2500k Gigabyte Ud4 and 6970 and not really spending a thing, just got to wait for it to arrive now.

£200 sounds like a great price

There should be no stutter unless you have low fps. Micro-stutter usually only affects multi gpu setups.

No stutter here on BF3 with one 680

also no stutter as reported. Very impressed with card.

Same - I've not overclocked it yet and to be honest, I'm not interested in benchmarks more than real game performance.
It didn't drop under 60 FPS on BF3 with max settings (true maximum!) that I could tell. Was most the time hovering around 80-90 so I expect to get a little higher with some overclocking.

Ordered 2 of these and also 2 7950s and struggling to decide which order to cancel. The 7950s are about £120 less and should perform more or less the same at my res (1440P) but I do find nVidia's software to be much more to my liking. Tough call!
