It's because they include 5970 and 6990. I think the 590 and 6990 trade blows?
I've no idea what they say I was just responding to xsistor's post.
The same logic applies though.
If they choose to define the fastest card as the card with the highest stock clock speed GPU then they'd be correct.
They changed after the Internet LOLed. It said fastest GPU soon after the 7970 release.
Here's the evidence:

That's meaningless. NVIDA could make the same claim on its shader clocks

Yes
(in comparison to using all the elements at the higher clock frequency)
Sorry, I actually worded that badly, I meant in comparison to less elements used at a higher clock, if you follow
I didn't say it was meaningful just that if that's how they define it then it's technically correct.

That is quite funny.
It would be hard to say. Something to be both simulated on their designs and then tested experimentally to verify. It could go both ways. It will probably also vary with application.
If I were to guess I'd imagine the sweet spot is a compromise between number of elements active and moderate clocks.
They must have changed it back again.
Yeah I saw that a few weeks back. They must've got wind of the fact that people laughed at it and changed it.
I think I was half expecting that answer, the question was a little unfair, but cheers anyway
Just a thought, I see that the GTX680 has two SLI fingers for tri/quad SLI. Now we know that the GK104 was the midrange chip design, but normally the midrange cards only do SLI not tri/quad SLI. So Nvidia must have known quiet early on that they were heading for more than a 560 midrange class card. Just a thought.
I doubt Nvidia is allowing any benchmarks on purpose, once Tom's had shown those there was absolutely nothing Nvidia could do to hide them, they were immediately spread. I saw the xs admin pulled all links but that is like p***g in the wind.
