Been waiting for this, shows the fans of the 7970 TOXIC what NVIDIA can do :D
Great review thanks. Great to see that you've picked up on the graphs and times per frames that people had asked for. I loved the 'Table of Doom' and the new info. Congrats.
Interestingly, despite the rather odd fanboy above, this actually makes the 7970 a more attractive prospect rather than less. I can have a 7970 that beats even this giant in some games for nearly 40% less of my hard earned.
Admittedly, if I was building this week, I'd get a 680, just not this one. At this price it looks plain silly.
Does it? The AMD cards both beat it in several game comparisons.Quote:

I'd say that £492 constituted £500 territory.
Just goes to show that the 2GB on the standard 670/680s is plenty for triple 1080p gaming.
Don't know why you dropped the last gen cards from the benchmarks, cards like the GTX580/570 and 6970. A lot of people own these cards and looking at you reviews gives them no indication of how much faster these newer cards are and therefore no clue if it's a worthy upgrade.
That's a good idea. It would be worth adding a couple of runs in your test rig and adding them to the Table of Doom at least. The graphs would be too cluttered though.Quote:

You can find a fuller comparison of the GTX 680 OC against a bevy of other cards in a recent review of the Gigabyte GTX 680 OC - http://hexus.net/tech/reviews/graphi...-rides/?page=3
I'd say they're fairly equal, it does fall behind on the games which nomnomnom up the vram.Quote:

Good review :)
