Hmmmm My 3Dmark11 scores: Performance: Graphics Score 15722 Physics Score: 938 Extreme: Graphics Score 6496 Physics Score: 934 Well, my CPU score is pretty terrible.

Thanks for the replies. I was trying to run 3Dmark11 at extreme at 1080 (it doesn't currently support 2560x) and it always crashes on the CPU tests. Could be a driver issue though. If performance % won't go up substantially I think I'll hold off on anymore upgrades and wait for the next gen...

Hey guys, I had a quick question. So, I've done a lot of work on my PC over this past year, and currently I have: CPU: i5 2320 (3.0ghz 3.3ghz Turbo Boost) GPU: GTX 680 2gb (SLI) Ram: 8gb Mobo: Gigabyte Z68A-D3H-B3 Z68 (Chipset) LGA 1155 Monitor: 2560x1440p + 2560x1080 (I don't use these...

I'm sure this has been asked to death, and I apologize if it has. I actually looked all over, and can't find the answer. Maybe I'm just a bit too flustered. But anywho, my GPU usage is showing one of my cards always stuck at 50% whereas the other one is 99%. I just got my 2nd GTX 680 today, and...

So, I decided to get a second GTX 680 2gb to SLI, and was wondering about the SLI bridge. As you all know, Nvidia cards don't come with SLI connectors, those usually come with the mobos. So I'm having to order mine online. Here is the GTX 680's I'm SLI(ing)...

Interesting thread. I was considering upgrading my current GTX 680 2gb to a 690 or sli 680 4 gb. But these AMD cards are so tempting at the price range. My only issue with AMD (in the past), was the drivers. When I moved over to Nvidia, I found the driver updates were a lot more on the ball...

I'm sort of confused. Whenever I look at benchmarks, the GTX 690 has much better FPS than a GTX 680 4gb or 2gb model. Only the sli version of those models outperform the 690. So why is everyone saying the 690 is not worth buying? If someone has the monitor for 120hz, then isn't it worth it to...

Okay guys, thanks a lot. I'll just have to decide if it's worth doing a GTX 680 SLI 2gb. I kind of wish I had just gotten the 4gb model, that way buying a 2nd one now wouldn't cost so much. But alas, I have a 2gb. So I'll have to see what the 2gb SLi performance bump is. But I'll probably just...

Wow, thanks for the advice guys. You guys really cleared things up for me. Since I have you guys here, I'm going to list my specs real quick, just to see if there is any weak link in my setup. Motherboard: Gigabyte: GA-Z68A-D3H-B3...

Alright for memory usage, it shows my MAX being at 1149 MB (that's total since I've had it on all day). Right now for Sleeping Dogs, it's staying at around a steady 800mb and the FPS is 70-80 FPS with everything max, and the high res pack. So it looks like my memory on my GPU side is fine. So...
