i want to know .... can i have 60+ alltime on karkand maps with gtx 680 and my i7 950 +6 gigs of ram ?

i mean ... i saw some videos when gtx 680 has 30 fps dips from high 60-100 :) is it driver error and after fixing fps will be all time 60+ ? 30 dips are horrible for gtx 680 i think... i just plan to buy it but don't know does it worth or not ;/ .... if performance will be fixed with drivers and fps will be 60 + in BF3 .. then i will buy it for sure .. if not then i will wait for maxwell ;/ ....

i saw many benchmarks on sites but there are minimum framerates like 55 or 60 ... i though that it was based on single player not mp ... but i saw even on singleplayer like 38-40 dips 🙁


so what to do ?

1 ) pick gtx 680 and wait for driverers fix and then get like 60+ (if it happens sure)
2) or don't risk and wait for maxwell ?
 
not really .... 680 has same dips on 2600k with 4.5 ghz ... i can even show you video if you don't believe me ;/ and as i said even on sp there is a 38-40 dips ... so how u can tell that it's cpu bottleneck ???? and when there is cpu or ram bottleneck , gpu usage is under 99% .... but gpu usage was alltime 99%.... so no !!! i'ts because of drivers or card for sure ...


here look .. from constant 60 ... to 32 fps :) and he has 2600 overlocked to 4.5 as i know ...

look at 5:45 :)
 
My system runs BF3 maxed out at 1920x1080 @ 60FPS 99% of the time. I am not sure where those dips are coming from, but I can say that if I were recording video I wouldnt be running at 60FPS, and also, using vsync would make me drop to 30FPS due to the nature of the feature. I framerate limit at 60FPS.

Best,

The CPU as a bottleneck is extremely unlikely.

The GTX680 is an awesome card, and IMO the best single-GPU card ever made. Even if you get occasional dips things won't stutter with Adaptive VSync enabled.

I can see waiting if there were something horrendously wrong with the card but there isn't. It's just launched, in fact supply is limited, so why wait for the NEXT generation of cards?

There will always be a better card in the future. you have to buy in sometime.

Plus, if you DO get dips below 60FPS and it is too frequent and bothers you, you can always adjust the quality to raise the frame rate.
 
yes, a gtx 680 will easily obtain 60+ fps depending on your settings. With mine, and a 2500k @ 4.3ghz, I get 80+fps no lower, on 64 player gulf of oman.
 
wait so my i7 950 bottlenecks me at stock clocks ? not sure .. then who nvidia ahs tested all gpus with i7 3.2ghz only .. even gtx 690 ;/ .... my friend has gtx 590 and he has alltime 60+ fps even with i7 870 on stock clock 2.9 ghz ;/

and i even asked before here that can i7 950 bottleneck on stock clocks gtx 680 or gtx 590 and all answered no ..... i don't understed .. you all ahve different answers now .... it's confusing ....

can you set your cpu at stock clocks ? on 2.9 ghz ? and tell me difference ? do some benchmark plz ... just few minutrs on karaknd map with 64 palyers and show me video :)
 

u must have not heard me say 2-3 fps. maybe 5 at max. its not that high if u clock a bit more.

you mean that if i OC my cpu i will get only extra 3-5 fps ya ? sorry i don't understand english perfectly :)

i don't like tearing so i have to allways set vsync on .... it seems that adaptive v sync does not work ;/ i tryed hafl refreshrate to but no difference ...
 
I'd say a 950 on stock clocks could bottleneck the game, but it wouldn't put the frames at under 60+ it would just prevent the game from reaching 100+ if the GPU were capable (which the 680 is).

 


what?! maybe at short instances but theres no way it pushes 100+ with ultra setteing even 680s sli won't reach 100+ 100 percent of the time. those dips are the most important part when your talking about performance.

if after 100 fps i wil lget 5-7 less fps on stock clocks on i7 950 then on overlocked 950 .... then ithink OC is useless :)

you mean that drivers won't impreve gtx 680 performance in battlefield 3 ya ? and i will ahve 30-40 fps dips on single 680 anyway ya ? even if i get six core cpu with 4.0ghz speed :)

i worry about dips to .... 680 can reach even 100 and more max fps but if i will get 30 fps drips ... well that terrible 🙁

 
You will never get 30 fps dips on the 680 in BF3, it runs a good solid 80 FPS with an overclock completely maxed out,the only dip if you want to call it that is when it downclocks, which is a new feature on these cards.
With the 680 you gotta tweak the fan curve and not allow it to get hotter than 70 degrees celsius, as the gpu boost will lower and downclock the speed. This is where people see a change in fps. If you adjust the fan curve and keep the temps low the card will run at full speed and never downclock. You just have to get familiar with how the card works cos of the changes with the power saving, downclocking and gpu boost that it has , its not like the previous graphics cards which do not have this feature.

Best thing to do is read what others experience with the card hands on. Look at the reviews here and it will tell you alot about the card.
You are worrying about nothing to be honest.

i don't like OC ing ... you said it has 80 when it is OC ed .... you meant auto OC or manual OC ? :/ i will not OC card manualy ... 680 is still out of stock .... i think that gtx 670 TI will be good choice to .... anyone have seen it's benchmarks ? it will be like 10-15% slower only then 680 :) as i know ...
 
monsta

wow ! sad that there is no BF3 benchmark ^^ but i think stock OC ed 670TI will be same as gtx 680 at stock clocks 😛


it's good that 680 can self overclock ^^ but i think 670 TI will be better perfoermance/price ^^ i have now single gtx 560 ti 1gb version and i think upgrading to 670 TI or gtx 680 will be good ....
 
Its a really good idea to go with the 670, the price for its performance is excellent , and is 100 dollars cheaper than a 680.
Sell your 560ti and grab a 670, it will be worth it, and later on if you like you can always get another 670 and SLI.
I uprgraded from a 560ti SLI to 680 , its much smoother , to be honest it was the 560ti SLI that suffered the dips in fps.
 
I had an i7-960 running at stock with 2 GTX 580s. These two cards in SLI outperform a single 680 and the i7-9xx series processors will not be a bottleneck.

During BF3 multiplayer, both 580s would regularly reach the high 90%s GPU load. There is no bottleneck with a stock i7-950 unless you're running some low resolution or some older title that is less than capable of passing the graphics load onto the GPUs.

The processor, the VRAM, or anything else with the X58 architecture are not going to bottleneck your performance with a 680.

In the video you saw, there was probably something else software-related going on with the person's PC causing the large framerate drops.

anything you said seems realistic :) if on gtx 580 sli it was like 90% gpu usege then on gtx 680 or even on gtx 590 there will be 100% for sure :) so you all guys agree that with my system + gtx 680 or gtx 670 TI ... i will have smooth multipalyer gampelay on battlefield 3 yes ? even on karkand maps with 64 palyers :) it will never drop below 60 fps ya ? even if it will have like 50 fps dips on ctitical sitations .. it's not a problem :) i will not notice it im sure
