i saw your gtx 480 in sli to :) sure it beats 680 and even 590 i think :) as i know BF3 used only 1.5 gb vram .... so you have no bottleneck even with single card and gtx 480 is good enough to ... it is a reason why gtx 570 can't run bF3 with 4x msaa :) it has better clock speed at stock but less vram ^^

then i will order GTX 670 TI i think ...it will be enough to :) hope it will not be listed above 400$ 🙁

 

There are no guarantees you won't ever drop below the 60fps mark, but the 680 gives you the best chance of any single video card out there that it won't happen.

what will be expected drop ??? like 45 fps or even less ? 🙁 radeon 7970 has 30 dips on karkand maps ... i hope it will not happen with gtx 670 or gtx 680 to ....

monsta

420$ will cost oc edition i hope ^^
 
Yes I believe so , the time difference here is confusing, think you guys get the 670 tommorow on the 10th. They have been available here for a week now, strange because we had to wait a couple weeks more than the US to get the 680.
The Gigabyte Windforce OC 670 is a monsta 😉
 
You can pretty much rely on what you see in the Tom's review of the 680:

This is single-player mode. I would say, with a single card and video in ultra mode, HBAO and AA cranked all the way around you will be sitting around 60 for the most part in multi-player. I run with two with everything cranked and my framerates run 100-130 almost continuously in multi-player. Additionally, I turn on Transparency AA in control panel which also adds some overhead. I have seen it drop into the high 70s on rare occasion and when it does, it is for a second or two.

77 fps is an average .... not min 🙁


can you disable 1 card and test single gtx 680 with 4x msaa on 1920x1080 full ultra ofc ... only turn off motion blur ... it's useless anyway ....

run just a few minutes and try to fly on the map .... best will be gulf of oman or sharqi penisuila :) most demanding maps :) i just want to know how good is gtx 680 for BF3 ... if it does not drop bewlo 45 fps when you face whole map and + explosios ... that will be great deal for me :)
 

This is why I like at least two cards. Any dips are minimized. The dips don't happen often; not even every day that I play. It's usually something that happens when it happens to everyone on the server. Shortly thereafter, the game chat will fill with 'Did that just happen to everyone?'.

There are so many factors that go into the performance of the multi-player game that have nothing to do with the graphics cards. All we can do is try to minimize anything that might cause decreases in performance. Some of it could also have to do with the server side of the multi-player game and how its getting packets to everyone's machines.

No review site reviews the multi-player aspect of any game where they can help it because of all the unknowns and unexpecteds.
 
You are worrying too much about the dips , only worry when they go below 30 fps, because thats when its noticeable.

Don't think theres going to be a 670ti , probably a 660ti to stay consistent with the last series of cards and replace the 560ti.

im sure you don't lie and even if gtx 480 oc ed can have 37 fps dips ... then how can gtx 670 has 40 ? ;/ i think if compare to gtx 480 oc performance ... gtx 670 will have minimum 47-50 dips and gtx 680 50-53 ...........
 
recon-uk thank you but don't forget show fps !!! if you don't know how to do it on fraps .. do it ingame .... type in console ! (~)

render.drawfps 1


and you will see fps :)
 
No one is trying to fool you into making a wrong choice.

We are trying to help you based on our personal experience. recon-uk showed you a video of the gameplay that looked absolutely smooth even while dipping down to 37 fps. This minimum framerate was unnoticeable in the video so it was probably for a fraction of a second depending on the polling interval of the framerate measurement software.

Personally, I like both of my 680s. Knowing they perform better than any other single-GPU card on the market should help ease your mind. There is consensus with regard to this on any given reputable review site.

sure i know bro and i trust you :) tahnk you for help really :) 680 is jsut to expensive for me and i thnik gtx 670 oc edition or normal gtx 670 will have good fps on BF3 :)

if gtx 670 never drops below 45-50 ... then no problem :) do you think that gtx 670 will drop even lower then 45 ? i don't think so but maybe im wrong :)

there is just too mcuh benchmarks site .. witch show me different numers ;/ ..... some shows that gtx 670 can have 35 dips ... some 40 ... some even 55 .... idk who trust ... so i prefer uploaded videos from nice forum users like you and recon-uk :)
 


thats very true i should have thought about that when i posted.
