Kepler news and discussion

Don't know what you expected when you bash AMD on an AMD review, regardless of rather or not you are/were correct. You didn't get downvoted anymore than I would be if I posted on the GTX 680 review that Nvidia's decision to release GK104 instead of GK110 was just them deciding to play "catch up" to AMD...

Funny you say that because I made a comment about how the GK104 was originally supposed to be a mid-range chip in the article about Nvidia's Q1 profits, and got massively downvoted right away....and it's not like I was making some flaming argumentative AMD fanboy post either.

guys .. bit interface affects minimum fps ?or minimum fps depends on other parameters ?

 

[darksalvatore]

im serious .... what affects minimum fps ??

amount of shaders ? core clock ? memory clock ? bit interface ??

 

[darksalvatore]

i just though that ... minimum fps mostly depens on bit interface and core lock ... and shaders are more about maximum and average fps ... maybe im wrong ;/

 

[darksalvatore]

someone told me that bit interface has highest rank of effect on mimum fps ... that iwanted to say ...idk it is true or not

 

[RussK1]

This. It's too complex to look at any one thing and say "Aha! This will make minimum framerate good/bad."

Benchmarks exist for a reason. Use them. There's a reason that reviews (and most people deciding on a GPU purchase) rely on benchmarks (which you seem not to care about) over just posting youtube gameplay videos (which you do)...

I think you got him mixed up with someone else bro...

it seems the 570 has a lot of trouble giving smooth game play at high setting from looking at techreport's review of the 7970GE. They show frame render time and stutters during the rendering so I think their reviews are some of the best.

Well actually, I wasn't looking to replace my 670 with a single 570..If I went with the 570, I'd be getting two of them.
Pros: Fermi + Folding, 'nuff said? Also, I'll be getting the long PCB I want for my upcoming loop (Not some cut-down PCB that's even smaller than that of a 550Ti), oh, and it'll cost less than my initial decision for 670 SLI.

Cons: More power consumption (Not that I really care that much, unless an AX850 isn't enough), I can't seem to find any EVGA [Reference] models in Australia that don't cost an arm and a leg..(But guess I could just go with the Inno3D model, which is looking very nice right now), PCCG don't have Heatkiller blocks in [yet] for the 570.

Also SLI 570 ≥ SLI 480


Edit: Oh and biggest 'Pro' of all, no GPU Boost

I think my decision's going to be pretty straightforward 😉 😛

good but FULL HD is enough for me 😛

 

[akamrcrack]

I actually enjoy GPU boost.

few times and is this problem for you ? why are you so sensitive to me ? do you like me ?

 

[RussK1]

You obviously haven't seen his threads before if you think I have things mixed up... I can't even count the amount of times he's asked people to record gameplay and put it up on youtube in order to help him make a purchase decision.

What's wrong with that? I take benchmarks with a grain of salt... never really any one bench where it's neutral one way or the other. Either pro-nVidia or pro-Radeon.

I like to see gameplay myself.

 

[darksalvatore]

same here bro 😛 gamplay shows realtime fps ... not just a numbers on site ^^

 

[darksalvatore]

BigMack70

i trust people who upload videos more then sites who got paid for reviews ....

 

[darksalvatore]

BigMack70

what do you mean in word "professional " ? everyone can do benchmark on own system.. everyone is smart enough to do this ....

i cna show people on my gtx 480 ... actions with smokes explosives and places when card renders a hardest places ... when on site benchamrks for example for battlefield 3 is only one mission benchark ...

going hunting 😀 lol ..... no exposios or hard action sceses .... only rain and few ships .... yeah it's the same when you play gulf of oman with 64 palyers look at whole map with action ...

Youtube videos don't take the place of review sites. Just have to be perceptive enough to see through the smoke and mirrors.

Like I said, videos are cool but there are unsavory people that will do whatever to show they have that "Golden" Forged in Heaven card so-to-speak.

i have had people debate me that videos of game play are horrible; the frame rate is much lower (27 fps) compared to game play and that a stutter when fps drop from 60 to 45 would go unnoticed. then a bunch of gobbledygook about motion blur and a bunch of other stuff that would cover up other flaws when encoding.

i though it has some relevance but i would think you could at least tell if a configuration (CPU/GPU) would at least be playable in a certain game.

you have a a display showing your fps.

and my favorite part is 0:52 imma gonna make a compilation of all your deaths, because you die good :lol:

and sniping in black ops had a hacker too?

bad hackers! bad!

 

[akamrcrack]

So I am considering getting a 4K res monitor for my system (will be ran off of two 670s)

http://www.ebay.com/itm/320865591510?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649

Heard great things about this and very affordable compared to other 27" IPS

Would this be a good buy for my 2x 670s? 😀

Response Time: 6ms?

i thought the "golden threshold" was 2ms?
