So I would also assume water blocks and a massive OC ASAP right? :P

I expect I'll pick up some waterblocks next week.

Now some benchies......

(btw, if anyone wants to see specific benchmarks, just give me a shout and I'll do my best to accommodate).








I just thought it's worth mentioning that these cards run incredibly quiet. Throughout the benchmarks, the fans were barely audible over my water loop.


Heaven maxed @ 1920x1080 (2 cards)

Both these benches were done with 8x AA




Heaven maxed 2560x1600 (2 cards)

Ignore the min FPS. It's a glitch at the beginning of the benchmark. I couldn't seem to get round it.





BF3, Caspian Boarder, Ultra, 4xMSAA - consistently just under Vram 2GB usage.

I will test different maps as time permits.










 
Mmmm, sexy. Your trifire 580s still beat it, from your scores in the unigine engine benchmark thread. But that was overclocked and everything. Probably a driver issue with it glitching. Getting those things underwater and overclocking should prove to be insane.

Yes, you are right. Three 580's were faster. I got these for the additional Vram, mainly for BF3. However, once I get the waterblocks on them and OC them within an inch of their life, the performance should be about the same as tri SLI 580's in benchmarks. In realworld gameplay, the 680's give a much more pleasing experience. The lack of Vram on the 580's was their only downfall. Unfortuantely benchmark results don't really show this downfall.

Once EVGA bring out the 4GB Classified models, I will be making another change.

Wow, now I'm just gonna wait for a Asus ROG version of the 680 and hope I can afford it for my 18th :) otherwise, see if the 580's go down in price and might grab 2 of them

The EVGA 4GB Classified 680 will be what you want, when that comes out.

Are you thinking of putting it in the build in your sig? Because it would be severely limited by the res of that system.
 
By may either they'd be out or you'd be about a month from the 3570K, so i wouldn't get a 2500k when that's there if they cost the same or like 10 more.

I dont see why id want the Ivy though. and i might only be able to afford the 2500k

PCI-E 3.0 and higher overclocking with lower power draw.

However the 2500k is still a great chip if your budget won't stretch any further.

yeah but i still have to wait until may so prices may drop or something new might come out, idk
 
Spesh, does your motherboard have PCI-E 3.0? If not, would be interesting to see the difference between it and 2.0 when using 2 680s.
