how can this be all stock default clock is 1084, this card runs at 1109 and also a little higher on the mem, so that's no stock.
Sorry that I beat your score by 40 point
Because I have the FTW version, so it came overclocked. These are the stock settings on the FTW version of the 680 that I have. I actually have not overclocked this card at all I dont think. Havent really had the need to.
Even so, Im not sure that the whole 25mhz overclock is really significant on this card. I got it for the 4GB and when I bought it they did not have a standard 4GB version available.
Your also running a much overclocked more efficient processor than I am along with having higher clocks on the video card. So with that said, I am not impressed by your extra 4FPS
EDIT: Looking at that 280x, it looks like it scales almost perfectly in performance with my 680 despite its higher memory bandwidth.
I can tell you that I had the ftw also, and its default clock speed is 1085 on the core, and not 1110 like yours, I now about the different cpu, but I can tell you that in valley the cpu doesn't do much, I can run on 4.5 and have still the same points.
so if I put my card on 1100 on the core then I have less on the core then yours, not saying that the gtx 680 isn't a great card.
but I shell put it on 1085, and 1515 on the mem.
and like you say in the 2013 benchmark the boost speed of the 680 is higher then 1175, it runs over the 1200 so technically that's what your gpu should have been under load
lol, haha but start valley and look at the top right corner you see white letters and numbers when benchmarking, there it will say what the core speed is under load.
it will be higher then the core boost showen in gpu-z
MSI Afterburner has my speeds at 1241 core and 3055 memory (which would be 1527).
The top right was displaying 1330 core and 3055 memory. I dont think the benchmark is accurately displaying the speeds as they do not change.
So then its running over its boost clock... I think there isnt a real way to determine what our nvidia GPUs should be running at once we overclock them unless we turn boost off. It seems that even the evga precision overclocking is completely off as it has my boost speed below 1200mhz.
Looks like MSI Afterburner or other monitoring programs are the only way to know without turning boost off.
You're right. Benchmark on top left is never accurately.
In fact, I would choose EVGA or Gigabyte for better benchmark.
