Since I'm spilling some beans here and there I decided to open up a thread here in which I'll be posting some results from the small review that I am preparing for the 680 ( under 120 pages hopefully ).

For the time being I only have completed measurements from a GTX 580 ( MSI Twin Frozr II OC @ 800MHz GPU - 1024MHz MEM ( GDDR5-4096 ) and some from the GTX 680.
I'm testing everything, 1080p, 2048x1536, 5760x1080 ( nV Surround ), etc and I'll add a HD7970 too.

Mind-boggling amount Games & benchmarks incoming

off to an impressive start for the 680

DiRT 3 Benchmark:

GTX580@800MHz - 4096MEM = min 64.76fps - avg 76.71fps
GTX680 Stock = min 86.65 - avg 107.02

33.8% higher min fps
39.5% higher avg fps

Cool bro, now lets see what it can do for BF3 ..............

I'm guessing the relationship will remain pretty much the same. Should be interesting when the Lightning version comes out

Now

Same like the above tests, 1920x1080 4xAA 4xTrSSAA 16xAF
All game settings at Max ( Ultra ) except PostAA which is set to Medium ( high and ultra blurs the image quite a lot due to the nature of FXAA )

GTX 580 @ 800MHz - GDDR5-4096 = min 29fps - avg 43.349fps - max = 66.666fps
GTX 680 @ Stock = min 44.333fps - avg 58.613fps - max = 91fps

52.8% higher minimum FPS
35.2% higher average FPS
36.5% higher max FPS

Such a marked improvement in performance, crazy.

Thanks BZ, so now there is a single card solution for BF3 with eye candy on .....

Makes you wonder what the GTX780 will do .........

That's the one I'm gonna wait for
