FRONTPAGE NVIDIA GEFORCE GTX 780 Graphics Card Review

well. nothing on the internet is worth trusting 80%+,
this goes to ALL sites, not just specific ones.
I run a lab in Japan, so I know that all too well. hahahaha.
Very often, and I mean VERY often, sites have what we can 'sponsoring biased'.
I guess it is self-explanatory. And you will never know 'for sure'.
I am a firm believer of 'test it yourself, and draw your own conclusions'.
and I only trust sites where I 'met' the people, and I know their results are justified enough.
For the rest: don't pick some on the internet as correct, and some as incorrect.
cause you do not know until YOU did the test, and picking one over the other, is at times, a 'Hypocritical' thing to do.
cause you are accusing others of doing exactly what you are doing. heh.
Things on the internet?
Just a reference point.

I had one of their 550Ti models before this Asus card, and I could OC the crap out of it!
But I had a buyer for my card and got a deal on the one I have now.

I pointed out a single review that is inconsistent from a list of other popular review sites.
I'm not cherry picking 1 review or one game bench.
ED already cleared up the frequency at which they updated their numbers.
I don't see any harm in asking the question.
As far as testing it yourself.
I owned a 670 (1280 boost on core) fyi, I was very happy with it, and I'm very happy with my 7970s.

Albeit that the HD 7970 used here is an uberified GHZ edition, the benchmarks display the performance gap between the AMD card and a GTX 680. It is likely that a superclocked GTX 680 would perform up to par with or better than the HD 7970, as displayed in this review. However, it looks like the AMD card has a definitive win in Battlefield 3.

I trust our benches. Look at my post above.

For the GTX780 SC ACX review, I re-benched my GTX 680 using the newest drivers available at the time, 314.22, and I used the data from EarthDog's most recent review for the HD7970. The following are the clocks the GPUs were running at during testing and the drivers used:
EVGA GTX 680 (Reference)
Driver: 314.22
Core: 1084 MHz
VRAM: 1502 MHz
Reference GTX680 cost: ~$450
MSI HD 7970 TFIII OC BE
Driver: 13.4
Core: 1050 MHz
VRAM: 1375 MHz
Price: $400

With the Classified, and I guess this is what he was getting at(??)... its more than just increased clock speeds. With PAST Nvidia implmentations, they have voltage read points, MUCH better PCB/power bits, etc. Its, usually, a lot more than clockspeeds.

Well, I learned something today!

That's what I meant. I didn't know about the previous classifieds. I'm also wondering if there is any speculation as to whether EVGA will try to circumvent Nvidia's locking down of the voltages.
