Interesting. I think this is where the early speculations of PhysX magic hardware came from. When you see a supposedly 300$ gaming card doing PhysX twice as fast than previous flagship and you *don't know* about changes in the architecture I guess it's easy to conclude there is some secret sauce...

Looks like part of the money went into PhysX: http://physxinfo.com/news/8293/mech-shooter-hawken-will-feature-gpu-physx-support/ Particle effects and environment destruciton, nice! http://www.playhawken.com/ - only 226 days left. :p

No need to guess, Kaotik posted some GPGPU benchmarks over in the 7970 thread, that includes results from a bitcoin miner: http://muropaketti.com/artikkelit/naytonohjaimet/gpgpu-suorituskyky-amd-vs-nvidia,2 (2nd benchmark) It isn't on "absolute stink" level, but still disappointing. If GK110...

Rosberg never had to run in traffic, plus they got the tyres in the optimum working range according to Brawn, so it all worked out for him. Kimi got to learn how Pirellis can be. I was quite astounded when I saw he ir running Softs on the last stint. What were they thinking? For Bahrain, I...

Take a deep breath and count to ten. . . . . . . . . . . Finished? Then read on. I wasn't protecting anyone's interest, just concluding AMD doesn't have anything up its sleeve and all is left is to drop prices. So what if nV has the majority of discrete? AMD still has the majority of DX11...

I was refering to this: http://forum.beyond3d.com/showpost.php?p=1607915&postcount=1848 and wondered if everything that was to be learned is already extracted and only game specific optimisations are left. Usualy not since they don't account for much. But with two cards going almost head to...

So there is no more significant performance gains to be found in the drivers after all and competition has to be done on price now?

How about thinking twice, before you elevate the discussion with such elaborate phrases? 1. CPU Boost has guaranteed values for all chips and doesn't boost further, there is no lottery here. 2. CPU Boost can be turned off. CPU Boost has no relevance to what nVidia is doing, other than the...

Now that is what I call an entertaining race! We'll be wondering how Alonso did win that for a while. Great stuff from Perez and Senna too!

The Jury will have to wait till bigK arrives I guess...

Could be enough, if they can add a Boost on top of that. This could be doable with current hardware, but with new Bios. (or not?)

Whoa, really suprised Kepler can keep that well at higher resolutions, didn't expect it to win some multimonitor tests. :shock: But it is now clear where the efficiency gains come from. They took a step back and went for static scheduling.... so what is going to be next in the quest for...

You call THG "respectable"? How about [H]ardOCP? : http://hardforum.com/showpost.php?p=1038515632&postcount=134 http://hardforum.com/showpost.php?p=1038515505&postcount=124 So basicly, if you play at 1080p, the GTX680 will be a really good deal...

DOUBLE CONFIRMED truth! And Barts it VLIW4 too, maths don't lie. :razz: Come on , this is nVidia. If it is priced lower, then it is *NOT* faster than a 7970. So AMD doesn't have to drop prices. :(
