NVIDIA Kepler speculation thread

Very good!

With updated driver?

So how does this compare to the other GPUs now?

^^ finally proper drivers, 1006/6008MHz and boost tab instead of shader clock 1059MHz, DirectX 11.1?

I can run them; I didn't say I would. Too many people are going to be all "blah blah i don't believe you they're fake!" I just had to step in here and set the terrifying results from the OP straight. They are bogus. Just wait for launch. It's not far away.

Batman AC: 4x MSAA, 16xAF, Global Settings on very high, PhysX off (to compare to AMD)
112 FPS at 1300/6500 on 1920x1080.

So, can this "boost clock" be adjusted, or all the overclocking will go only through the offset value? Maybe the power limit has to do something with it?

 

[psurge]

If true, the min FPS jump is pretty impressive (close to 3x). Does anyone know which part of the GPU is stressed the most in that situation?

That EVGA app is sexy... But holy DAMN do I hate waiting! Might have to become an NV fanboy this round after all...

I think it's the domain shader stage -- it gets "overrun" by the fresh geometry data from the tessellation stage. Primitive setup should not be of a particular concern here.
The reason for this boost may be in both the increased compute throughput per SM or better management of the local data share (for the domain shader), especially with such high level of tessellation. Still there are a lot of unknowns around the new "Polymorph Engine 2.0".

Innovation that changes the rules of the game.

New NVIDIA architecture.

For those of you who might have been wondering.

It shows the gtx680 being 45% faster!

 

[Kaotik]

It shows the gtx680 being 37% faster!

Switch tessellation to less ridicilous setting and the difference will probably be quite a bit smaller
(even at normal setting heaven is probably even worse than crysis 2 & concrete slab tessellation)

merci pour l'entrée :smile:

[strike]how on earth you find 37? it's %45.1851851815 on average[/strike] who cares heaven give some game benchmarks :smile: if his batman ac result is any truth it's actually slower than 7970

Min FPS get halved when running a 2C CPU:

The rest of Min FPS increase seems to be inline with AVG FPS increase.

I'm retarded, that's how. Here is Batman AC. GK104 is faster there too.

GTX680: Overclocks at 1300/6500

112 FPS at 1300/6500 on 1920x1080.

MSI Lightning 7970 @ 1265mhz core
Batman AC FXAA max settings 1080p: 130 average, 54 minimum

Conclusion: The OC'd gtx680 is faster using 4x MSAA in Batman AC than the OC'd hd7970 is using FXAA with all other settings equal!

Is windowed Heaven bench same as fullscreen?

Very high settings are DX9. While max (extreme) settings are DX11. So you can't really compare.

My 580 (stock clocks) does 47.6fps. Fullscreen, though. I don't know if windowed would be faster or slower.
That is 65% faster.

Is that at 1600x900 resolution?

 

[boxleitnerb]

Yes, same settings. Also 3.0 Basic Edition.
