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

    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?

    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?

    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".

    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)

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

    GTX680: Overclocks at 1300/6500
    Batman AC: 4x MSAA, 16xAF, Global Settings on very high, PhysX off (to compare to AMD)
    112 FPS at 1300/6500 on 1920x1080.

    http://www.hardwareheaven.com/revie...-graphics-card-review-batman-arkham-city.html
    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!

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