rumor altert!! gk104 results surface barely better than 7970

im not listing my source nor am i listing comparison 7970 results but im going to say that most time the gk104 is wlel under 10% better than a 7970 if you believe the results..

testbed is not listed but here we go, all results taken @ 1080p:

3dm11 (extreme) X3001

stalker CoP (dx11 no AA pass 1) 166fps

stalker CoP (dx11 AAx4 pass 1) 114fps

stalker CoP (dx11 no AA pass 2) 112fps

stalker CoP (dx11 AAx4 pass 2) 77fps

bf3 (no aa) 101fps

bf3(x4 aa) 73fps

codmw3 (no aa) 368fps

codmw3 (aa x4)241 fps

civ V (no aa) 275 fps

civ V (x4 aa) 192fps

dirt 3 (dx11 no aa) 121 fps

dirt 3 (dx11 x4 aa) 106fps

JC2 (no aa) 146fps

JC2 (x4 aa) 127 fps

This is the GTX 600 serie,right?MonsieurX

I'd choose not to ride the rumor train

well since you don't have a source then I won't believe it BUT i won't be suprised at ALL if its true....historically with generation jumps the flagship is about 10-15% stronger than the previous flagship card. Nvidia DID say they're offering a card for $650...the gtx 680 and I don't doubt that it will be faster than the 7970, but it seems to me that nvidia is just trying to release a card thats the best on the market without really thinking too much about the price tag. Im sure AMD could release a card at that price that is SIMILAR in performance, but they're not overly concerned with that....the gtx 680 is only going to target the 0.01% market of discrete video card sales. The real battle will be at the $400 and below price tag. Thats where the 7970 will sit at come April when nvidia releases their 6xx series....will nvidia be able to handle the heat is the question... Either way it doesn't look like nvidia will be making much of a profit this time around.

Sourceless results (that don't even include comparative data from an already-released competitor despite stating a ~10% performance difference between the two) for an unspecified GPU?

SOUNDS LEGIT.

hmm im not too sure but I saw someone post that info a while back. Prices are high right now since AMD doesn't have any competition from nvidia, but once the 6xx series drops, AMD will probably drop prices and nvidia will follow up and also drop prices (maybe a month or two down the line)

if you would like to see the results someone hastily drafted up using what appears to be either bad paintshop pro or good ms paint work.. i happily will

I want 2 of them babies.=3

Well guys I have been following IonysX for a while now, from his AMD bulldozer posts to his leave induced by Intel.

I take whatever he says more seriously than anyone else.

I wouldn't be surprised if Nvidia released a GPU 10% weaker than the 7970, I'm actually expecting it. It's been this way since the 5850, back then AMD had 2 GPU's topping Nvidia's best GPU. Not something that happens everyday.

I've been wishing for some major change like with the introduction of the 8800GTX. But I doubt we will see that since there doesn't seem to be any new tech advancements comparable to the introduction of unified shaders. RyviusARC

I've had this on my mind for a while, I feel like they could give us more, but don't out of fear of hitting a wall.

Link to the article that this info MAY have come from.

The funny thing is i remember reading a few months ago that the GTX 680 was only going to have like 1024 Stream processors. this small upgrade if true makes me happy.

I also saw alot of people saying that Nvidia is completely skipping 6xx and going straight to 7xx for the name/number although i never figured out where that rumor came from.

How is that a small upgrade if the current 580 has 512?
