Also, as long as you have good airflow I don't find coolers that don't exhaust to be a big deal. I wouldn't hesitate to have the air from the rads blowing into my case. |

Heh...I'm planning a 20 core/40 thread setup by the end of this year or early next for professional applications depending on when ivy bridge EP is released.....Gaming performance is lagging behind on actually using the hardware, and i simply refuse to wait for developers and/or publishers to get their thumbs out of their collective asses... ![]() The one good thing about it, is that i'm good for years with the 4 HD7970's at the slow ass pace games are developed to even really begin leveraging all those resources. |

I tell you right now that my GTX680 is not enough for a single 1440p display. I would be surprised to find out that four 7970s is enough for three of the very same resolution displays. |

If it was exclusively gaming, i am future proof for years but it isn't just gaming and the other applications are meant for work wich are meant as a living from wich i make money, so it's a little bit more important than playing games. Upcoming 4k displays will be made by samsung using a new process and come straight from japan, and given the novelty factor and the exchange rate with japan, cheap they won't be anytime soon....Basically don't count on them being mass produced in some chinese sweat shop so they'll be affordable to buy anytime soon... As for current games with the HD7970 setup, i keep in mind that the drivers for these cards, and the GTX680's for that matter, are very raw and will need months( if not more) to get all the kinks worked out and see their full speed, and in any case it's still a partial picture of their true capabilities since in all cases, they're benchmarked in games that were released to retail before the cards were out for developers to play with them and see what their can really do. Once software is specifically written to really take advantage of either one to their fullest potential is when we see what they can truly do, but by then there will be even faster video cards anyhow... ![]() |

I use my current setup on professional applications that already leverage all 12 cores, and only go for upgrades when there's at least a 50%+ increase in CPU performance for those applications, as those pay the bills ....Gaming is hopelessly behind, well it's their own fault as they seem to have forgotten that killer software sells hardware mantra.So don't come and tell me what i will or won't do with my system or how it performs... ![]() |

Stock I suppose so but OCed to 680 numbers I have the feeling it should have better results than it has now. Maybe nV totaly outsmarted AMD with this architecture though, who knows, the quote was mainly trying to annoy KickAssCop a bit more anyway.

I agree, have no problems with a HAF 922 and OCed Fermi, those cases push enough air and have proper air circulation speed (at least those with 20cm+ fans) for aftermarket gpu coolers.

Yeah man, got pissed off at no availability and was being told don't think about it for next 2 weeks once again. I am going to go to the market tomorrow. If I find a 680 for cheaper than 545 USD, I will buy. Otherwise 680 can choke on my nuts. It is selling for about 605 used. I paid 535 for a brand new 7970 including import duties (which I will probably get a refund on). So all in all my price would be 500 USD after shipping all the way from US of A! |

Anyways I am on the fence I am definetly thinking of getting either a Radeon HD 7970 .... or a Kepler based GTX 680 depending on the price, package and deals but I will wait just a tiny painful minute (months) more, I already got a new AMD cpu and mobo so I am getting all kinds of excited for the 2012 tech... WHo knows maybe AMD will revive the Pro or XT and Nvidia the Ultra... but more than likely by the time the dual gpu cards prolly... ![]()

No its not. Clock for clock has never been directly comparable between different video card archs anyway. You need to give the 7970 a 15% oc to match stock clocks of 680, and its still slower. and lol @ KAC

Where did it trade blows in that review? It had a 15% oc and was still slower in every test except for AvP.

http://www.hardwarecanucks.com/forum...gb-review.html The 680 won 24 game tests, while the 7970 won 29 game tests. The 7970 was even clocked lower than the 680. :| |
