There are a host of new features included on Kepler, starting with the addition of being able to support more than two displays. The new Kepler GPU balances things out in a way that previously only AMD had the will to do and we found that with features like GPU Boost, the GTX 680 can balance power consumption with performance across a wide range of games efficiently. NVIDIA has usually had the fastest single-GPU option going back to the days of the GTX 285, GTX 480 and GTX 580, but they always had the caveat of being hot and power hungry. What is maybe even more impressive and more surprising, is that NVIDIA was able to do this while actually using less power than the Radeon HD 7970 3GB card under a peak load.
Both 3DMark11 and Unigine Heaven 2.5 show the same results – NVIDIA’s new GTX 680 is just a faster card than AMD’s Tahiti. Now we of course don’t test every game PC users want to see, but I really think this collection of titles is indicative of overall performance. If you just want to use a scoreboard system, that is a 4-to-1 win for NVIDIA in our suite of 6 games. The two offerings were pretty much a toss-up in Deus Ex and the AMD card came out ahead of the NVIDIA card in Metro 2033. In my testing, the GTX 680 2GB card was able to beat AMD’s flagship single-GPU card in Battlefield 3, Skyrim, DiRT 3 and Batman: Arkham City. I expected the GeForce GTX 680 to be faster than the Radeon HD 7970 from AMD but I honestly didn’t expect it to perform THIS WELL right out of the gate. Power Consumption, Temperatures and Noise.GPU Testbed – Sandy Bridge-E, X79, New Games.The wait is finally over as we have our review of the brand new GTX 680 card from NVIDIA!!.
