switching from the red team to the green team

[PP Mguire]

I was talking about your case. The stock fans in the 600t aren't the greatest.

 

[Sean W.]

yea, they are alright, big, slow and quiet.

basically the opposite of how i like my women

 

[PP Mguire]

I really don't mind quiet women lol.

so i got the card... what an absolute BEAST, im running battlefield 3 at absolute max everything at about 60fps, average... lowest ive seen was 52 and highest was around 86... just incredible... these are the offical benchmarks and comparisons i took before i changed the cards out, i couldnt get BF3 to work with my cards, so thats why it isnt included, its also the biggest reason i switched to the 680...

but this is what ive experienced...

Benchmarks:

Farcry 3:
6970CF
Average FPS: 40fps
max system dba: 56dba

680
average FPS: 72fps
max system dba: 44

Crysis 2:
6970CF
Average FPS 45
max dba: 55dba
GTX680
Average FPS 90
max dba: 43dba


CPU & GPU temps, Crysis 2 roadrage map full play through

ambient: 20°
6970cf
cpu average idle: 50.5° ( 30.5° delta )
cpu average load: 77° ( 57° delta )
6970cf
GPU idle: 52° ( 32° delta )
GPU load: 68° ( 48° delta )

680
cpu average idle 43.5°(23.5° delta )
cpu average load 70.5 (50.5° delta )

You get about the same average that I do with a 580.

By the way, you put in the OP 6950, and in that post 6970.

 

[Sean W.]

they were unlcoked 6950s

Ok that makes more sense.
