Kew. I'm putting money away for Geforce Titan. So glad it't hitting with tax return.

Run benches and post em up.

just did a vantage run, mid 48K. i cant get 3Dmark11 to work :/

Top end PC, top end Futuremark product doesn't work. The irony.

 

[Sean W.]

It's the software, not the hardware. I don't think I've ever been able to get that 3dMark11 to work.

I was torn between getting a 690 and waiting for the 780. Decided to get the 690 because there is no release date yet of the 7 series. The whole reason I upgraded from my 680 was because I want to upgrade to a 1440p monitor. I plan in doing that soon, so I didn't want to wait for the titan cards.

Titan is being released this month. It isn't a 780. Although, a single 680 would have ran a 1440p monitor just fine.

To 3DMark, user error lol.

i was only getting 40fps in crysis @ 1080p with my 680. i imagine at 1440P on my 680, crysis 3 would have been running around 25fps. i understand its just a beta and they will improve the coding, but im a 60fps junkie and i know i wouldnt have been at 60fps on crysis 3 at 1440p.

 

[PP Mguire]

Then you have something wrong. I get 40fps with a 580 in Crysis 3 @ 1200p.

 

[Sean W.]

average was 40fps, at times it would hit my adaptive vsync at 60fps
