GeForce GTX 680 Up To 40% Faster Than Radeon HD 7970: NVIDIA

GPU vendors tend to give out their own performance figures of the products they're launching, compared to competitors' products. In one such comparison, allegedly of the GeForce GTX 680, doing rounds on the internet, NVIDIA's new GPU was evaluated by its makers be be over 40% faster than the Radeon HD 7970 in some tests. Keeping Radeon HD 7970 as a baseline, NVIDIA presented its performance figures for the GeForce GTX 680's leads over it, and Radeon HD 7950's trails under it. Results of as many as 15 tests were presented, from 7 games/benchmarks. All benchmarks were run with and without AA. The one test that caught the eye is Battlefield 3 with "4xAA". Experts we spoke to think NVIDIA could be using FXAA algorithm. In any case, NVIDIA looks to be confident of taking back the fastest-GPU crown from AMD.

beck24read the whole article: Graphics division 51 million. Thats all Ive been comparing
Um.
For Q4 2011 AMD’s graphics division had 382M in revenue and $27M in operating income, versus $424M revenue and $68M operating income the year before. On a yearly basis AMD booked $1.56B in revenue and $51M in operating income, compared to $1.66B and $149M respectively for 2010.

Operating Income $27M

Please, don't humiliate yourself more with this.
He is mistaking revenue for profit.

Yeah, can a moderator force this back on topic please? I've just wasted two pages worth of my life reading pedantic shite about financials thaht ARE NOT what the thread is about.

Stop bickering like little bitches and talk about how much the 680 is gonna (almost nearly) pwn the 7970 but only in select circumstances and wont really be worth the premium. So shoulda bought that LCS 7970 when it was on offer.... doh!

Anyhow. Anyone else notice that the NDA doesn't end until a week before the end of the quarter? Or am I the only one who notices things like that?

Stay on target TOPIC!

*In case any of you missed the point. The topic is Nvidia GTX 680 performance over the 7 series.

Thanks.

This is pointless. Doesn't matter how fast the card is, if they don't provide forced FXAA from the NVIDIA Control Panel just like AMD's MLAA then good bye nvidia. I still play a lot of relatively older games that don't have AA option from the menu, and also forcing AA from drivers doesn't work, EXCEPT MLAA. So as long as I have MLAA from the control panel, nvidia is NOT an option right now...

If I recall wasn't there a lightweight application for Nvidia cards you could download to force FXAA on? Someone more versed on the topic can probably shed some light, but I'm pretty sure it does exist.

Press releases faked to look like valid performance charts are nothing new. Seldom does the hype correlate with reality. Both AMD and Nvidia are guilty of this.

Yup. AMD pulled the same BS before the release of the 7970. If the charts were to be believed the card should have been +2 times more powerful than the GTX580. Anyways... still waiting for the price drops on the 7 series.
