Although a new reviewer is bound to make several mistakes i too fail to see the reason for this review/comparison. Perhaps if it was released when it should (a long time ago) it would make some sense, now it just doesn't (or at least i can't see it). Good try nevertheless so good luck to your...

This should be at around 80Euros.

No it's not a rebranded mouse, i was just talking about the many similarities...And considering it got released just a few months after the Hellion perhaps that's not a coincidence.

The lines are pretty much the same, so are some of the parts. I didn't say they copy-pasted it but the similarities are vast.

Is it me or did they copy the Leetgion Hellion ?

Because to my knowledge the 6xxx series are not produced any more and when you have "cash" issues your priority is to boost sales of current models.

It's very easy to setup drivers to use reduced IQ settings with a specific line of cards since they only pass specific files and registry components so i don't know why you think that's hard. Naturally they want to boost 7xxx sales and not 6xxx and 5xxx. That aside noone who rushes to release a...

Cowie is saying the same thing i am. Last time we saw "large" performance gains from new AMD drivers they had changed the entire IQ (Image Quality) structure of the drives so they favored speed by reducing IQ with the default settings. Later on they did admit doing so (after word got spread) and...

Congrats on AMD for this but personally i will wait to see what they cut off this time....Usually it takes sometime before the ones that really dig such things up come with the answer.

Did you even read what i said ? Really ? I don't see you saying something else. The GTX 6xx is worse in compute power than the GTX 5xx series so what ? Up until today NV has been better in Tessellation from AMD, noone can deny that, sure one day AMD May take the lead, again so what ? You can't...

You do realize that the "comparison" you are showing here is flawed in many ways right ? 1st I doubt they used the latest drivers for the GTX5xx series, naturally that is since there's no way they still have the samples and even if they did it would take too much time to do benchmarks all over...

Well i have yet to see a full comparison including the latest GTX 6xx / 7xxx series in terms of compute power but last time i checked it myself the GTX 570/580/590 wiped the floor with the HD 6xxx series so i think they would also do the same with the 7xxx series, unless AMD managed to increase...

You can never compare different architectures just by looking at the specifications sheet. It's like when someone compares GPU clocks and thinks they matter. As for compute power i said it before, you can purchase a prev. generation with more power compared to the new gen cards by both camps.

It's a reference OCed edition. If you are so concerned about custom coolers go ahead and compare it to the link you gave of the EVGA SC which is also a reference OCed GTX 680. It's still a no-win situation performance-wise and the reference cooler of the GTX 680 is still a lot quieter. Like i...

Well if you use DIRT for example and generally games that are "sponsored" by either camp yes but generally with "neutral" games NV is slightly faster. That's also why AMD rushed to release the GHz edition, let's not forget that.
