Not true about 770 . Ya same GPU. However I ran it for 3 days on my rig. Same res 3 monitors I was able run iRacing max graphics all maxed out lock at 60 fps No stutters. Then I shipped it back because I seen a 780ti for same price as my 770. After getting my money back I ended using for parts for my track bike . cbr 954RR

The boost clock was higher then 680 and clock offset . I'm telling u from expierience. I couldn't believe it my self that another 2 gig card I can run same game at max w no issues

again. its the same GPU, doesnt matter if the clocks are different or not. The only other thing is different memory used that can handle the 7ghz memory clock over the 6ghz memory clock the the 680. Plus maybe some memory controller tweaks.

Got it just watch YouTube video. So at my current setup w all graphics on high iRacing is using 980mb vram and 1100 Ram. So how come then I get stutters. This is on high setup. I can run game on low setting AA on 2x Antistrofic filter on 4c and used 570 vram. So I have 2 gig vram that should be enough even max out. But I get stutters or not stable.

Not really sure, but you have that GPU paired with an awfully old CPU and platform.

What FPS are you getting. The stuttering could just be tearing.

atanas dimitrov · Nov 14, 2015

It could be testing. I don't know difference. It just like stutters. 50fps. I'm always over 50 but it tears I guess.

Hi,
your system is a bit slow for surround/eyefinity gaming with 3 monitors. Maybe old games run good on that hardware, but newer ones probably not. You could buy another 680 for SLI, to have more perf, to play on 3 monitors. But I'd upgrade the entire system, CPU is a bit old too. It's better to upgrade everything, you'd circumvent a problematic SLI system.

atanas dimitrov · Nov 14, 2015

Yes it's better to upgrade all. Of I had the money. I just spent over 1500 in a driving SIM excluding the pc. . wheel pedals shifter and rig. Plus pc and and a monitor.
I just try to lower the res to 3480x780 and I can play game on high graphic at 60 fps No tearing. I also try it on lowest surround res 3048x740 and its even better as far as performance. It's actually better at that res w AA in 16x and filters 8x

That's because you're not capping the vram with those resolutions..

Again, the 680 and the 770 are 99% the same card. If you want to play your games at max settings, get a full upgrade and a GPU with a minimum of 4gb vram, like a GTX 980.

atanas dimitrov · Nov 14, 2015

But even on 3840x1080 w med setting iracing is using only 1260 vmem and 1400 Ram. Which is still under 2000. But it is stuttering or tearing

Shh, sshhhh my child. Listen closely.

On medium settings your GPU simply sucks on the power it can put out. When you're able to play on higher settings the vram caps out. You must find a balance within yourself to play with bootiful graphics.

GTX980 or a R9390 will release your soul.

Or two GTX770 4GB's.

IIRC old CPUs can do that to you. In benchmarks at high resolutions, average frame rate appears to be identical for old and new CPUs, but I'm thinking that your old Q9650? is really choking on this game.

Honestly, if you spent 1500 on a racing setup while only spending 350 on a PC, you should probably be prepared to face the performance consequences. Now would be a good time to upgrade your platform; the GTX 680 can still hold out for a while, but if you're running such demanding games, a Q9650 probably isn't the best candidate for your main PC.

How is SLI of a 680 going to help him? He doesn't have enough VRAM now as it is for that rez, and 2 GPU's will still only give him 2GB total.

got confused... i was thinking op has this one:

Wrong, if hes monitoring vram and its not maxing out on usage, its not a VRAM problem. I really think the GPU is hamstrung by the CPU in his system for the specific titles hes trying to play. But he also needs to realize that just because vram isn't being used to its max, doesn't mean the performance won't be bad either. There is a lot going on with a GPU than just the memory, as with most pieces of hardware.

So this morning I set the resolution on 3040x740 and have game max out even shades on dynamic track and objects on. Also AA 16x and A filtering is 8x. I'm stable at 60fps

Well there is one thing that is totally unnecessary. 16x AA. pointless. You do not need more than 4x. AF should be at 16x.

Got it. Can any1 explain difference between tearing and stuttering. I try to Google but couldn't get much results

Tearing is when the system is able to output more frames to the screen than the screen can refresh (refresh rate is the queue here) at any time. Or it can happen when the screen refresh rate, and FPS is out of sync (vsync alleviates both the problems, but introduces others). Stuttering is different. Can be caused by a lot of things.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Screen_tearing

Tearing can sometimes be seen as stuttering since it happens pretty fast.

atanas dimitrov · Nov 16, 2015

Thank. However I'm still not clear why iRacing is stuttering or tearing if it's only using 1100 vram and I have given 1900 for the game. This is on all high setting.

Look at your GPU usage.

atanas dimitrov · Nov 16, 2015

on where?

atanas dimitrov · Nov 16, 2015

i have been racing on the 3480X780 res, with all setting on HIGH. AF is 4x AA is OFF, dynamic track on All shades and shaders on, Vsync on lock at 60 FPS runs perfect. on tripple monitors.
I guess my recommended resolution by Nvidia is too much for the 680.

Toothless · Nov 16, 2015

Turn off AF and keep AA off. Sure the 680 is a good card but it was never made for single-card triple screening.

AF uses very little resources, so it great to keep. It's AA that is resource-hungry.

thats what most people say on the Iracing forum. as well as shadows. almost all people with lower cards turn off tarck and car shadows. off

Shadows is indeed a resource hog. Even with my card I rarely set it above Medium.
