Here's a video of Single GTX 660, score is around 3600.

Yeah but Molly has a 660 Ti

Right TI should give more performance, not sure what the single GPU score would be. I doubt it's as high as a GTX 670.

Ya you're right. It's closer to the performance of a GTX 670. I wonder why NVIDIA gave it a GTX 660 model number. The stock clock CPU is holding back the score.

Nvidia (and AMD's) model numbers are always kind of screwy

Basically, if you score well with 1.0, you're not going to have a problem scoring well with 2.0. If anything, it's going to score higher. The game is just optimized so much better graphically, at least, as far as the alpha went. (Before you NDA whiners start screaming you can watch Nico Nico live presentation on youtube to see the different graphical settings for 2.0 and how they perform)

^^ and this. I don't overclock anything.

Overclock CPU is just for high score in benchmark. Doesn't make much much difference in the actual game because you load the GPU with extra settings such as AA, higher textures, shadows and in your case surround. Places where it's CPU intense are crowed areas such as town center.

660 ti is great for the price. I would of got one instead of a 670 if i knew that before hand.

Yeah my cpu has slight issues in towns when it's really populated. I really can't wait to try the 2.0 benchmark expecting it to be optimized much better.

Sry for the Noob question but what is the Diff between a 670 and 670 FTW edition i was told the FTW edition suppose to be Very close to 680 but 100 buck less when i Google this question there more than 1 million diff answer to this XD idk sometime i wonder if i should have jus got 680s instead of SLI 670 FTW XD

And yes i just recently got into Pc building im still kinda new to this

[Pseudopsia]

FTW is EVGA's naming for their factory overclock GPU. Still a GTX 670, just overclocked out of the box.

You need to overclock your Intel CPU if you want to hit 8k with old benchmark.

High res single GTX 680 slightly overclocked with 3930k overclocked to 4.5 Ghz, 2400 Mhz memory.


Low res single GTX 680 slightly overclocked with 3930k overclocked to 4.5 Ghz, 2400 Mhz memory.

I have almost the exact same system and can only hit 7.5k... My CPU is 3770k but OC'd to 4.5 Ghz, and my ASUS GTX 680 4GDDR5 is running at 1225 Mhz..

I am an OC noob though.. If I tried clocking my GPU to 1250MHz, the screen goes black momentarily and an error says that the GPU failed (So presuming 1225 is my limit).

It might not help that I am running dual monitors? I have no idea though.

Makes me feel kind of miserable seeing people having to use that nasty old benchmark because SE haven't pushed the ARR benchmark software out yet.
