This is running off of 1 GTX 570, and its the one in the 8x PCI-E Slot (had to bump it down one since the fans were getting bumped) Benchmark apparently does not support SLI.

EDIT: On the main GPU in the 16x slot, I get 160 higher score and 1.67 more FPS. Not a big difference at all.

Hopefully the main game supports SLI.

They said it will.

I smell BS.

The score is unusually high for his settings. I used the same settings and my overclocked 3930k/GTX 680 gets a score of 6317. I do believe he's really using a GTX Titan based off his driver version (9.18.0013.1409). Those drivers may have performance improvements, which I can't verify because those drivers can't be installed with a GTX 680.

EDIT: 6317 score is at 1600p not 1080p, that is why it is so low.

I smell BS.

He has one of the new Titan cards (Geforce 700 6GB) so I wouldn't be surprised about the score.

This is my same set up as before, but with Virtu MVP enabled. About a 2% increase. Barely did anything, it's such a gimmicky tech lol.

I still suffered in crazy insane second-and-a-half slowdowns when it first switched to every separate battle scene, but things flow smoothly after the initial lag spike. Anyone aware why?

ALSO there is a mysterious 'Increase overall quality' checkbox in the settings that... Suddenly made my score jump to 4.2k and I saw no appreciable difference when it was unticked?
Anyone knows what it does?

The score is unusually high for his settings. I used the same settings and my overclocked 3930k/GTX 680 gets a score of 6317. I do believe he's really using a GTX Titan based off his driver version (9.18.0013.1409). Those drivers may have performance improvements, which I can't verify because those drivers can't be installed with a GTX 680.

I think it's more your score that's unusually low considering your setup. You should be over 8k at 1080p max settings. As for drivers. I doubt AMD and Nvidia already have specific drivers for this benchmark, so it cant be that.
You should run the bench several times and see if the score changes or maybe even lower your OC a bit if you did this. Sometimes when you OC your card too much you suffer drop rates.

I dont what know it is but there is definitely something lowered when you uncheck the box. I went from 8100>9200 at 1080p max and 68>79fps.
I didnt see any difference either but with those always moving scenes it's not easy to notice subtle changes if seeable changes there are.

My 1080p score is about 9200 with maximum preset. When I said I used the same settings as him it's 2560x1600 with the exact custom settings.

I was planning on updating my video card to the 680, But with my gtx 480 I'm scoring 6100 on max settings and 7100 on max settings but LOD on and shadows normal instead of high. I was hoping to score 8k+ with a gtx 680 but seeing your score of 6k is making me not want to upgrade my card to the 680.... Can you post your CPU, mother board specs.
