AMD 7970m vs GTX 680m

[widezu69]

@Cloudfire, the GDDR5 speed is 900Mhz, that's an effective clock rate of 3600Mhz which is 115.2GBit/s bandwidth.

HAHAHA, so ing AWESOME
And a big whopping "I told you so" to all you AMD fanboys who said that nothing could ever beat Pitcairn or the 7970M.

Performance over 7970M:
(16%+18%+20%+19%+26%+17%+16%+8%)/8 = 17.5%

GTX is around 18% faster than 7970M

It is freaking 80% (!!!) faster than GTX 580M

I want this card in the M17xr4!!!!

Oh, ok sorry. Thought you just multiply the memory speed by 2. Now I know

And I have the m17x with 7970 otw.. I guess it's time to cancle order and wait for the new beast to enter the arena.

It have an effective memory speed of 1800MHz

It doesn't matter which number you look at. 900 MHz or 1800 MHz DDR, the result is the same.

so this is basically my third consecutive post...last one, 7970M in the HM series, Sager might have hit something: ONLINE PETITION for BIOS updates on Clevo HM model series.

and btw, the 680M is a BEAST! Imagine it with good drivers and in SLI HOLY, I give up haven't god words for this sh**.

The GTX 670 score 8600 in 3DMark 11, I'm expecting the 680m to score around 8000.

The GTX680M = 85% GTX670

comparing to the desktop :
GTX670 @ 1.1G/1.77G + 3770K
3DMark11 = P10290+

M18X R2 7970Ms Crossfire + 3920XM (in default)
3DMark11 = P11500+

M18X R1 580Ms SLI(OC 890/850/1780) + 2960XM(OC 4.8GHZ)
3DMark11 = P8858


In conclusion , the GTX680M will the 7970M

default single GTX680M = P7400~P7600
default single Radeon 7970M = P5800~P6000

Spoiler :

[Cloudfire]

hahaha that is so awesome. Earlier I calculated P7400ish for 3DMark11 for the 680M. I did not to be honest think it would be even greater. So sick

[widezu69]

@mitsuhide, could you do a benchmark running the rumoured 680m clocks? So something like 720 base, and 1800 (900 in GPU-z) memory.
