Alrighty.... I've got my 580 up on Ebay.

 

I should have my 660ti later this week. To anyone that wants a 660ti also, I will run some benchmarks for everyone.

Thanks Ben i guest i will wait 2 more weeks my pay check comes big for me to order these types of card so i guest it won't be a waste of money . Its going to be my first time with Nvidia . So i guest i could try out Word Not Allowed guids an better understand tweaking with Nvidia Cards. As far as AMD goes it was nice very nice graphic , also with clouds i don't know if its just me but i really got a post a video i get smooth clouds no drop in frame rates at all when it comes to clouds. I really don't know why but it runs smooth . The reason i want to try Nvidia because it seem like for every tweak or issue that may be overcome in fsx , they always talk about tweaking this in Nvidia Inspector , do this in Nvidia drivers . An you can almost never see someone talk about AMD Vision Engine Control Center. So sometimes when i face issue in fsx i really don't know what to do if the issue has to deal with GPU. So Ben please post some reviews an screen shoot when you get your new card please .

Honestly if you are happy with the 7970, then don't bother switching. Honestly, there is no reason to fix something if it aint broke.

Yea i understand Ben but i get few issues in fsx that most simmers point out at Nvidia driver updates to sort the black screen issue . But like i said i don't run Nvidia on my pc just AMD RAdeon an the driver is up to date. But i will just try Nvidia see what happens . :)

Well, whatever floats your boat! :smile:

My 580 is sold and the 660ti(superclocked) is in transit. I'll have the tests up tomorrow for the 660ti. :smile:

Great stuff Ben. Are you running tests on the 580 before shipping it away to compare the results with the 660Ti's?

I will do this tonight. lol Thanks for reminding me haha

 

I really don't need to do FSMark11. We have found that GPU's only make a small 'dent' in FPS there. I am going to run Word Not Allowed's Cloud Test and your GPUMark.

 

I will also run these tests with my 660ti. - I seriously can't wait. I paid for overnight shipping LOL!

 

 

Just another sidenote, I found benchmarks that showed the 660tiSC (the one I got) is about 2-3% slower than a vanilla 670! I paid only 309.99 for the EVGA660Ti SC and the 670 is 399.99! What a deal!
