NikoDG Posted March 20, 2012 Posted March 20, 2012 Meh I forgot the link lol Yeah but the lanes! Does IB have the full PCIE 3.0 exoerience(40 lanes or something?)? http://www.fudzilla.com/home/item/26435-amd-hd-7990-specs-show-up Personally I'd be a little surprised if the IB chipset had 40 lanes, the SB chipset only had 24 iirc. SB-e has 40 lanes, so I'm sure IB-e will. But if you want 40 PCI-e 3.0 lanes I'd grab a i7 3820. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
d6bmg Posted March 20, 2012 Posted March 20, 2012 Does IB have the full PCIE 3.0 exoerience(40 lanes or something?)? Seems like impossible at this moment. Cause already explained the the previous post. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
El_Capitan Posted March 20, 2012 Posted March 20, 2012 Someone found this uploaded a little too early on Tom's Hardware Guide (they took it down): Pretty good at stock clocks and at 1920 x 1080. Still nothing yet when overclocked and at higher resolutions (where it matters for this type of card). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
XtremeDS Posted March 20, 2012 Posted March 20, 2012 I kind of hope that it is good and makes AMD lower their prices. So it will make them work for a good 8000 series, which is probably when I am planning to buy a new GPU. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DanTheGamer11 Posted March 20, 2012 Posted March 20, 2012 Personally I'd be a little surprised if the IB chipset had 40 lanes, the SB chipset only had 24 iirc. SB-e has 40 lanes, so I'm sure IB-e will. But if you want 40 PCI-e 3.0 lanes I'd grab a i7 3820. I thought SB had 16 lanes? The Extreme ones do have 40 so that's where 40 lanes came from Remember the lanes need to branch off from the CPU! I wonder what the production costs are for a 7970, doubt a lot of people would go for a 7970 just for a few degrees less Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speedway Posted March 20, 2012 Posted March 20, 2012 Why does that remind me of the old NVIDIA coolers..? Source They do look like the "old" NVIDIA coolers.....just like the MSi GTX 580 This ref cooler design has been used for awhile, so really it's nothing unusual Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bosco Posted March 20, 2012 Posted March 20, 2012 At any rate, I don't think the GTX 680 is going to blow the HD 7970 out of the water. AMD did a great job, and it overclocks amazingly. Unless the GTX 680 can match two GTX 580 3GB's in SLI, they didn't improve as much as AMD has. I will say this. Nvidia did a better job then AMD did in overclocking. My GPU overclock is 305mhz above stock with no voltage what does that tell ya Nvidia will take the performance crown, by a lot in some games not so much in others, but make no mistake about it AMD's prices will have to come down. Just so we are clear, this is the first of their cards, we are expecting even more powerful cards over the next couple of months.

The HD 7970 is typically 245MHz above stock with no voltage overclock. I wonder how much a voltage adjustment Keplar can handle with watercooling. So the GTX 680 is really going to be what the GTX 570 was? :drool: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nyt Posted March 20, 2012 Posted March 20, 2012 My GPU overclock is 305mhz above stock with no voltage what does that tell ya Depends on whether stock is 1006mhz or 706mhz ... Which one Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
