Anyone have a GTX 670. How does it do with this game?

I just installed my 670 last night. I'm getting a solid 60 FPS on ultra settings with ubersampling enabled. No hiccups or slowdown at all.

Quit bs'ing. I know you want to brag about your card but giving out false information is just wrong. I know for a fact that a single GTX670 cannot do solid 60Fps with Ubersampling on and everything else maxed out at 1920x1080 resolution. It takes 2x GTX680's to do 60Fps with everything maxed out and Ubersampling turned on, and thats not even 100% of the time, it still dips in the 50's sometimes in some scenes. Got this information myself from people who own 680's in SLI, ontop of that there's actually benchmarks on the internet showing how these cards perform with Ubersampling on.

This is just one of em

I myself have 3x GTX580's which is 160% faster than a single GTX680 and with Ubersampling on i still dip to Framerate in the 50's. With 2x GTX580's , which is 60% faster than a single GTX680, the Framerate hovers in the 40's.

So yeah quit lying.

Heres something from a review

" The Radeon HD 7970 and GeForce GTX 680 both struggled equally at 2560x1600 on this game, which is quite impressive for a year old game. The most demanding feature of the game is UberSampling, which incorporates Antialiasing and Anisotropic Filtering and can bring even these powerful graphics cards to their knees. When it was enabled [H] saw frame rates reduced to 20fps or lower, "

That was at 2650x1600 resolution so the framerates are lower, but they woudnt be that much better in 1920x1080. Ubersampling is just a really demanding option, nobody is gonna believe a single GTX670 can handle it with solid 60Fps.

Here's a statement from someone with 2x GTX680's in Sli

"Agree...Witcher 2 in Uber at 1080p is one hell of an attempt to maintain 60fps. For example, I have 2x680's in SLI Overclocked to 1106 regular, hit around 1184-1200 boost on each card, paired with a 3930k at 4.6 OC and at 1080p I bounce between 40-60fps. There are very few areas where it maintains solid 60, it mostly going between 40-60fps and this is in the beginning areas...I am sure in the Floatsom (sp) it will average bit lower.

I know someone that is able to maintain 60fps rock solid, but it required 3x680's..so it is possible, but you will need 3 cards for ultimate bliss in that game."


So yeah seriously quit the bs, irritates the hell out of me.

My apologies. You are most certainly correct. What I should have said was I now run W2 at a solid 60 FPS without ubersampling. The FPS fluctuate between 25 and 45 FPS according to FRAPS with upersampling on. It was closer to 30 during battle. Keep in mind this was early in the game. It is closer to 3FYI, I'm not "bragging" about my new video card. I'm just super stoked because it runs a heck of a lot better than my old 550 Ti. Friend bought it for me as a gift. Said I would need a new GPU since my wife and I are expecting our first baby any day, hour, or minute.

How hot do your 680s run? And how big is your case?

Alright that clears it out. But i do not have 680's, i have 3x GTX580's in SLI, the top card runs the hottest reaching about 85c in the most graphically intensive parts of The Witcher 2, but thats fine for these cards really, its just been really hot here where i live, usually on cold days the top card never goes above 70c.

My case is a CoolerMaster Storm Trooper, full tower case, about the same height as the HAF X i think. It has about 10x 2000RPM fans attached to it for good airflow, not including the 2x 2000RPM ones for my processors H70 cooler.

But i can imagine GTX670's/680's/690's to run a little colder than that since the Kepler chips consume less power i believe, which makes them less hot.
