I should be able to max everything out with a single GTX 670 right?

[lord hircine]

On a single 1920x1080 monitor? games like Crysis 3, Battlefield 3. Far Cry 3 if its paired up with a i5 3570k CPU? if not i guess i'll wait for a 770.

Sure, you can easily max our Crysis 3 with a single 670. Just dont expect to get more than 20fps.

Except crysis 3

Sure you can always "max everything out", but that doesn't necessarily mean you'll be getting playable framerates.

With everything maxed out in Crysis 3 1080p, a single GTX 680 and HD 7970 respectively only get around 30-40 FPS on average, while Geforce Titan only manages somewhere in the mid-lower 50s. GTX 670 would be getting somewhere pretty close to the 680 with perhaps 10% less performance.

So the conclusion is yes? You could max everything if those framerates are playable by your standards.

Performance should be decent using the preset Very High settings:

With the less demanding settings behind us, we're cranking up the graphics quality to its highest level using the Very High preset.

Because it's simply not possible to run the most demanding MSAA settings using Very High details, we're sticking to 2x SMAA. We're also limiting the Motion Blur option to Medium for two reasons: it exacts a high demand, and we're not really interested in seeing more blur than than Medium gives us.

Test rig uses an Intel Core i7-3960X (Sandy Bridge-E), 3.3 GHz/3.9 GHz Max Turbo.

I use that exact setup, and no way. Crysis 3 cripples it, and just about any demanding game out there will take a considerable hit with higher AA settings. Also having a powerful system isn't a free pass to max console ports/broken games.

GTX 670 can max most games but not with max AA or PhysX on it's own.

This blows, i got my computer almost 4 years ago for around 1100, the GPU and CPU were i7 920 and gtx 260. I thought if i spent another 1100 on a gaming computer today it would put my past computer in the thrash but its only a little bit better. They're not advancing the powers of graphic cards fast enough except for the titan which is way overpriced. The 670 isn't even that much better than a 260 than...i would expect it to be like 3 times as powerful since its almost 4 years newer.

LOL




The gtx 670 is over 4 times more powerful than a gtx 260...

Passmark Benchmark:
GeForce GTX 260 1,118
GeForce GTX 670 5,325

Expectation: 3 times more powerful
Reality: 4.763 times more powerful

Looks like it's full of win to me.

Let me rephrase that. No card, not one, NONE can play Crysis 3 at 1080p with everything maxed out and churn an average of 60 FPS. Not because they suck, not because their drivers suck, not because Crytek sucks, but because it's such a demanding game well ahead of its time (for the current console generation anyway). For reference, YES the GTX 670 is much faster than 260 or you're doing something wrong and NO the GTX 260 can't even run Crysis 3 at its lowest possible settings and I mean it can't even start the game.

You should be able to play all of today's games at high/ultra settings at 1080p.Here the MSI 670 PE in action Crysis 2 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BnLUJxCBZUg&feature=plcp

 

[redeemer]

simple answer NOPE!

the 670 eats a 260 for breakfast!The 670 will play all games an run everything at 1080P at high to ultra settings.There no single card that can max out all games so your getting depressed over nothing.

 

[icraft]

Um, nope, even a top of the line card wont. You might want x2 680s for that.

 

[imomun]

Max out everything not possible with single card solution
Good enjoyable gaming : Very much Possible.

For me I can max on a GTX 680 and a Core i5 2500K OC-ed at 4.2GHz with 4x TXAA at around 50-70 FPS mark.

I think it's mainly due to my native resolution at 1680 x 1050 and also I OC-ed my GTX 680 about 110 MHz on Core clock as well.
I dunno about HD Resolution though.

So my best recommendation: If you're on a GTX 670 / 680 like me and couple with an X or K processor, just overclock a bit (Monitor stability and temps) and you'll be abit more comfy of the frame rates.

Sure, you can easily max our Crysis 3 with a single 670. Just dont expect to get more than 20fps.

:lol: he get 40 to 45fps on ultra settings not 20fps.
