Battlefield 3
Battlefield 3 (DirectX 11)
Battlefield 3™ leaps ahead of its time with the power of Frostbite 2, DICE's new cutting-edge game engine. This state-of-the-art technology is the foundation on which Battlefield 3 is built, delivering enhanced visual quality, a grand sense of scale, massive destruction, dynamic audio and character animation utilizing ANT technology as seen in the latest EA SPORTS™ games.
Frostbite 2 now enables deferred shading, dynamic global illumination and new streaming architecture. Sounds like tech talk? Play the game and experience the difference!
Our Settings for Battlefield 3
Here is our testing run through the game, for your reference.
The GTX 660 is clearly the fastest option of the five compared here but the new GTX 650 Ti BOOST and AMD's Radeon HD 7850 are actually running neck and neck with the slight edge going to the GTX 650 Ti BOOST. The black line representing the HD 7790 is a full step behind the new NVIDIA card and the original GTX 650 Ti comes in trailing the pack.
Nice review but gees do we
Nice review but gees do we really need ANOTHER low-mid range card? Couldn’t Nvidia have given the GTX660 a price cut to match the 7850? Seems like an unnecessary release to me, just bring on the 7 series.
Competition Competition, too
Competition Competition, too bad AMD doesn’t have anything to offset the Titan’s Inflated Price, anyhow,thanks for the review and the video Ryan! Great cards for the money.
I don’t know if either this
I don’t know if either this Boost card or the 7790 as actual vying as competition to one another, but rather plugging their suspected holes. AMD plugged their hole between 7770 and 7850 1Gb ($115-165) and Nvidia between the GTX650Ti and GTX 660 ($135-225).
I will say AMD miss the mark when it didn’t get close to rumored 10% behind a 7850, but going with a $150 price. Nvidia seeing what AMD didn’t hit the mark, goes $170 for a gelding basically matching the 7850 2Gb reference trim. They’ve known for 6mo’s what that card could do and from what I see just “paper launch” this GTX660 boost gelding! Most AIB won’t offer reference cards, they’ll use existing PCB and coolers and ask $180. Nvidia cut the price of this binned gelding and AIB will use existing costs, if there was a bunch of room to budge Nividia/AIB’s would’ve just moved on the GTX660 pricing. Here’s the problem supposedly AMD couldn’t move a 212mm2 Pitcairn chip lower, can Nvidia drop the 214mm2 GK106 much more now with three derivatives?
While a follow-up Bonaire at 160mm2 (25% smaller) AMD has room to move the price which they will to $125-130, and that‘s pretty much already assured.
You’re a moron. The so called
You’re a moron. The so called “boost” s are nothing more than pre factory overclocks.
A “boost” card can overclock more than a non-boost one and vice-versa since it’s the exact same thing.
If you look up on how the 7970 Ghz editions overclock, you’ll see that they have absolutely nothing different other than having a higher stock clock, which just goes to show how pointless of a card this is to be released.
Wow dude, butt hurt much? So
Wow dude, butt hurt much? So u got jipped once just forget about it and game!

I’ve never bought a pre-OC’ed card in my lifetime and would also like to inform others not to.

I’ve argued with those like you a trillion of times before. You aren’t worth my time, you’re a waste of human being.
And if you were in front of me right now, I’d run you over with my T-Bird.
Have a nice day sir.

No offence but somehow I doubt you can afford a T-Bird. Anyway this is hilarious so learn more about DILLIGAF here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SzgoXoOqnn0
And yes you mad. Dis-proportionally to the situation it seems. So your words say more than you realize. You should see a doctor about it and have a read here:

Seriously… John Doe, the reason that Howie is trying to get this rise out of you is because you are throwing insults (moron, dummy, unworthy human being -or whatever the hell you said-) in each of your posts. There needs to be some sort of etiquette training here for people such as yourself… stop belittling others.

It’ll take some time though.
You two can both suck my weasel as far as I’m concerned.

85 watts for the 7790 and 140 watts for the 650 Ti Boost? That is a pretty hefty difference, especially considering the overall performance difference. Funny to see how things sorta swapped around as compared to the 7970/GTX 680 releases.
