FPS jumps between 30 and 60 here. 1 core of the CPU does reach 100% though so there goes their multicore won’t bring improvements. And its a i5 2500k overclocked to 4.5 GHZ so thats not slow either… The only other bottleneck I could think of is the memory bandwidth of the GPUs. Previous testing of overclocking that didn’t show improvement, but I may have to test that again.

Hell my Tis are 1000 mhz factory overclocked and I run them at 850 for coolness ad lifetime increase. 1000 would increase wot fps by 2-3 at max. Does not worth it IMHO.

As much as it supports AMD chipset then.

TIL World of tanks supports SLI but not Crossfire?

Def better with 2x GTX 580.

oh sorry, im blind. :D

But still, 680M is better than 770M
He shouldnt have problem getting constant 60fps using just one card …

70°C is pretty good temperature IMHO.
Those chips do well even with 90-95°C

But yeah, you’re right, why pushing it further when it can be basically half-idle :D

Still pretty sad about the engine that it cannot squeeze the HW more…
I’ve had mobile radeon 7970 at home for a few days, that card is supposed to be close to desktop GTX570-580. I’ve put it into my laptop and it was running at 70%, fps didnt reach even 45

if you got 15fps on gtx680 then your issue is elsewhere :D

I’ve got gtx770M (desktop equivalent GTX660Ti) which is way slower card, and I’m getting 45-60fps depending on the map… All maxed out.

One such card should be able to perform 4x better.

As I wrote under the new driver post, SLI no longer reduces performance. I have 2x GTX 560Ti, and I’m not quite sure there is much gain here. But while in single GPU mode usage is around 90-95% and the card can reach 70C°+, in SLI mode FPS doesn’t drop (maybe there is even a small increase) and cards go to 50-60% usage, both staying below 60C°.
Big gain in performance? Definitely not. But if I can gain a bit more life out of my cards this way…

HAHA I wouldn’t hold my breath, I have the new drivers for a week now and they do nothing with my 780 sli………
