[H]ardocp Fall 2012 GPU and Driver Comparison Roundup

Post by Tamlin »

On October 23rd, 2012, both AMD and NVIDIA released new beta drivers that made claims of significant performance gains for their respective GCN and Kepler architectures. AMD released Catalyst 12.11 Beta, which AMD is claiming is its "Never Settle" driver. NVIDIA released ForceWare 310.33 Beta with up to 15% better performance in some games and improvements across the board. Voices cheered across the internet as more performance was unlocked for video cards for free, but we wanted to know whether it was a true game changer or just another press release.

It was an interesting article but i wished the benchmarks included triplescreen resolutions. I'm actually trying to decide between the GTX 660 Ti, 7870 and 7950.

[H] has already mentioned they will do a SLI/Crossfire followup. They had a lot of cards to test on a short time, so I guess they had to exclude multi-mon resolutions. Too bad, since many here on WSGF would have preferred that.
