Can we get a thread for underrated technology? >GTX 680

>>57798850
Post footage of your GTX 680 running Rise of the Tomb Raider, Deus Ex: Mankind Divided, Assassin's Creed: Syndicate, Dishonored 2, Black Ops 3, Fallout 4, GTA V, The Witcher 3, Dragon Age: Inquisition, Mafia 3, Hitman, Doom, Far Cry: Primal, Titanfall 2, Gears of War 4, Quantum Break, Forza Horizon 3, Mirror's Edge: Catalyst, Dark Souls 3 or The Division running at 1080p/60fps with a mixture of high and ultra settings please.

>>57798927
dude, my 7870 will do that no problem, I'm sure the 680 won't have an issue

>>57798947
yeah at 720p lmao

>>57798850
Skylake (and Kabylake, probably) i3s. Outstanding price/performance. My non-OC 6100 is paired with 1060, and I can run pretty much everything on high at 1080p/60 fps. There are some games, where 2 cores will struggle, obviously, but still.
Buying an i3 with expensive z170 mobo to overclock it is pretty retarded, yet popular move novadays tho. Just...why?

Who claimed that?

Also you severely underestimate the performance jump from dropping settings down to high.

Prove it, you delusional faggot. People with shitty old cards always go quiet when you ask them to back up their bullshit about it running all the latest games on ultra. Prove me wrong.

>>57799084
Almost all of those games are utter trash, but that's not the point.

>>57799101
>Who claimed that?
If it can't maintain 60fps, your shitty old card is worthless. That is the minimum standard. The fact that you card can technically boot up new games doesn't give it any value. I could "run" them on a $25 GT 210.

>Also you severely underestimate the performance jump from dropping settings down to high
No I don't, faggot. I own almost every game on that list and know how the others perform. Your shitty old card isn't even getting a locked 30fps in something like Mankind Divided on the High preset.

Lenovo Thinkvision monitors.

They're IPS, matte, cheap, 16:10, 1920x1200, have decent response time, and can be overclocked.

And you can get them for $100. Normies won't buy them because waaa no HDMI

You will come nowhere near close to even the high preset at 1080p/60fps preset with Rise of the Tomb Raider.

You won't even run Tomb Raider 2013 at its max with 60 fps steady.

well I don't own it yet, just the reboot, and I already said I can run it maxxed with tress effects at 50, so no argument there

you sound upset, maybe just realize that there is more to building a gaming rig than shoving in a bigger GPU

>>57799348
>If it can't maintain 60fps, your shitty old card is worthless. That is the minimum standard.

This is a little harsh. As long as you can meet the console benchmark of 30 fps with default settings you're still doing alright. Just depends on how often you like to upgrade.

>>57799518
Personally I'd say 40+ FPS on medium.

I tend to keep my hardware for a while before upgrading...

>>57799478
Ultimate is not the highest possible settings for TR 2013, you can still push some things farther with a custom profile.

>>57799528
It's either 30 or 60 for me with nothing in between. I don't like jerkiness or screen tearing. And I don't like to hear the GPU fan whirring to hard. So if I can only manage 45 fps in a game I'll limit it to 30 fps.

>>57799534
>custom profile
That's no good for benchmarks.

>>57799544
We're not talking about benchmarks, the dude said "highest settings". That means everything to the right.

Maybe my eyes just aren't as sensitive, but I've never noticed screen tearing or jerkiness on my pc.

I definitely feel it when it gets below 35 fps though.

>>57799573

>>57798850
GTX 680 is now slower than the GTX 1050 TI

>>57798850
As someone who had a 770 till may this year i'd beg to differ

the 680 cant do DX12 to save its life and could barely manage 30-60fps at medium 1080p

>>57798850
Why you always lying?

I have a GTX 680 myself and you definitely cannot max out most of the AAA titles on 1080p and it has been like that for at least 2 years.

It is still a decent low-midrange card, but nothing more than that.

In every non gameworks crippled game the AMD cards dominate with the gap widening the newer the game thanks to Nvidia's lack of driver support for kepler. It is why i sold my 780ti and went back to the 7970 i upgraded from while i wait for Vega.

>>57799579
If you aren't running tressFX then you're aren't running highest settings

That chart is a lie.

Do you legitimately believe the hd7970 could be 30FPS faster than the 680 in GTA V?
Fuck off.

>>57799611
It's not necessarily a bad thing, it just shows that it's getting to be quite old, especially the 2G variants that will be ram limited and slower than budget cards while drawing 195W standard, and near 3x the power overclocked.

>>57799346
It can't run the top games from 2014 forward at highest settings. You'd be crazy to expect it to. Dark Souls 3 won't even hit 60 fps steady with it.

>>57798927
Nigga even my gtx 460 with 1gb runs that shit no problem on 900p, even tho most games require at least 2gb vram nowdays

>>57799740
3x the power of the 1050TI in case that wasn't clear

>>57799579
Tomb Raider's benchmark is not representative of real game performance. I get 60 fps easy at very high settings with my GTX 960 in the benchmark but it will take a shit during anything with water in the actual game.

>>57799740
Yes but power consumption isn't a real reason to upgrade imo since you lose much more on a new card than you do on electricity.

I might upgrade my gtx 680 to an 1180 though if it continues to struggle with dx12, but it's still going really well with dx11.
