this is nvidia biased bench pcgameshardware.de reviewed crysis 3 with latest drivers.... 1080p,4xaa,VHQ maxed out- 7970ghz-43 fps 7970=39 fps 680=38 fps 7950=35 fps 670=34 fps see it for yourself- http://www.pcgameshardware.de/Crysis-3-PC-235317/News/Crysis-3-Benchmarks-von-AMD-1056491/galerie/2046899/#?a_id=1056491&g_id=-1&i_id=2046902

Who cares? Crappy performance across the board. It is funny to hear people talking about wanting to upgrade for C3 though. Do you upgrade your card for 3dMark? Crytek releases a point and click interactive (I use the term loosely here) benchmark with brain-dead ai that lasts all of 7 hours (again, I'm being generous) and people with SLI and crossfire setups are crying on each others shoulders ready to dish out hundreds more in addition to the $60+ that they just spent. Crytek, AMD, and Nvidia must be laughing their collective arses off. It actually is quite brilliant entertainment. But don't worry, Maldo will probably come along and mod the game to look better and run great, even on DLD's "magical" 470. :wanker:

313.95 aren't the latest drivers. The newer ones give a performance increase in Crysis 3 specifically, granted it's only 5% but still. Plus it's two different tests, Hilbert is using FXAA vs 4xMSAA on that review, obviously it's going to be different numbers and that could potentially offset values between cards differently, but I mean wtf are you supposed to do, show every single possible combination of AA/AF/etc and dozens of cards? I can just as easily say that using 4xMSAA is advantageous for AMD and thus that site is bias. But yeah go away.

Nice review, thanks Hilbert. But is the 7950 a ghz edition (1000mhz) or just the boost edition (925mhz)? Didnt know there was a 7950ghz ed.

So why is it that they used beta6 drivers from the 18th and not the latest nvidia drivers from the exact same day ? (released earlier even) Fail!

Great mini review HH. I've played under an hour so far and found a tweak posted by DarrenSimmons to be well worth trying. http://forums.guru3d.com/showpost.php?p=4535260&postcount=1857 With my GTX580 clocked by about +20%, running max settings, no AA, vsync on, I havent seen max GPU use yet. (313.95 driver) It has hugged 60fps the whole time. Its early in the game though so perhaps I'll eat my words 🙂 ps the game looks awesome!!

there are tons of nvidia paid shill sites...g3d one of them hardwaresecrets got banned 2 years ago coz they refuse to kiss nvis butt http://www.geforce.com/whats-new/articles/nvidia-geforce-314-07-whql-drivers-released http://www.pcgameshardware.de/Crysis-3-PC-235317/News/Crysis-3-Benchmarks-von-AMD-1056491/galerie/2046899/#?a_id=1056491&g_id=-1&i_id=2046902

You managed 2 whole posts since joining before you started to troll. Then you did 2 consecutive trolls in the same thread. One post not enough for you, feel bigger now? :P Take a serious look at yourself before criticising others, you're not even a good forum member lol. fyi, I havent seen anything that makes me believe they favour NVidia. y u feel so inferior?

at what resolution are you playing ?

1080p. I'll recheck my full settings in a minute. I think I disabled motion blur. Yep, everything on ultra, motion blur disabled, vsync on.

i'm not trolling ...i have given benches and even nv off bench result.. .....and this review is pathetic and fake coz there is no 7950GHZ edition card in the market unless you manually oc it....only msi(aftermarket design) recently released 7950 with boost clock to 960mhz but not ghz edition...similar hazard they did with fc3 bench when they say 7970boost model.....even an elite member(2003 join date,2500+posts,5 rep points) of anand told me not to give much heed on g3d ....they are one among many of nvi biased site and generally do time-line demo benches

So you're here because... ? For someone so nitpicky, you failed to notice: 1) they have clocked some of AMDs gfx cards to 1GHz and shown how they will perform. Hardly the action of an NVidia shill. 2) they havent stated that any of the cards are the GHz "edition", you're the only one that did that. Look at all the performance charts, not one of the cards are labelled, they are reference clocks or running at the specified speed. Again before criticising, look at what you are doing. There are quite a few decent words to describe you, but I wont stoop to your level. I will grin a bit though 😀 If you dont like this forum or the review, start/write your own. See how you get on 😉

Not that I'm taking sides with that troll but: clearly states "GHz" Good stuff from Guru3D as always though, keep them trolls out. 😉

It doesnt say GHz "edition". The cards are not specific models, there are no brands either. Those clocked to 1GHz are labelled GHz.

Why is there always one prick that calls results BIAS just because he doesn't like what he sees ? We perform tests, write down the numbers and publish them. That's it. Results can and always differ per website, different area's tested, different levels, different AA modes, different drivers, different test setups. We try to create an equal playing field for all cards tested but remember, we test based on the latest drivers with a fast platform on the very same SSD cloned OS images. These are the results but sure, always look at the results as an indication.

Poor Hilbert needs some rest folks, the Titan has been covered from every angle, Crysis 3 was promoted from day one with all the stellar reveal vids, and now this, our own Crysis 3 gpu reference guide. I'm glad it's the weekend Hilbert, i'm taking tonight off, credit card bill not due till next month anyways so whatevah!! :P We love you, big Fella, ..and await your lara croft gpu benchy article when time is right!!!

Well we know there is a 7970ghz edition, so we must assume the one here is that. But never heard of a 7950 ghz model before, just the boost edition. So is the 7950 here clocked to 1ghz? If so, it is not a representative 7950.

GHz editions are marked as GHz. On the 7950 GHz .. that is the 'Boost' edition: http://www.guru3d.com/articles_pages/radeon_hd_7950_with_boost_review,1.html AMD really has no fixed name for the models with a dynamic turbo frequency hence I label it GHz these days. Unfortunately it is the only 7950 I have left for testing as we had to flash the regular 7950 towards this Boost/GHz model. I can see why that can be a little confusing though. What do you guys prefer to have it called ? Boost or GHz edition ?

Boost sounds a little ghey when you say it back a few times, GHz makes sense, i always understood the 7970 GHz you had was a GHz edition and the 7950 GHz was like a MSI 670 'Power' edition.

I take it back, was a bit premature, fps has dropped to 40s. edit: but it seems its a CPU limit, the gfx card wasnt maxed. Damn 4.5GHz not enough!

If its clocked to 1 ghz than I guess it can be referred to as 7950 ghz. But if its flashed to the regular boost model (boosting to 925mhz), than it may be referred to as boost. But you may want to clarify with an asterix if you add ghz to the 7950 because it will invite increased questioning from outside of this site (which I have seen).
