1
00:00:07,560 --> 00:00:14,480
of course no new GeForce launch would be complete without some 3D vision coverage

2
00:00:12,040 --> 00:00:21,720
so what I'll be focusing on here is the GTX 670 versus its predecessor

3
00:00:17,880 --> 00:00:25,880
predecessor predecessor the 570 as well

4
00:00:21,720 --> 00:00:28,720
as versus its Big Brother the GTX 680 so

5
00:00:25,880 --> 00:00:31,720
I'll just be looking at in a couple of games I'm not going to go too deep into

6
00:00:30,439 --> 00:00:37,520
the games on this one so we're just going to do crisis 2 as well as Skyrim

7
00:00:34,960 --> 00:00:41,039
in a couple games which one delivers the best 3D experience I'll be using all the

8
00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:45,960
same settings that I used for my regular 1080p performance review which means I'm

9
00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:51,360
running all these games pretty much maxed out and uh so yeah you see the end

10
00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:55,440
of my crisis 2 run through there I clearly died because I couldn't really

11
00:00:53,120 --> 00:01:00,519
do anything without the glasses on but uh yeah stay tuned I'll show you guys

12
00:00:56,920 --> 00:01:01,480
the performance results as well as um

13
00:01:00,519 --> 00:01:07,680
yeah that's pretty much it just performance results for this stereoscopic 3D performance evaluation

14
00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:13,840
I'll be using the same test bench I'm using for my regular review which is a

15
00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:16,400
Gigabyte x79 ud7 so that's uh up to

16
00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:21,560
four-way SLI capable motherboard I've got a 3930k overclock to 4 GHz for my

17
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:29,240
CPU that's a six core processor with hyperthreading 16 gigs of Kingston 1600

18
00:01:24,320 --> 00:01:31,280
MHz RAM and a Kronos SSD uh Kronos

19
00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:35,560
Deluxe SS D for my boot drive and then obviously I'll have a variety of

20
00:01:33,439 --> 00:01:41,640
different video cards and the h100 keeps the CPU nice and cool at that

21
00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:45,240
overclock so for Skyrim I'm doing my usual run through so I didn't show this

22
00:01:43,439 --> 00:01:49,040
in the 1080p performance reviews so I might as well show it now so basically I

23
00:01:46,759 --> 00:01:52,719
just take a walk around the town I go over to the end of there I stare at that

24
00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:57,200
fire for a little bit over there and then I walk over here and I come up here

25
00:01:55,240 --> 00:02:03,039
and around here and you know looking off into the distance a fair bit uh I stare

26
00:02:00,039 --> 00:02:04,920
at uh these two guards a little bit just

27
00:02:03,039 --> 00:02:08,959
to make a point of looking at a couple of character models and that is how I

28
00:02:07,159 --> 00:02:12,920
evaluate Skyrim yes I know this is a bit of an ideal scenario and there's not too

29
00:02:10,920 --> 00:02:17,480
much in terms of particle effects or tons of characters on the screen but it

30
00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:20,680
does give me reproducible results that I can easily compare from one card to

31
00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:25,760
another so it gives us an idea of how they perform relative to each other so

32
00:02:23,920 --> 00:02:30,720
as you guys will see in a moment when I show you the graph that's on the screen

33
00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:34,280
right over there the GTX 670 just

34
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:37,160
destroys the 570 it's the card that it's

35
00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:40,720
replacing in 3D gaming performance so crisis 2 is a great game to test in 3D

36
00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:45,720
because it's pretty much designed from the ground up for it there's very little

37
00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:45,720
performance

38
00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:51,599
um hit for enabling 3D sorry guys I'm a

39
00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:55,680
little slow it's sort of late um there's very little performance hit for enabling

40
00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:59,319
3D it's a great title to play in 3D other than you know a little bit of uh

41
00:02:57,480 --> 00:03:03,840
weirdness around the gun it just looks fantastic so you can see here the GTX

42
00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:08,560
670 is just barely slower than its Big Brother the 680 this card is um just

43
00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:13,879
yeah it's uncharacteristically close to the

44
00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:18,040
very very high-end card in spite of the significant difference in price and I'm

45
00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:21,959
sorry the I forgot to fix these labels but this is min FPS and this is Max FPS

46
00:03:20,239 --> 00:03:26,159
if you guys weren't already aware so you can see the Min FPS that's where you're

47
00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:31,480
really going to see the big difference between the 670 and the 570 because this

48
00:03:28,640 --> 00:03:37,560
is about a 50% Improvement in minimum frames per second which translates to a

49
00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:40,120
very tangible um tangibly better

50
00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:45,080
experience when you're playing in 3D The Witcher 2 gives us some very telling

51
00:03:42,159 --> 00:03:48,680
stats cuz you can see how Kepler has been significantly beefed up compared to

52
00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:53,239
fery in terms of its stereo 3D performance even in titles that aren't

53
00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:57,319
you know sort of 3D from the get-go when the when the game developer was

54
00:03:54,480 --> 00:04:02,519
designing it so you see this the GTX 680 so even if the 670 was about 10% slower

55
00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:09,239
at 31 minimum and you know 44 Max average

56
00:04:03,599 --> 00:04:12,200
FPS that is still a 3X plus almost a 4ex

57
00:04:09,239 --> 00:04:16,680
improvement over the GTX 570 in terms of the minimum frame rates so I ran into

58
00:04:14,959 --> 00:04:21,720
the same weirdness with Witcher 2 where the GTX 670 outperformed The 680 that I

59
00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:24,759
did it when I wasn't running in 3D and my hypothesis at this time is that

60
00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:28,639
because I'm using a newer driver revision that is not yet compatible with

61
00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:32,000
the 680 so I had to use two different drivers that there are some Witcher two

62
00:04:30,639 --> 00:04:37,880
performance improvements to be had and we're going to see this number get boosted up in the near future as well so

63
00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:41,880
thank you for checking out my 3D performance overview I know I only did a

64
00:04:39,759 --> 00:04:45,840
couple games but the general idea was I just wanted to see how does it compare

65
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:50,800
against the previous generation in terms of 3D performance and the answer is very

66
00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:55,199
favorably and how close can it be to its big brother and the answer is very very

67
00:04:52,759 --> 00:04:58,000
very close which was true when we weren't running in 3D and is also true

68
00:04:56,759 --> 00:05:02,400
when we are running in 3D so thank you for checking out this 3D 4 Minutes
