00:00:07.560 --> 00:00:14.480
of course no new GeForce launch would be complete without some 3D vision coverage

00:00:12.040 --> 00:00:21.720
so what I'll be focusing on here is the GTX 670 versus its predecessor

00:00:17.880 --> 00:00:25.880
predecessor predecessor the 570 as well

00:00:21.720 --> 00:00:28.720
as versus its Big Brother the GTX 680 so

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

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

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

00:00:39.280 --> 00:00:45.960
same settings that I used for my regular 1080p performance review which means I'm

00:00:43.600 --> 00:00:51.360
running all these games pretty much maxed out and uh so yeah you see the end

00:00:48.840 --> 00:00:55.440
of my crisis 2 run through there I clearly died because I couldn't really

00:00:53.120 --> 00:01:00.519
do anything without the glasses on but uh yeah stay tuned I'll show you guys

00:00:56.920 --> 00:01:01.480
the performance results as well as um

00:01:00.519 --> 00:01:07.680
yeah that's pretty much it just performance results for this stereoscopic 3D performance evaluation

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

00:01:09.920 --> 00:01:16.400
Gigabyte x79 ud7 so that's uh up to

00:01:13.840 --> 00:01:21.560
four-way SLI capable motherboard I've got a 3930k overclock to 4 GHz for my

00:01:19.680 --> 00:01:29.240
CPU that's a six core processor with hyperthreading 16 gigs of Kingston 1600

00:01:24.320 --> 00:01:31.280
MHz RAM and a Kronos SSD uh Kronos

00:01:29.240 --> 00:01:35.560
Deluxe SS D for my boot drive and then obviously I'll have a variety of

00:01:33.439 --> 00:01:41.640
different video cards and the h100 keeps the CPU nice and cool at that

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

00:01:43.439 --> 00:01:49.040
in the 1080p performance reviews so I might as well show it now so basically I

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

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

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

00:02:00.039 --> 00:02:04.920
at uh these two guards a little bit just

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

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

00:02:10.920 --> 00:02:17.480
much in terms of particle effects or tons of characters on the screen but it

00:02:15.480 --> 00:02:20.680
does give me reproducible results that I can easily compare from one card to

00:02:19.120 --> 00:02:25.760
another so it gives us an idea of how they perform relative to each other so

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

00:02:27.360 --> 00:02:34.280
right over there the GTX 670 just

00:02:30.720 --> 00:02:37.160
destroys the 570 it's the card that it's

00:02:34.280 --> 00:02:40.720
replacing in 3D gaming performance so crisis 2 is a great game to test in 3D

00:02:39.480 --> 00:02:45.720
because it's pretty much designed from the ground up for it there's very little

00:02:42.720 --> 00:02:45.720
performance

00:02:45.800 --> 00:02:51.599
um hit for enabling 3D sorry guys I'm a

00:02:48.840 --> 00:02:55.680
little slow it's sort of late um there's very little performance hit for enabling

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

00:02:57.480 --> 00:03:03.840
weirdness around the gun it just looks fantastic so you can see here the GTX

00:03:01.440 --> 00:03:08.560
670 is just barely slower than its Big Brother the 680 this card is um just

00:03:07.720 --> 00:03:13.879
yeah it's uncharacteristically close to the

00:03:11.560 --> 00:03:18.040
very very high-end card in spite of the significant difference in price and I'm

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

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

00:03:24.360 --> 00:03:31.480
really going to see the big difference between the 670 and the 570 because this

00:03:28.640 --> 00:03:37.560
is about a 50% Improvement in minimum frames per second which translates to a

00:03:33.760 --> 00:03:40.120
very tangible um tangibly better

00:03:37.560 --> 00:03:45.080
experience when you're playing in 3D The Witcher 2 gives us some very telling

00:03:42.159 --> 00:03:48.680
stats cuz you can see how Kepler has been significantly beefed up compared to

00:03:47.040 --> 00:03:53.239
fery in terms of its stereo 3D performance even in titles that aren't

00:03:50.720 --> 00:03:57.319
you know sort of 3D from the get-go when the when the game developer was

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

00:03:59.560 --> 00:04:09.239
at 31 minimum and you know 44 Max average

00:04:03.599 --> 00:04:12.200
FPS that is still a 3X plus almost a 4ex

00:04:09.239 --> 00:04:16.680
improvement over the GTX 570 in terms of the minimum frame rates so I ran into

00:04:14.959 --> 00:04:21.720
the same weirdness with Witcher 2 where the GTX 670 outperformed The 680 that I

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

00:04:23.400 --> 00:04:28.639
because I'm using a newer driver revision that is not yet compatible with

00:04:26.440 --> 00:04:32.000
the 680 so I had to use two different drivers that there are some Witcher two

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

00:04:35.880 --> 00:04:41.880
thank you for checking out my 3D performance overview I know I only did a

00:04:39.759 --> 00:04:45.840
couple games but the general idea was I just wanted to see how does it compare

00:04:44.160 --> 00:04:50.800
against the previous generation in terms of 3D performance and the answer is very

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

00:04:52.759 --> 00:04:58.000
very close which was true when we weren't running in 3D and is also true

00:04:56.759 --> 00:05:02.400
when we are running in 3D so thank you for checking out this 3D 4 Minutes
