GPU voltage question

More numbers:

Mars Benchmark
single gtx 670 = 67.51
dedicated gtx 560 ti = 46.57

Funny thing is that although the single card was faster, I felt that the rendering and animations were smoother with the 2nd card. Perhaps my eyes fooled me...

Isn't it possible to just edit my above so that all the information could be kept in one place?

Just hit the blue "Edit" link (next to the "Report" link at the bottom left of the post)

I was afraid someone would say that... after a while the "edit" button disappears and only the "report" one remains.

That's weird. I just called up an earlier post from a few months back and the edit button is still there...

Maybe you're on some kind of double secret probation !

Metro 2033 Benchmark Tool

Options: Resolution: 1920 x 1080; DirectX: DirectX 11; Quality: Very High; Antialiasing: AAA; Texture filtering: AF 4X; Advanced PhysX: Enabled; Tesselation: Enabled; DOF: Enabled

gtx 670 + gtx 560 Ti

Average Framerate: 39.00
Max. Framerate: 111.72
Min. Framerate: 6.28


single gtx 670

Average Framerate: 36.67
Max. Framerate: 76.38
Min. Framerate: 5.95

Try turning off DoF, I think that kills performance, seems like a lot hasn't changed much since july. And try to rerun the benchmark.

There you go, no DoF runs

This is a very weird problem you are having, and it seems no driver version has fixed it. it's almost as if the driver is not using the physx card correctly, anything else change in the computer over the last few months?

As a matter of fact I don't even consider it a problem, I think that's just the way it is. I'm pretty sure there's nothing wrong with my system. After all we had very nice results with Mafia 2 benchmark and PLA benchmark.
If I had to guess an explanation, it would be the same you hinted months ago: the gtx 670 is so much faster than the 560 Ti, the 560 Ti may end up not being such a help after all, I don't know.
About changes in the last few months, I'm pretty sure that when I started this thread my cpu was on its stock settings, right now I'm at 4.2 Ghz.
I have a friend who has gtx 670 and a gtx 570, I think I heard him saying the performance in Batman Arkham City was kind of strange too. I'll ask him.
Ether way, I'm just posting this data because other people might be interested as well. Excepting BAC, I have no intentions of playing any of those games. I requested people at Adhesive Games to provide a benchmarking tool for Hawken, so that I could run some tests here.
If you know of any game benchmarks I could use to make the data more reliable, just let me know.
