DICE needs to optimize their engine, and Nvidia to work more with DICE to remove this problems. It will take time. You remember the big thread here about the Bad Company 2 stuttering problem ? Well it took much time until they have fixed it for good.

For me, it's not only stuttering, it's framerate drop as well. I did some research, and apparently after the major Back to Karkand patch, performance decreased with the 600 series, but it only affects certain 680/670s. Also, I was curious if anyone had noticed any performance improvements with any particular set of drivers.

Both of my GB 680/670 ran fine on 301.42.

On air certainly the classified isn't amazing, it seems to be overclocking on average around 1280 (high 1200s) per posts at EVGA + newegg.
The Classy without the EvBot is a standard 1.175v VS the Lightning 1.21v and 1.26v.....So yeah, what do you expect? rolleyes.gif[/quote]


I would say thats a win for lightning owners!!! we got a little voltage boost ,very good clocks and a nice looking card with excellent cooling plus a back plate all for only 599.99.
Plus we have the small chance we will see unlocked voltage and if we do ,well that makes it just that much better especially for the price.

Classified 659.99
Ev bot 79.99

I would expect a more superior product if I am spending almost $140.00 (150-180 more for some ) more on a EVGA classified card.
Maybe these cards will be great on water but then again you are right in price range of a 690 which will smack around a single classified without breaking a sweat.


Can we just keep this thread about the lightning and how awesome it is?

I wouldnt know because there is no way im playing without vsync, cant stand screen tear. Oh and btw I run d3dovrrider for vsync/triplebuffering.

I find that gulf of oman is the most demanding map but even then im usually at 60fps with some drops into the low 50's. 1920X1080 everything Ultra 4XMSAA 16XAF and garbage FXAA disabled.

Only thing I noticed from those drivers to the latest beta's was a slight performance increase.

None. Except for what I stated. I think some say the stuttering is gone now. I never had any except now, with vsync off. I'm sure some games have improved, I just haven't noticed. People said you can get more out of Heaven, and 3DM11. My scores have remainedexactly the same, except I gained a higher graphic score in 3DM11 by about 450pts. But nothing that translates into noticable gains.

Better clocks and lower temps? biggrin.gif

It's actually kind of funny to see so many people waste money on a Classified that throttles because the cooler isn't good enough to keep the card under 76C with only a mild overclock.

Bottom line is it might be nice with a waterblock, but even so, it'll be more expensive and probably hit the same clocks as the Lightning will be able to on air since the cooler is so much better. Any Classified owners run Heaven @ 1350/6800 and keep the Classified @ 50C? rolleyes.gif

No offense, but why are you in an Owner's thread spouting stuff about another card, and one that isn't even that great at the moment on top of it?
