Anyone that has a GTX 680, is this card good enough to run all ultra settings with manageable FPS? Just asking because I've heard of ton of people having high-end cards and still getting low FPS. Don't want to waste my money
There is more to it then a good Card... You CPU is one of the big factors. Posting your Current PC spec would be a great help for people who know this sort of thing to be able to offer the best help!
I have and yeah it's more than (reazlly MUCH TOO MUCH more than) good enough. the problem with FPS in this game is the CPU, get a FAST CPU and you'll be fine
For those interested in the GTX 680. * The majority, purchase these cards in SLI configs. - Since it was once the best single GPU on the market. Atm, the better choice would be buying a GTX 670 in SLI. * As for running a single GPU in general, this is fine. - But don't expect to achieve ultra settings with high FPS. Another issue is the game engine. * It is the main problem, in regards to both the CPU and GPU usage. - Since the average is for both is about 50%, on ultra settings. - On low settings that percentage drops, to around 30%.
In some cases it helps, while for others it just makes it worse. * It depends entirely on your system specifications. Like I said before. * Having your settings on "Ultra" will actually make your graphics card work. - At around 50%, rather than being 20-30% on average.
Even tho, it is a nice tool. * It does not give specifics in regards what is wrong with both CPU or GPU. A better tool would be , "MSI Afterburner with HWiNFO64" * With this tool you can see the exact specifics of what is the real bottleneck. If the engine was properly optimized, your FPS could easily be "30 - 40%" better.
This. Your CPU is gonna be equally important. For example, my 7970 rarely goes above 60-70% GPU usage. I'm massively CPU bottlenecked, even at 4.8 GHz (dips as low as 25 FPS at times)...
