14 DAY TRIAL // After spotting pre-orders and photos of the Kepler, we finally get to see some benchmarking results for when two cards are set up in SLI.
As far as the card alone goes, benchmarks have already illustrated its apparent superiority to the AMD Radeon HD 7970.
That said, two GeForce GTX 680 cards in SLI were reportedly put through 3DMark 11 in Entry, Performance, and eXtreme presets.
The Entry preset led to a score of E22878, while the Performance test scored P16860 and the eXtreme test left behind X6243.
The GTX 680 were clocked at 1,150 MHz for the GPU and 7.20 GHz for the GDDR5 VRAM, while the rest of the system was made up of a six-core Intel Core i7-3930K CPU (at 5 GHz) and 16 GB of quad-channel DDR3-2133 MHz on an ASUS ROG Rampage IV Extreme motherboard.
In other words, there was liberal tinkering with the performance numbers, but it is still perfectly possible to play games in 2560x1440/1600 resolution even without such overclocking.
