680MX Benchmarks please

The tests I performed were from the first Borderlands.
Sadly Borderlands 2 is 50% off on Steam today but I don't have the funds to pick it up after going all out for my iMac U_U
Still going through that "did I really just pay that much...?" phase hu?
More than understandable, but at least you'll almost certainly be able to play it when you get your hands on it.
Should start a steam Mac Benchmarking account so titles no one has can be gifted for GPU/CPU tests.
Battlefield 3 is running a 55-75fps on my 2012 27" iMac, i7 3.4GHz 8GB ram, (680MX 2GB) at 1920x1080 everything Ultra. With locked V sync it stays right on 60fps. 2560x1440 frame-rate dips to the 40's but if you turn down anti aliasing to 2X it jumps back to 60fps and looks fantastic!

We might disagree on the definition of minimal.

After this update i can now play far cry 3 at 1440p at ultra with no AA
Thanks
What FPS you getting, i just played at 1440 on ultra with no AA and was only getting 25 FPS with the 310.70 update. It shoots up past 70fps at 1080p.

How can you show the fps ingame? Is there a console command in every game that's different?
I just got back into computer games with my new iMac. Used to play on my PS3 the last couple of years
Download Fraps.
Yes haha! I knew I was not alone
I absolutely love it too pieces though so it takes a bit of the sting off. Should start a steam Mac Benchmarking account so titles no one has can be gifted for GPU/CPU tests.
I do have this already, the steam name for it is fenneddar!
We would have to know whether he benchmarked the 675MX with Heaven under OSX or Windows.
The 680MX gets 39 in OSX and 53 in Windows.
I get 30-45fps on ultra, with no AA and I turned that HDAO thing to HBAO and it made a difference in fps

Is that at 1440? From what ive read most people are struggling to run this at 1080p at a decent framerate on alot of gaming rigs let alone 1440! I will have to try that HDAO setting, but from what ive read turning off Post FX altogether makes a massive difference and looks better too.
Yep 1440p
But if it goes below 35fps it kind of becomes unplayable, especially if thats the average... How much of a compromise do you have to make to get it stable at native resolution? How drastic is the visual difference between 1080p and 1440p on the iMac screen?
Honestly there is a difference in the details (sharpness, etc.) but nothing drastic. But I don't see how people can't play at 30fps, it's so smooth and most definitely playable, they human eye probably can't even distinct 30fps from 40-50fps, if it were to drop to 20-25fps I wouldn't play it, but 30fps is just fine for me
The scores posted on behalf of forgottenwallet are under OSX
@ forty2j: what you posted is comparing 680MX Windows with 675MX OSX....
Have a better look on what I have originally posted that is under OSX for BOTH of them...
And again , not my scores ! Those were posed in the 675MX thread...
Any other guy willing to benchmark his 675MX ???

it would be interesting to hear from forgottenwallet or somebody else with a 675MX, I think he might have unbeknownst benchmarked with different settings. Maybe Heaven defaults to different settings, depending with the card?
Sure! We want more 675MX Benchmarks !!!
But as far as I can see only a (very) few people got the 675....Honestly there is a difference in the details (sharpness, etc.) but nothing drastic.

I haven't checked the actual FPS, but it definitely runs very smooth in 1440p! Haven't turned on AA (which probably wouldn't make a great difference at that resolution, like somebody already said) and left everything on the default high settings. Looks beautiful and runs excellent : )

I would guess many people actually got the 675MX or will get it, they just don't post in this forum.
Forgottenwallet replied to me, I haven't checked the Heaven settings yet but if memory serves that's what I benchmarked with as well. That would mean, that I got only 2 FPS more in OSX on my 680MX. Maybe it's just something OSX related and under windows the difference would become visible, but we won't know until somebody presents a benchmark.
Either way, Im sure the 675MX is a powerful card as well! And should have better driver support at the moment, since its not Apple exclusive.
At the end of the day I'm very happy with the 680MX, runs games more than well already with those beta drivers
