Hi,
My understanding with Kepler was that while NV had tripled the shader count they now run at core speeds. I.e. 915mhz core = 915mhz shader, not 1,830mhz!
Looking at various tech specs confirms this, as does information from Nvidia.
However, EVERYWHERE I look retailers are listing the shader clocks as DOUBLE the core clock, just like Fermi - which simply isn't true unless I'm missing something? Even GPUz no longer shows a separate Shader clock as it's the same as the core...
Wouldn't it be true that anyone buying a 680 (or the new 670 I've just been checking out) could return their products as it's not as advertised? I'm looking at a website now where they list several brands of GTX 670 ALL of which show a shader clock of 1,900mhz + I mean, it's quite a difference for someone thinking they are getting 3x the shaders at a HIGHER mhz than their old Fermi card to getting 3x the shaders at only half (or there abouts) speed.
What's the deal here, am I missing something? It can't be the "equivalent" mhz figures we see for RAM, as that makes sense. We also know that shader for shader at a given clock, Kepler shaders are no better than Fermi ones - hence the need for 3x more to get ~50% performance minimum.
Help me out here, what am I missing? Hmm, maybe a pair of 670's...oooo, STUFF! lol.
It's been over 24hrs without sleep, maybe I'm being overly picky...or just talking rubbish lol.
