First GeForce GTX 670 Benchmarks Revealed

It lasted just a couple of hours, but that was enough for everybody to get a glimpse at what Nvidia’s new rebadged GK104 GPUs can do against AMD’s Radeon HD 7950.

Two benchmarks were run: Futuremark’s 3D Mark Vantage and 3D Mark11.

In the less demanding 3DMark Vantage Performance setting, the GTX 670 was able to outperform both its counterparts, a GeForce GTX 570 and the aforementioned AMD Radeon HD 7950.

Once Extreme mode was set, AMD’s Radeon trounces the GeForce GTX 570 and is practically equal to the GeForce GTX 670.

Moving to the 3DMark11, we can see that the increased complexity of the test is clearly showing Radeon’s superiority to the GeForce GTX 570, as the former moves closer to the GTX 670, but it is not able to equal the GeForce GTX 670 performance level.
