Gigabyte GTX670 OC Video Card Review

UT3 is the fourth game in the Unreal Tournament series.  It has no story mode gameplay and is exclusively designed for multiplayer action.  The game itself is rather old but the game engine can still be found in most modern games still being released today.  For this benchmark, we're using the UT3Bench tool from Guru3D, and CarbonFire Botmatch to record framerates.  

Benchmark Settings

UT3 works great as a motherboard benchmark since it can determine fill rate to the video card based on overall system performance, however the results seen here are a little different from what we had expected.  First of all the Gigabyte GTX 670 OC scores are all in line with that we would expect to see however, moving to the HD 7970 and GTX 580 we see a huge jump in numbers between 25x16 and 19x10 followed by, what looks to be, a frame cap.
