Interesting. I had a similar manual with my 560 Ti, but I have never seen a site actually post the manual.

Peculiar.

I wish they specified the exact cases that got them the fake numbers they have there, averaging like 15-20% faster than the 7970 in "nvidias own tests" when reality is its ~5% and mostly in nv-centric games.

yeah SMX is such a ground breaker..

It (physx3) better be optimized on everything not just Kepler, otherwise they can keep this bull...

The best part about that Physx marketing crap is the cool new games that use physx, like... chinese game called QQ Dance 2! I can't wait!

You'd think they'd be too embarassed to even put that in there...

Nope, that's a legit reviewer's guide.

I like the fact, that they say to install drivers, and don't touch them, so it will be even, but on at least 2 occasions, they tell you to disable 2 things in AMD's driver. LOL

What happened to untouched drivers?
