Benchmarks Real world tests of GeForce GTX 760 vs 680
Passmark Industry standard benchmark for overall graphics card performance
GeForce GTX 680 | by techPowerUp! (Mar, 2012)Further, 3DMark11 does not seem a good choice either, as it let me run much higher clocks than were stable in other tests.
3DMark Vantage (Texture Fill) Industry standard benchmark that tests DirectX performance
3DMark 11 Graphics Industry standard benchmark that tests DirectX 11 GPU performance
Crysis: Warhead (2013) 1920x1080 - Enthusiast Quality + 4xAA
GeForce GTX 680 | by techPowerUp! (Aug, 2012)Our Crysis 2 installation uses the high-res texture pack and DX11 upgrade, which helps explain this reading.
Far Cry 3 1920 x 1080 - Ultra Quality + 4x MSAA + Enh. AtoC
GeForce GTX 680 | by techPowerUp! (Aug, 2012)By genre, TES: Skyrim is a role-playing game; it combines some of the best elements of older titles in the franchise, with some new sandbox elements to churn out an extremely engaging and addictive game.
