Beats an hd7770! But it is only a synthetic benchmark, so meh....

You need to edit your title to GK107, not GK104!

I should hope that a GK104 would beat something as lowly as a 7770! There would be something horribly wrong if it didn't. GK107 seems decently powerful, should be a hint about what the rest of the lineup is likely to be like.

I dunno, I think the video is kinda suspect myself. it would have been relatively easy to show the card sitting in the system and that's not in the video, then you have the card description in the device manager, which is a highly unlikely description IMHO, particularly for an engineering sample.

I'd expect "NVIDIA GK107 ES", if that for a descriptor, not "NVIDIA GeForce Kepler GK107 (Engineering Sample)"

And since they were in Device Manager anyhow why didn't they show a screenshot of the Device Id? Not that any of the Device Manager stuff means squat diddly, it can all be very easily forged.

from my own Device Manager

It looks like it got pulled

I have a copy of it and the 06 benchmark.

I must say that *IF* there is any truth at all to these videos then the low-end is not as dead for discrete cards as everyone thinks it is.will be. A GT440 card will run you around $70 in Australia at the moment and GK107 looks to be bringing at least GTX460 SE levels of performance to this segment. Not bad at all.

i fixed the OP's title to GK107


is this the screenshot?

Well, it's *a* screenshot, not sure about *the* screenshot. Yeah, that's the 3DMark11 score, 3DMark06 was 23893.

there were a bunch (7 or so I think) of videos from the dude posted. I only looked at the Vantage & 06 videos myself, didn't have time today for anything more, but here is a score summary someone on B3D did, in anticipation of the videos being removed.

Just curious. When have you ever seen a GPU identified as an "Nvidia Engineering Sample"?


Is there any indication of what drivers were used from the video?

On the ES question, Never. And why would it have Kepler in there too? Apparently the drivers used are the latest WHQL's and they don't have any GK107 information/support in them according to what I'm reading online, so it's pretty damn certain the videos were fake.
