The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
Publisher: BethesdaFrom our The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim review:
'It’s like watching Star Wars and genuinely thinking, ‘what about those poor Death Star construction workers?’ You’re missing the point: Skyrim is a huge and engaging world to explore and it treats you with great moments, from your first dragon encounter to finally being able to craft dwarven armour.'
We've updated our Skyrim benchmark to include the official high resolution texture pack, available as a free DLC. We set the game to its 'Ultra' setting and record a sixty second manual play through just outside the town of Whiterun during a thunderstorm. We use a section where we are able to run forward in a straight line for a minute without being attacked so the benchmark remains consistent, and use the third person camera view.

Normally I'm a fan of Zotac's efforts, but £250 for a card that, when you wring it's neck, almost gets close to the stock performance of a card that can be had for less than £15 more. The only benefit I see is lower temps from the cooler - nowhere near enough to justify the price.
To be fair, Nvidia left the partners on a hiding to nothing when the 660Ti launched at a price so close to that of the 670, so I'm surprised that Zotac made the effort at all. Surely there's more mileage in souping up a 660 non Ti card?
Same as the reference 670 (without the cooler), by look of it. I have a block on mine, and it only measures 175mm.
