new cards bringing some nice numbers on the table :hehe:
what about the "classical" benches? you will run them as well?

[fubarswe]

I will give them a go too :-).., if I dont have a hw meltdown..:eek:

[xwards]

Nice results :up:
Keep pushing

[sobih25]

[fubarswe]

HW is roaring... :-)

[TheGoat Eater]

keep pushing it :up: - even though you have made more work for me in that I need to take back '01 and '06 9600GT SLI scores ;)

I´m keepin a close eye on that.., my 9600GT´s is still here... :):):).., GL HF!
(dunno if I have any hw left after Vantage attack..:eek:)

[Gautam]

Very heavy Vantage damage fubarswe. :)

[fubarswe]

Thx! :-) .., trying to keep hw busy.. :-) numbers really rocketing with new drivers!

[massman]

Why only Vantage? Can you show us some real benchmarks? :p

[Sampsa]

Since it is the best benchmark for latest generation graphics cards.

Running previous 3DMarks with a system like that would be like driving a Formula 1 race car on pit lane with speed limiter on :ROTF:

.., true, true..!

I will give it a go but I had to make sum Vantage runs first... :-)

Dare I to point to: http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/group.php?groupid=8. The best example of how real benchers' benchmarks are not always the best for the latest generation :).

[demonkevy666]

how many of these threads are there with three GTX280's lol
all Intel CPu's
sad to not see anyone trying this with the AMD Phenom & a 780A board :(

I'm sorry but for these tests.. using a Phenom? Let's not turn this into a Phenom bashing thread, better off not mentioning it.

+1!!! Lets see what the 780a can do dammit.

[aNoN_]

Lets see some 06 score please!

Btw does someone know how i can see who got the record of 3dmark05 and 06 on ORB? I can only see for Vantage as for now.

[NH|Delph1]

I saw the preview and I was just waiting for this to come :D

Very nice :up:

I'm really looking forward to seeing some "classic" 3DMark numbers with the GTX 280s. From looking on HWbot, they look like they lose to the 9800GX2 in just about every bench except Vantage, but there aren't many scores on there with the GTX 280s to see what they can really do in the older benches. There also aren't any triple GTX 280s on hwbot at all except Vantage, I'm curious how they do in '03.

.., had to make a "true" singelcard run with BFG GTX 280...

Cpu test having my 9650 for breakfast.. :-)

Old benchies will come.., Vantage just so much fun atm.. :-)

[fubarswe]

[Vivi]

Why only Vantage? Can you show us some real benchmarks? :p

[nachthymnen]

Not with the actual CPU, we need Nehalem to unleash the brute power of those vga:)

Ahh.., sounds really nice! :-).., Tek´s will bring out the Dragons in these cards for sure..!

[aNoN_]

so when can we expect 3-SLI 3dmark06 scores? Would be interesting to see...

I believe XP is better then Vista for 06 and in XP there's no support for 3-way SLI

[George_o/c]

Great tests fubarswe :up: LN2 on the cards maybe ? :D
Keep pushing it man :up: (Oliver :D)

Giorgio, can't wait for you LN2 tests :)

[fubarswe]

thx guys! :-) .., feels like the 280 cards just wait for the right chip.., then they will go ballistic.., :-)., LN2 will come.., cascade is heating my house atm.. :-)

[George_o/c]

thx guys! :-) .., 1) feels like the 280 cards just wait for the right chip.., then they will go ballistic.., :-)., LN2 will come.., 2) cascade is heating my house atm.. :-)

1) Nehalem's on the way my friend ! :yepp:

2) How's that possible ? :D :ROTF: cascade and heating don't go together :p:

j/k m8 :)

hehe, the Tek9 3.0 is the best for this hot card:up:

Start to test mine, not very lucky one but I must to say that the 26° in my room doesn't help:(

The vga is really hot and during a full '06 run suffer over 720/1200/1540:shakes:

[fubarswe]

Looking good! :-) You will love the raw power in these cards.., they have so much of it.., they eat 9650´s for breakfast, lunch and dinner.. :-)

[k|ngp|n]

Keep it up fubarswe :up: They scale awesome in vantage when you freeze them.

[Vivi]

SICK results !
that 1007 FPS in Nature looks awesome
what LOD did u use?

[XCheater]

the HD4850 900/1100 in 3dmark01 is more than 90000
in 3dmark03 30000
I hope there is someone comparing 900/1100 4850 in CF to tri SLI 280GTX

[fubarswe]

Keep it up fubarswe :up: They scale awesome in vantage when you freeze them.

Thx! I will see what I can do.. :-) I looked at your frozen results with these cards and I realize the potential.., awesome! :-)
