Test G80/R600/G92

[dami1stm]

It is with a lot of pleasure and after more hundreds of working hours that I present you big comparative degree of G80/R600/G92 :D

To the program:

8800Ultra/8800GTX/8800GTS 640/8800GT 512/8800GTS 512/2900Pro 1GB & 512 / 2900XT 1GB & 512 stock and later overclocking
5 benchmarks
10 games on 2 resolutions and 2 level of filters
Consumption test with oc cards and not
And lot of other things :up:

If you do not understand French, you can understand the graphics :shrug: :D

for Example:


Crysis 1280X1024 no filters & AA4X Aniso16X

Very nice testing!

[CrayS-per4m]

that is some amazing testing, makes me glad I got my 8800GT :D

[Smokin_Joe]

Damn my GTS 640MB is lagging that far behind? Looks like i might have to upgrade my videocard too. :(

[thebanik]

good amount of hardwork put in there. nice work.

[fragmasterMax]

I think this is what everyone was looking for. Glad to see an up to date review.
I wonder why the 8800gts 512 lags behind the 8800ultra oc? i would think that 256mb less of memory thats 188 mhz slower would be outshadowed by a core that is more than 100mhz faster, and shaders that are 300mhz faster.

[dami1stm]

Because the bus of 256bits is very short for the power of the GPU :up:

[Don_Dan]

AHHH, it's in french... :shocked:





Just kidding, I'm glad I'm able to understand it! You put a lot of work into that, really awesome! :up:

[dertimaushh]

Great work :up:

Happy to see my old 8800Gtx still in the Top.

[fragmasterMax]

Ahh i forgot about that.
Do you guys think will ever see a 512 bit g92 with a gb of ddr3?

[dami1stm]

Not G92, but G100, maybe :D

[railmeat]

so pretty much nvidia pwns the games and intel pwns the power to push the cards...

bought my 8800gtx day it came out last year and it never failed me.
768mem\384 bus is the ticket 1 year later,hands down gtx pwnz still.

It's not that far when you actually look at the numbers. And think of all the people that don't even have an 8800 series card.

[emu002]

nice review, thanks

[shogo_ca]

wOW, BEAUCOUP de travaille, tres utile, merci beaucoup!

[dami1stm]

Thank you, I am satisfied that the test pleases you :up:

Merci aussi à toi l'ami du Quebec :)

[Penguin463]

Looks like a really good comparison, and sadly I don't have that much time to raead it, as I have to run to Calc in 5 minutes >.<

dami1stm how did you get those results with the 2900 in UT3??!

On my 1g 2900pro at 901/999, and my C2D at 3.8GHz (ut3 does not benefit from quad core btw), and 2gb of ram, I get MUCH MUCH worse performance! In DEATHMATCH I get like 60-80fps when not a lot is in view, and with a lot of action or on some maps in general, my FPS drops into the 30s. I play at 1600x1200, max graphics settings, and the catalyst settings tweaked for performance. I have catalyst 8.1, and XP x64.

This is really pissing me off, I want to play the game but it is really annoying getting 30-40 fps with any decent action, even in deathmatch!!!

[btdvox]

Lots of work put into there Good work.

One thing I might like to say is Some of the tests will differ hugely by resolution scale and AA/AF-
Comparing a 8800 Ultra to a 8800 GT/GTS at 1280 w/ 0 AA and 0AF will be a big difference when your running at 1920X1200 w/ 4XAA and 16 X AA and more over even w/ 16XAA and 16XAF.
As thats when the Memory Buffer will kick in to shine!

I little to say a stupidity but UT3 is optimized Quad he seems to me? :confused:

How many bots put you when you make a deathmatch? Or then you speak about party on internet?

I have make the tests with a bench setup.exe and 10 automatic bots.

I'm talking about online deathmatch, with only 5-12 players total.
I thought I have read that people have tested UT3 on a quad core, with all 4 cores enabled, and with 2 cores disabled for ut3.exe and that there was no performance difference. Could you check this? I still can't understand why I get such awful framerates. I knew something was up!

[purecain]

hmm pity you didnt add hd3870.... as it has an improved core, as proved in many benchmarks. also the gtx is now officially owned by the 3870 x2 which is still on beta drivers.... youll need 3 gtx's to match its performance.....

I much finished my test on 8800GT 1Go, next i will test this ;)

PS: sorry for my bad english but, i'm french :D

The test of 3870 is planned for the next upgrade :yepp:

J´ai demande á la lune! =D

[Power5]

What happened in 3d05? I cant read french, but the G80s were way way behind.

[op1e]

Actually I'm glad to see how well my GTS 640 does comparatively (overclocked). Within about 10 fps of the max at the top of the list, and within 5 in the minimum fps. 3870x2 is the only upgrade with noticeable worthwile results for me.

[sunken123]

mate i love you whit this post!!!!! A++++ this is probly one of the best post ive seen so far its give all the info for the latest gpu and performance.Well it did help i was french but even if your english u can understand those benchmark(they say alot)The 8800gts 512 oc beated in alot of situation de 8800 ultra:rofl: cant believe it

Thanks alot

[RAW-Raptor22]

Damn my GTS 640MB is lagging that far behind? Looks like i might have to upgrade my videocard too. :(

Its only 4fps behind the 8800GTS 512MB with AA, and at higher res the extra 128MB will help.
