15769pts (http://service.madonion.com/compare?2k1=4006732)

first test ?

[dmitriyaz]

looks like...
i think ATI have noticed people's scepticism about the card,
and put up that score to prove themselves.

[Bosw8er]

... within 3 to 4 months the 20K scores will appear ... certainly when LN will be used

[Bulldog]

Yup the first pagers will be at 18k within a hour of it hitting stores

[fredperry]

Maybe it's just me, but seems a bit fishy, no?
hotmail account..."confidential testing"
Wouldn't be the first fake R9700 score...

[Marci]

Was gonna say, would this be a straight default score or would they have tweaked it up a bit...

[UaZa]

check the email account onthe orb..
hehe
strange..

[Gamer]

look at tha Nature score....
wow

[SPQQKY]

Strange fill rates and that score seems a bit low but I am sure it is just the beginning if it is real. I think with a P4 at 3GHz, it should score better.

[calantak]

if i's default on the gpu... that score is big...

[DaGooch]

Seems a little odd because I heard the nature score was approximately 200% of a stock Ti4600. It should be a little higher but it might be an underclocked engineering sample.

[dorokhin]

The high polygon count (8 lights) is way too low. i don't think this is real...

[scrllock]

Holy Crap... Alpha card they say. check out the driver version. 6.13.10.6118
Interesting...

[Bulldog]

Supposdly it's fake, reason one math does not add up,two ATI already has stated that 8500 drivers will not work and thats what driver version they say their useing...

[Raptor]

i'm going to get a R9700 for review on the Portuguese PCguide magazine, and probably going to OC her and post a score on the Orb... :D Let's see how will she behave! :D

[sysfailur]

Well most likely they used a hotmail address to keep their privacy. I'm sure there is a reason for it. Probably doesn't want people spamming his private email :P
