I like how on the Nvidia slide they put the X1900XTX at the very bottom. Took me a while to notice it was even thre at first. Wonder if it has anything to do with the fact that it beats the 7900GTX.
I can also guarantee you that the Xfire in that slide is running on an RD480 mobo, with who knows what BIOS. I think a properly tweaked RD580 board would bring those Crossfire and SLI scores much closer.
Coincidence? Ask mesce....Quote:

this one is swarming the net for a while now.
asfar as i know the Devs on the elderscrolls forum have said that it is fake.
Did that patch ever turn out to work fully? Last I had heard it was kind of a bust...Quote:

Well, if that was the case then they're pretty much cutting out 80-90% of their market. Like all recent games it supports SM2.0
It will most likely be capable of fodcing SM2, but you will lose a lot of the neat stuff that runs on SM3. Stuff like parallax mapping, for example, are everywhere in Oblivion, and since its a parallax from SM3, it will probably not show on SM2.Quote:

Stop discussing this people, it's been PROVEN FAKE....
