so you really have two different version of GTX280 at launch date?Quote:

where did all the people complaining about the "fake" crysis benchies go ? i'm waiting for your input now
errik89: i know they have been posted everywhere and i'm wasting my time trying to contain this now. because then i can tell the judge "at least i tried" so he won't send me to nvidia's factory to make graphics cards for the rest of my life for punishment
Seriously why would any1 be ebothered so much about the thread, I'm not the slightest bothered by that it's removed. Let's just look forward instead. :)
Honestly such punishment wouldn't sound so bad to me. *j/k* :rofl:Quote:

Haha, you make it sound funny, but seriously. How serious are the consequences for you?Quote:

do you see anything wrong with the settings? we are using the benchmark_gpu timedemo with multiple runs because the first run is really low because of hdd accesses.
if you say the scores "are too high" - they are consistently high through all our cards, right? so the relative positioning is correct?
crysis does not support AF at all? then our graph titles are wrong
wizzard
you don't need to prove anyone here that your scores are legit
no quality issues with TPU here that's for sure ;) :up:
i really see no big deal that you are using an overclocked system. Afterall review sites should go into detailed explanation what CPU bottlenecking is and pros and cons of overclocking and its impact on GPU performance considering the fact we are now entering the age of monster GFX cards
looking forward to your full review when it comes out soon :up:
The scores DO seem a little high.
It wasn't too long ago the [H] put up an article outlining the reasons and methodology behind their "Real" testing, as opposed to using canned benchmarks. As justification, it was shown how drivers can (seemingly) be optimized for specific benchmarks, rather than the game the player actually plays. By way of demonstration, they showed how the Crysis benchmarks were showing considerably higher framerates than could be reasonably expected within the game itself, to the point where a hardware setup that gives an acceptable benchmark may not actually yield a playable experience. Without getting into the gritty debate over whether that's true or not, the bottom line is that they were finding real world performance to fall short of the benchmarks. Whereas you seem to be getting numbers that are actually BETTER than the benchmarks, at the given settings.
So with all that in mind, I'm a little interested in what kind of a demo/situation you use to create you own numbers. Is there something distinguishing that would account for most of the difference? Just curious, now that it's been brought up.
Correct me if I am wrong but could it be that at 1024x768 the scores are CPU limited.Quote:

yeah i know
not completely cpu limited, otherwise there would be no difference between the cardsQuote:

I personally prefer to use Crysis Benchmark Tool v1.05 and "Sphere" timedemo is a good one imo.
no worries. I only saved it to two harddrives... still i get to gloat over knowing 3 days early...Quote:

at 1600x1200 we do use AA. sorry that screenshot was only from 1024x768 where there is no AA indeed.
hrmmm

thats an 1:1 capture from 1600x1200 4xAA .. looks like no AA ?
http://img.techpowerup.org/080614/Capture337.jpg
crysis says AA is on?!!
and thats the result on 3870 X2 .. 1600x1200 4xAA:
===== Crysis =====
Average: 28.6 FPS
Minimum: 20.9 FPS
Maximum: 32.6 FPS
my existing review data says 29.1 so no difference
Difficult to say from that small pic but it really looks like no AA but I highly suspect it didn't use any AA in the tests u ran or otherwise I'll have to agree with the others that FPS just is too high. I get like mostly between 10 - 20 FPS with my 8800GT in 1600x1200 with AA4x. To me numbers looked normal for no AA performance though.Quote:

omgz it seems that the benchmark script for crysis ended up using the wrong resolutions :banghead:
Yes, on that point we agree and NP as to stretching the issue.Quote:
