C'mon, people - start benching. The 8.12 hotfix w/ SMP optimizations is available at AMD's site, already!
That 8.12 hotfix has been available since December. The Version number hasn't changed.
Looks like Nvidia is a bit ahead on lower settings, while AMD dominates the high res/aa/aniso where the GTX 295 runs out of memory. Out of the two I would pick the 4870X2, mainly because it seems more future proof (more memory, DX10.1, possibility of enabling side port, further away from theoretical performance so possibly more performance to be extracted with new drivers.)
And it's cheaper.
BTW, that ComputerBase.de loads super fast for me, I can't remember a faster site than that (I'm not kidding) and only Gmail may come close.

Probably not... I would imagine the one they used is an early beta of 9.1 which would not be the same as the 8.12 hotfix.Quote:

I downloaded that driver and surprise surprise the executable was identical in size, down to the last byte, as the one i downloaded on christmas eve.
Install it and check driver version, it is an updated driver.Quote:

EDIT: They only added some minor changes to it, so I wouldnt think that the package size would differ that much. I cant get it to install so I cant really say for definite.
Checked in Device Manager - its the same driver revision as mine, too.
Does not really matter, it is still a messed up install when you use more than 4GB of RAM anyways. Wish they would really fix that.
I am curious those. The crysis leap was pretty big(freakish actually).
Did they do an image comparison test, because that seems like a rather large leap for just a single driver revision. And its not like NV the only one who has done some shady stuff.
It strange to see how much it scales better than simply double the numbers of the 4870 1gb. It really doesn't have the memory advantage. And yet at some of the lower resolutions its score 44% percent better that simply just double the numbers of the 4870 1gb. Is that even possible? We all know in reality side port just a really fast communication between the chips so we basically hit the max potential of crossfire which is 100 percent scaling. How is it they are getting 44 percent more performance than that even?
I post it 2 days ago in Guru3D HIS 4870 review!

Is it that hard for nvidia to beat down 4870 X2? poor nvidia
Try again...Quote:

73402 is 8.561.3-081217a and 73652 is 8.561.8-081216a.
so are you saying 73402 is this new 9.1 beta?
Yes.Quote:
