I totally agree with macci. 450 in GT1 is pure BS.
Whoever faked this cant possible be a 3dmark bencher. Not a smart one anyway.

I have to agree with macci and OPP on this one. It does look like the scores are out of wack and if it was a stock card on a stock system then why not show the system specs. Also I think that its usually the manufacturer who starts these rumors in the first place. If that's the case then IMHO this doesn't bode well for the NV40. The only reason for a manufacturer to start such a rumor is to highten attention to their product hoping to get as many as they can to buy it when it first hits the shelves, before a lot of the reviews come out and before their competition releases their product. This tells me that Nvidia thinks that the NV40 is going to be slower then the new ATIs. Otherwise they wouldn't have the need to start the rumor as the card would just sell itself
even if that score wasnt faked, who cares about fast dx7 performance, those dx9 fps arent looking too good, me thinks the r420 would own the nv40 in dx9 where it counts ;)
Well this card dosn't look promising, but we shall see in real benchies.
Soo photoshoped!
why would nvidia do this? i disagree, if their product isnt going to perform this well then they would not do this... you'll get a whole lot of people with there p4 3.2ee's buying these thinking they'll get over 12k stock and be VERY dissapointed... no this was not the workings of nvidia.
Considering that Nvidia didn't stamp their name to the screen shot they'd have complete deniability. That's the beauty of using a rumor such as this to gain attention to your product. When the guy with the EE is disapointed he only has himself to blame for believing the rumor in the first place
my 9700NP got around 10k in 3dm2k3....
running in 320x240 :lol:
Bah... Nvidia didnt do it. Bunch of reasons...biggest is that I dont think they would :D
They should also be smarter than this guys. Simply bump all scores 25% above Macci's? I think a video card company would be smart enough to pump up nature more etc.
Do you know how many people are going to see this pic before reviews hit? I dont think too many. I dont think I've seen it on the front page of anand, toms, or [H]. Mostly skeptical forum readers and hardware addicts will see it. Don't know. Im just the opposite of some people whom want to turn evrything into a conspiracy.
I do think it's fake - even if a highly OC'd 6800 ultra can do this. It's too sloppy. Your regular hack job by someone with nothing better to do.
I'd have to agree with that logic. I do think they'd made sure more people saw it and certainly would have made it mroe believible. I wouldn't put that past them or any manufacture however, which is why its best to take any of these kinds of rumor with a grain of salt and just wait and see.
Can you say nVidiots?
I dunno those 2 power connectors better be worth something or nVidia gonna get their arse handed to them on a platter...
`s
Maybe you guys like to look here :D
From the 3DMark2003 screens I have seen it looks like this could be the real deal.....
From what I can tell none of the scores posted on this thread are default 3DMark03 scores w/ NV40.
The first pic had about correct overall score but it was obviously faked pic as the game test results were all phucked up (GT1 way too high, 2-3 way too low).
The 14.8k @ NV40 launch is either a highly overclocked card or then the test is ran w/ 800x600 resolution.
I'm hoping that hexus might give game details for 03 when they get the review up.
The problem nowadays is a lot of sites don;t spend too much time on 03 because of the optimisation issues.
Hexus might ???

Definitely 16 pipeline then, but heavily bandwidth limited.
Looks like RAM overclocking is going to pay big dividends as the gpu has enough PS and VS performance compared to nv30.

Thanks Macci, interesting .. got a game by game for 2001 yet ?
Again we see a very nice DX8 result and a slightly low DX9. I'd like to see DX8 nature in 2001 :)

PS Without me looking is that an xbit or ixbt graph ?
If it then I have been browsing their site too much ..

not a bad score, will be interesting when they hit mainstream
another review:
Hardware Analysis :
http://www.hardwareanalysis.com/content/article/1708.4/
if someone would've have told me that NV40 would score 11,800 pts in 3dmark03 @ stock 400mhz/*300 memory about a month ago. I wouldn't believe it. This card is Nvidia's best card since the first Geforce series.
Think about it! STOCK
a stock Radeon 9800 XT is about half that much in 3dmark03.
-edited-
*i meant 600/1200 memory
Beyond3d's nv40 seems to have had 2ns 500/1000 memory and hexus.net seems to have had faster 600/1200 memory, one was overclocked and one was downclocked so that all boards could cope.
I would imagine that when retail boards are out there then 600/1200 will be the minimum.

Andy
nvidia have truly impressed me... the stock score for 03 is outrageous! :slobber: i still havnt read a review, just read all ur comments and the graphs etc.

hes right and we may be seeing 13k stock with better drivers by the time cards come in stores, also thats with a bit of lodbias adjusting ;) but I hear rumors that the x800xt will have over 15k, perhaps 16k stock! :banana:
