do i just imagine this or does every new videocard release is accompanied by more and more fakes?
This reminds of when R600 was about to be released and they made the same thing, 21k points on 3Dmarks06 is just too high is like 3 RV670 doing tri-Crossfire to get those results. It is hard to think a card that will cost $300 to $400 good as this. If this is true, Nvidia is out of business. lol 99,9% is fake.
Metroid.
Looking at the GT200's rumour from the other subject, the score is not impossible . Sources claimed that GT200 will have a GX2 variant .

We have absolutely no idea how valid these results are...... Let me state that anyone can make this stuff up and re-produce some nice charts.
Oh, and its may now, so where are they? o.O
Quite simple. Its early may, sources said LATE may.Quote:

That, and people are greedy for their own site traffic thus would post up fake results to get more views.Quote:

I'm not trying to flame anyone, but gosh don't people ever pay attention? You'd think that people would have at least read the thread but the same fakes have been posted at least 3 times in some cases and the same questions brought up over and over again.
I like both companys dont get me wrong I game alot and ati drivers arent very good for DX10 games and older titles that I play.Quote:

I WAS TALKING ABOUT THE DRIVERS, NOT PERFORMANCE.
Sorry, Nvidiots like to troll a lot nowadays and feel all superior with yet another model of the recycled and reused 8800 chip.
:clap: for you all that have Nvidia cards and notice higher scores in benchamarks :clap: You win a :clap: Well done, and enjoy your Nvidia card with some :clap:

Correction as this is going too far off, R600 = HD 2900 XT.Quote:

It's annoying as I play VP3 quite often, but so far it's the only bug of this sort I've found. And to think that the 9800Pro with the drivers that were out 2-3 years ago I didn't have this problem... :rolleyes:Quote:

Star Wars Jedi Academy didn't work with Cats 8.2 and before with 3800 cards, but HD2x00 was fine. Weird problem huh? Just submit a ticket to them, when I did it in less than a week they told me the issue was fixed in the 8.3 and voila, with 8.3 and 8.4 JKA is working perfectly.
If you guys have an issue with the drivers, report it to them, I'm sure if it's easily fixable they'll do it like they did with mine :up: They will never fix the Crossfire thing though.
But wasn't that one proven to be a fake?Quote:

when have they ever been very good? I think you're thinking of fudzilla, fuad has been a lot more consistant than Charlie and is generally correct (or at least closer than charlie)
Indeed. The Inquirer does tend to need to be taken with...Quote:

hey that be the picture I posted up last time:p:
That's the picture that is guaranteed to be posted by someone in every single thread that mentions theINQ or Fudzilla.
That attitude won't get you far on this forum I reckon.Quote:

not quite true, radeons score better in every 3dmarkxx, but not vantage, they get spanked in vantage, most likely that is in no small part due to nvidia (especially since vantage was supposed to offer dx10.1).
But it is also true that so far with the exception of the 9600gt (which is quite an impressive mid range and proves optimization is more important than raw power), so far every nvidia chip since g80's launch has been simply either a g80 derivitive (although g86 was tweaked a bit) or the exact same chip **g98 went from 8xxx series to 9xxx series with absolutely no change**. As for the 9800gx2, that's about to be EOL anyways so I wouldn't quite count that, and even if you do its just sli g92 chips, so nothing really new anyways.
So I reckon you were both a bit right and wrong
