i found nemo 3650 single card single core cpu single channel
wow worst part is, even i'm single :( lol let's get some more ppl benching.
unmodded 8800ultra @ stock air cooling

lets see some HD 4000/200 GTX
Toysoldier HD4870 = (18659 points) [q] xx
It gives the same score with CF enabled/disabled, so no CF score :(

heres my initial score with asus top bios...
Seraphiel 8800 Ultra = ( 18040 points ) [q] xx
Intel QX6700 @ stock
XFX 8800 Ultra XXX 685M SLI @ stock

sheesh xfire and sli make all the difference in the world.. wow..
my poor GTX280 only got like 8500 points.
I am using a single card....
single 4870 1GB @ 895/945 cat8.9

I don't really trust open GL benches, they don't seem to scale well across multi gpusQuote:

come on death!
why are there no rv770 or gt200 scores in the list? :D
FireGL and Quadro cards are not faster then normal graphic cards, but they do it more accurately which sometimes even cost performance. However the 8600 FireGL is based of the HD 2900xt which could answer a couple of questions.Quote:

Unlike the desktop cards which loads the model in the CPU memory, pro cards loads the model in the graphic memory which is a huge boost for those types of calculations. This is also why pro cards often has several GB of memory. Both drivers and software must be made with this in mind. Also those who mostly use these kinds of software and pro cards are companies and not normal people at home. Which leads to fewer cards will be sold, so they need to raise the price for profit.
Bottom line is that don't think that you made the wrong investment. Some software require professional graphic cards for some features to work. Features that can double your efficiency. Maybe you doubt ATI and ive made this long post for nothing. If you look at benchmarks that matters, FireGLs are both better and cheaper then Nvidias Quadros.
^didn't think it would be such an extreme slow down in openGL benchmarks since thats what they are intended for. I have seen benchmarks before with ATI vs. NVIDIA and ATI is superior for the $$ by far. I have no real regrets in buying the card for our purposes except the fact that the drivers are not certified with UGNX and it causes quite a few glitches with the display.
Yes, but you are still comparing a HD2900XT against a HD4870.
