GeForce GTX 280 is Three Times Faster in F@H than HD3870

Mine never got beyond 200W, what did they test it with?

A single Radeon HD3870 has 110W TDP, 3 have 330WTDP.

I forgot combining: 3870X2+HD3870= 190W+110W=300W.

No, not my picture, I would never violate NDA if I had signed it, but since they never even give us a chance to do that, I feel just fine posting things like this ;)

If I had been there I would've made sure to look you and some other guys up :)

^ LOL :D IIRC F@H doesn't run on X2 GPUs nor Crossfire/SLI configs? Also i've heard that you need a beefy CPU to "feed" these GPUs and with the latest WUs even an OCed C2D isn't properly "feeding" these cards (3850/70) :shrug:

Don't worry, when the 4850 comes, $460 instead of $600, 220W instead of 236W, and at least the cards are going to be silent. :up: :D

@Zanzabar
ATI for now dislikes textures. If you noticed, Mass Effect and Bioshock DX9 weren't really texture heavy (close to an 88Ultra), and 16x AF kills a lot of performance that would not hit the nVidia cards.

Do you know if GTX280 stock cooler is loud? G80's weren't :rolleyes:

But if you know, please share your info with us :)
