ehh, we've known for a while now what the 4850 will look, and the 4870 should look a lot like the 2900xt (more so than the 3870 anyways). At this point, we need benchmarks, not images imo

look all I'm saying is that we still have nothing legit to base our thoughts on, and that's starting to bother me especially since launch is roughly 2 weeks away now. And quite frankly I'd like to try to keep this thread on topic as much as I can, I see no reason why we shouldn't be able to keep a legit discussion on the 4k series cards
Because nothing wants to leak out. We've seen scores but without specs it's really hard to justify any of them.
As I said earlier, this is getting ridiculous, like ATI had a gag order on all the OEMs.
Typical AMD BS. I swear, they're totally anal when it comes to any type of real benchmarks or final numbers for a product.Quote:

Receieved a Vantage score of P6466
Any idea what other cards score for Performance? I saw 4850 scores P4085 at http://www.firingsquad.com/hardware/...ance/page9.asp
But that's on a 3.2 Quad
If VR-Zone could only post the CPU results as well, we could make a comparison. I don't know why they didn't include it.
It's not even clear whether there are indeed 480 SPs in RV770.
I think AF was enabled in the benchmarks, no?

A preview of IQ at least
^^
I don't think so, AA was off and so was AAA.
True
I doubt AF was on for the test because Performance mode in 3dmark Vantage is trilinear - it does beat the 3850 by ~50% pretty much by that score though it seems
If Vantage sets Trilinear, wouldn't CCC's AF override it?
CCC always did that for me when I had an 2900XT. I didn't test with Vantage or 06, but for games it does that.
If the benches were done with AF enabled, it would have been specified.
Thing I still wonder is if there's difference in shader and gpu clock this time around, too many rumors suggest either one
Oh man WTH is VR-Zone and all those noob reviewers doing. All application controlled please...
no more HQ AF?..... FAIL. :shakes:Quote:

I experienced better AF with a 7600GT than a X1950Pro :yepp:

That probably shows how placebo this thing is anyway. :p:Quote:
