I love the suspense...I am between the new 939 AGP DFI and a new PCI-E board depending on these results.

check opps thread for info
omg look!

out of the box, 7800 gtx sli scores 26k in '03! and 11k in '05

Would be nice if they had a X850XT in there instead of a X800XL :confused:
Castle sampsa will be in ruins if they dont open the doors soon ;) :

And yes he has his cascades on ... but has only posted water results :D

Bump :rolleyes:

I think we guys should leave Sampsa alone. NDA or no NDA he does not have to show results right now, next week or at all. Its his hardware(which some assume its a g70)and its his to do what he wants. I can see you guys are excited to see results, just check out the chinese review site for now and shortly other review sites will have their results. Let Sampsa have his fun in peace :)
Oh my.....16k in '03...stock?Quote:

Actually, most every large HW manufacturer has some sort of "office" here in Silicon Valley. But you're forgetting that AMD is based here as well. ;)Quote:

comments: wow o wow todays cpus are such a bottleneck one or two 7800gtx makes no difference! Two 6800u is pratically even with two 7800gtx due to cpu bottleneck! One x800xl is faster(due to better drivers) than any Nvidia card and only slightly slower than one or two 7800gtx at 1600x1200 aa/af!

comments: at 1024x768 the cpu is 100% bottleneck but the x800xl once again is ahead due to ati's better drivers. At 1600x1200 the much more expensive 6800u is only 10% ahead and the 7800gtx is only 18% ahead of the 6800u because its badly being held back by todays cpus so it cant shine. SLI is utterly pointless with todays cpus!
http://www.hardspell.com/newsimage/2...-256549268.gif
We see a big gain in 3dmark 2003 with SLI, more than 50% but too bad todays cpus hold you back in games so the gains are very small, if any! However one 7800gtx isnt much faster than what an x850xt could get(not shown in review)

SLI is more than useless, it has a 10% cpu overhead so bye bye goes some of your fps! The sad thing is some people dont realize this so they spend $$$$$ on SLI and LOSE performance! The way I see things, dont bother with SLI unless you wanna run 3dmark 2003 and 2005 all day long! There is a difference to the tune of 18%(6800 vs. 7800) but frankly no normal human eye can see a difference, even the x800xl is way overkill!
There are more results but the website is so slow I dont want to bother. If you want a 7800gtx, go ahead, its really only useful for 3dmark 03/05 and other synthentic GPU based tests. Games show small benefits but youd be hard pressed to notice it in actual game play, just benchmarking. Is it really worth $650 for a 7800gtx vs. a $250-300 6800gt(most oc to ultra anyway)for 10-20% more fps in games when a 6800gt just laughs at any game you throw at it?
GF4, the benchmarks are there, people can decide for themselves. We do not need your opinionated analysis of them. And I'm SURE you will be saying an X800XL is overkill once unreal3 and quake4 engines come. I wouldn't be supprised of they murdered 6800 ultras. Hell a 6800GT would have problems running current games in wide screen, max detail and AA/AF.
Let us see Doom 3 benchmarks then since Half Life 2 is a ATI game.
:lol: sweet photo, man! Cool idea! Now, put it in and fire it up ;)
how many hour to show results sampsa?? i got lost on the time zones
Since Oppainter is showing his water cooling results, here is mine with STOCK COOLING
Holy Mother °_°

These cards do seem to be getting nice overclocks, why nvidia decided to release at 430 is strange, you'd think 450 would have been a better bet and then 500MHz for the Ultra's later.
A 500/1400 Mhz 512MB Ultra must surely be on the cards now ?

15633 was graphics cards with stock cooling, FX-55 San Diego with LN2 cooling.
I tried them under LN2 with Kamu but looks like there is a serious cold bug. Also there are some problems with the Coolbits overclocking tool when I'm trying to overclock the cards beyond 525/1380, I get internal test failure all the time and if I somehow manage to get the clockspeeds higher performance drops seriously.
I heard Shamino has similar problems with his cascade.
How much ya want for em???? Name a number, any number :pQuote:

that sucks, nvidia really messed up this time, thought they perform good on air and water. R520 will own the orb big time if it has no cold bug (i dont a ati card that has it)
