yeah, especially the high resolution results, those don't seem realistic as if the card does have 800 SP or even 480 SP with a shader clock then it will definitely be starving for bandwidth at the really high end. I concur, 4850 results look legit, 4870, not so much

The slides on the actual website are old X_XQuote:

Havok vs nvidia physicx aka ageiaQuote:
AMD and Havok announce plans to optimize physics processing on the AMD platform
SUNNYVALE and SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. — June 12, 2008 — AMD
(NYSE: AMD) and Havok today announced plans to jointly investigate
the optimization of physics effects utilizing AMD’s full line of products.
With over 100 developers and 300 leading titles already using Havok’s
physics engine - Havok Physics – the company has clearly defined its
position as the leading developer of game physics. By working
together, both companies are demonstrating their commitment to open
standards and continued support for the needs of the game
community.
“As the complexity and visual fidelity of video games increases, AMD wants to take advantage of opportunities to improve the game experience,” said Rick Bergman, senior vice president and general manager, Graphics Products Group, AMD. “By working with the clear market leader in physics software, AMD can optimize our platforms to consistently deliver the best possible visual experience to the gamer.”

This is weird.
As far as I remember, Intel acquired Havok.
Yes, but Havok is still independent.
An independent, wholly-owned subsidiary of Intel.
In much the same way as AMD acquired ATi, and ATi continues to license Crossfire to Intel :up:Quote:

exactly my point, the 4850 results could be legit, but if they are, the 4870 results are fake, the other is also possible, but if the card does have 800 shaders I doubt it
You're right.Quote:

4850 crossfire result?
If that is true, one word: IMPRESSIVE! :eek:
Impressive if true, I had no Idea crossfire scaled that well.Quote:

CPU doesn't have nearly as large of an effect on vantage as it did in 06 ... especially in the extreme preset. Wow, and a 4850X2 will be even faster due to the shared memory pool. Nvidia is about to get :owned:Quote:

And finally, the score of the GTX280 of X4800 was on the same CPU as this crossfire setup. Says so in the first post of the linked thread.
Look at the latest response other person doesn't know what they are talking about.Quote:

3.0 ghz X5000 score
Plus every other review has shown a 3.0 ghz cpu.
This is the first 4.0 I seen in any of these leaks.
Ok. Not much difference though, as vantage is not a CPU benchmark like 06 was (though 06 is a great benchmark on highest graphics settings), and it becomes even less of a CPU test on the extreme preset. If this is just 4850 crossfire, wait for 4870 crossfire and the 4870 X2 .... not even to speak of the dual 4870X2s .. :up:Quote:
