[Denny] ATi HD2900XT 9.5" 1GB GDDR4 testing 56k warning

[guess2098]

no surprise that its faster then 8800 Ultra in 3d mark 05, but other
3D marks its still little behind..nice work denny....

Cat 7.5's used in these tests ?

i forget to change to 7.5... i will try it maybe tomorrow or next week


here is some 16x+4x weak CF testing, 1st card @ stock clocking and 2nd card @ 500/500 clocking (much lower than stock clock speed)


3Dmark03.......................60120
3Dmark05.......................26586
3Dmark06.......................19390


just like Kinc said, CF uses less CPU overhead
also 01 doesn;t really benefit when CF enable

according to coolaler
3D06 701/1163 SLi.............19819

3D03 685/1150 SLi.............69224

Right 2 cards and less CPU usage with CF.
But let we talk freely, when will this card hit retail ?
1-2 mounts when g80 will be 1 year old architecture and will be cheaper for sure. Now we have ~500$ for GTX and due to less heat overclocked can beat 2900XT 1gb GDDR4 even in 3dmarks comparing your scores. All ATI drivers right now are on open beta state, so in games there is no need to compare them even
I think last year ATI made lots of disappointments and this card, would be the continuation of the saga
