GeForce 9900 GTX & GTS Slated For July Launch

[zerazax]

People are saying its both a dissapointment and improvement. Obviously, it's the fastest single GPU out there, but it still won't conquer the elusive Crysis 2560x1600 without multiple GPU's so take it for what its worth. Also, I'm hearing rumors now that in some games especially towards lower reses, the gap between say a GX2 and GTX280 won't be that big whereas at high reses (1920x1200+) you'll see it really shine. Somewhat makes sense, since those are some ridiculous specs and so the card might be well future-proofed. And that's not a bad thing - having > GX2 performance in a single GPU is quite amazing. The bigger issue to me is whether the cost and power usage is worth the performance vs. other alternatives, which there aren't many at my resolution.

Obviously it makes sense: besides Crysis, no game out there is really so demanding that the G80 GTX/Ultra and G92's cant handle at 1600x1200 and lower and the complete power of the GTX280 may not even be used at medium-range reses and lower

yeah, honestly at 19x and no AA there's no jaggies for me @ very high
the trees leaves are still the worst I've seen in any game though

ps1 games had less fugly jaggy leaves

All this obsessive talk over Crysis numbers gives me bad images of 14 year olds with freckles sitting behind their rigs shouting out "ZOMG YOUR RIG CAN'T DO 1920 AA IN CRYSIS ZOMG !!!" - scares the crap out of me

Very True, Crysis is indeed the most demanding game around.

Im confused is the GTX280 the 9900GTX or are the 9900GTX's at totally new chip at a smaller NM coming back end of this year as someone has told me.

Well, around 1,000 comments on my videos and 400 (yes 4 freakin hundred )
private messages confirm your viewpoint

So we wount see benchmarks soon right?

So we wount see benchmarks soon right?

someone will break the nda,
google search the chinese sites and eventually some will pop up

[BenchZowner]

Which most of the times provide people with fake benchmarks

[zerazax]

They were pretty spot on with G92 and RV670

[Jowy Atreides]

Which most of the times provide people with fake benchmarks

well yeah,
but I was assuming that the searcher isn't a complete narutard with no common sense

to restate without assuming this.
Search chinese sites, disregard any old charts/graphs

no-named poorly represented name charts and if the site has the words inquirer or fudzilla on it then ignore

use googles feature to block the fund and inq,
also vr-zone and vrzone as the (now old) vr stuff is EVERYWHERE

remember to search taiwan too

and happy bench hunting


Edit: to give you a basic Idea.
Mess about with a template similar to this,
change the country and in page settings

Sorry bud, I was tempted to do that

are you serious?

I have the beta, it's nowhere near the hardware requirement of crysis

a 9800gtx can handle AOC

My eyes stopped reading once I saw the link

depends what you mean by handle. 1920x1200 2xAA 8xAF all high settings + HDR brings my 8800GT to its knees. by that i mean 30fps or lower, I need at least 40 to be a happy camper, err ganker

I didn't say 8800gt
