[zanzabar]

that looks like an awesome piece of photoshop work
edit (which fails when you notice the vertical lines of different shades of white background...)

[SpuTnicK]

That is one good looking FAKE!!!

that's definately a fake. just look at the pattern of the gpus. both gpus have exactly the same shading and texture.

makes me wonder why these people don't put more effort in modifying copied parts - it always seems like as if they want people to see it's a fake especially since everything else in this fake was done pretty well.

lol there are no vmods on that Homoshop

The numbers for GTX 460 768MB and 1GB are very wrong....

Guru3D got 53 FPS for the 1GB and 46 FPS for the 768MB.

Settings:
Baja Iron Route 1
8x Anti-Aliasing
16x Anisotropic Filtering
All settings maxed out

I never played Dirt 2, but is there anymore demanding levels then this?

You're right pals ! Numberz doesn't seem accurate concerning GTX 460

not to sound dumb. but is it possible they forgot to turn on dx11 in that test guru3d?
the bottom chart which has 5000 series cards shows the 5850 just ahead of all 460s, which i though would have demolished it with tessellation on

heres from TPU which DOES NOT have dx11 enabled


notice that in this with 4x AA vs 8x,
the 5850 is 77fps vs that one being 64
and the 460s are 58-61 vs 46-62 (alot of cards compared in the guru3d article)

im under the impression guru3d did not turn on dx11 settings. otherwise it somehow seems like it was "free"

[xdan]

Palit Sonic Platinium GTX 460(800/4000) scores 61 FPS .
We will see but Ati can do that much magic, i mean you think that a 960SP card will equal an 1440SP( 6850= 5850? ) , and 1120SP = > 1600SP( 5870) ?
I don't think so.
I think that 6850 performance will be between GTX 460 768MB an 1GB closer to 1gb version( between 5830 an 5850), and 6870 will be above GTX 460 1GB an slightly above 5850 more or less, so between 5850 and 5870.

So DiRT2 has SLI issues? GTX 295 loses to HD 4890?

[xdan]

Anyway, the drivers from GTX 460 launch reviews were 258.90, than was 260.63 added some more performance and today Nvidia launched another driver 260.89(WHQL this time), probably because of 6850/6870 launch....

1900X1200 DX9 and DX11 :

[image removed]

wow thats interesting chart

5850 went from 63fps to 55 (highest settings before/after dx11)
460 1GB was 81 to 55

thats a massive drop. and i thought the opposite would have been true

To all Quoted: If the reviews aren't using the same CPU... it's not apples vs apples.

Whats your point?

Guru3d used Core i7 965 @ 3750 MHz
and we dont know whats used in the 6870/6850 vs GTX460...

Try to find if results are possible or not ... Nothing more

[demonkevy666]

I don't see how that card can preform better, with the same amount of tessellation units as 5870 or perhaps a bigger one ?
where's the heaven 2.1 benchmarks ? lol

[Particle]

Four crossfire connectors and 17 memory ICs? That's not even a very good photoshop.

[SKYMTL]

90% of the Dirt 2 numbers I have seen in reviews seem to be incorrect due to the use of the early stand-alone Dirt 2 benchmark, improper implementation of forced DX11 or using an old version of the game engine (patches have increased performance quite a bit).
