GTX460 1GB or 768MB?

GTX460 1GB or 768MB?

lantic gtx 460 1 gb @ 765/3700MHz with Forceware 258.96

[initialised]

Just got ~95% CF scaling in Vantage.

[Aten-Ra]

the GPU in there is not a 6870, it's a GTX 460, check the screen capture.

Heh, epic fail

Thx

[slaveondope]

did you do them yourself? then thanks, can we get stock speeds too?

its looking like extreme preset is indeed handling better for 6800s, but it also looks like heavy AA is handled better on 5800s

Per request

Just got ~95% CF scaling in Vantage.

Seriously only 1 xfire bridge
Hope they have a good reason why they didnt offer that scaling on the 5series

[Aten-Ra]

Is this a bug or I'm actually seen it right?

Edit: I'm going to bed, too tired to laugh.

Because you trying to be a smart ass too

6870


this is the bench I was referring

5850 @ 900MHz and 10.9

thanks, looks like a great jump for extreme tessellation.

consensus seems to be that they want to sell more 6900s

[RPGWiZaRD]

But due to price it's also less likely for people to buy several expensive cards so it would make sense to have more than 1 bridge on Barts as these would be the cards people would concider running more than 2 with (I personally couldn't care less as I never intend to run multiple cards).

From 20.1 in Heaven to 36.8 so 83% there.

For the price of 3 Barts one could probably buy Antilles which will be all around faster. I just don't see many users going for 3Fire with these cards.When Cayman arrives,it will be probably better than 2 Barts in CF(due to scaling issues in CF Vs single "fat" GPU like Cayman).

Not so clear now eh?

Vantage is not equal to actual games.Not to mention min fps argument for single GPU Vs CF/SLI , "microstutter"(be it a myth or subjective but real thing) ,power draw etc.

Vantage =/= every game outhere.

6850

Hope that one was 1080P, cause we are sooo buying the 6850 ;D

our 4770/x3 720@3,5 scores similar :


BUT 720P ;D

[zerazax]

Those 6850 scores are interesting. Beating a OC'd GTX 460 1GB in games (and not synthetic benches) is impressive, if true. A 6870 might well trounce the GTX 470 then

This is true, I have to admit, but 5870's didn't scale very well on Vantage before thus I think the 6870's in cross fire will beat 5870's crossfire with some ease.

[kadozer]

Already salivating on what a beast Cayman XT is going to be.

This is early drivers too....

Seems good. Unknown if 6850 or 6870.

[vengance_01]

Not impressed at all. I will sit tight with my GTX 465--> 470 and the Core sitting at 800 with more headroom left.

68xx series are aimed marketwise against 460 nvidia.... seems like your still messed up with the naming schema...

yes sit tight with your heater @800 for a while with headroom
nvidia just doesn't drop the 470 price without a reason, wait for the reviews.

I'm not impressed that you're not impressed. you got a really good price for a 470 and you're not impressed by a cheaper card months later. definitely not impressed.

It's not like newegg does same day shipping. If they sold them today we'd have them tomorrow without any issues.
