I'm sorry, I never pay any attention to 3dmark scores. Is this a good card then, based on the score it has?

~£110 seems to be a good price.

Score is same as 9800GTX with same cpu, which is a 150-pound card.

It should give the 8800GT ( perhaps even the 9800GTX in some cases ) a run for the money and for a good bit less, so yes its a good card.

If that card is available here for anywhere near £110 i will be pretty surprised.. Make that flabergasted!

**bowman** · 06-12-2008, 01:50 PM

I still remember my 9800Pro.. Oh was it ever awesome. Poor sods with GeForce FX cards.

One could hope this will be a repeat of that, would be nice.

**thebluemeanie1** · 06-12-2008, 01:51 PM

http://www.unleashonetera.com/ is probably the worst website I ever saw, but the cards are looking great.

About 3500 points more than my 3870@850Mhz, system in sig.
Price is good performance in 3dmark not so good. Just my opinion.

3Dmark is not what matters though.

**Dark-Energy** · 06-12-2008, 01:51 PM

Oh man

I really hope they do pull off an R300 again. That would be awesome.

NVIDIA will probably have the performance crown, but ATI will walk away with the price/performance crown. That's not the same situation as it was with R300 but still a good position for AMD/ATI to be in.

**msgclb** · 06-12-2008, 02:09 PM

I hate to play dumb but what is the significance of the term "Unleash One Tera"? Are they saying that with this card they have launched a product that will allow them to planted there flag on the moon? i.e. on Nvidia's behind!

**w0mbat** · 06-12-2008, 02:11 PM

One Tera = One TeraFLOP = 1000 GigaFLOPS

**BulldogPO** · 06-12-2008, 02:13 PM

It would be fine indeed if they could produce card like Radeon 9700 was, oh those golden times

**Helmore** · 06-12-2008, 02:14 PM

And for reference, NVIDIA's GTX280 will have 933 GigaFLOPs.
ATI's 4850 will have 1000 GigaFLOPs and the 4870 will have 1200 GigaFLOPs.

**snipper_cr** · 06-12-2008, 02:15 PM

Hasn't it been determined that the above website is fake? And by fake, not officially controlled by ATI or AMD?

Its confusing seeing nVidia's 9800 card when I still have a box hanging on my wall for a 9800 Pro, 9800 Pro 256 and a 9800XT (No I did not buy all, I traded 1 card up as I went along stopping with a 9800XT). Those were great cards though!

**[XC] gomeler** · 06-12-2008, 02:16 PM

Well that's a nice start. Looking forward to having a few of these cards in my hands, that is for sure.

**DragoonXX** · 06-12-2008, 02:16 PM

webserver is located in berlin...if that means anything at all?

Question: Is the website fake?
Verdict: The website goes through www.cocrea.de, which is an AMD satellite website

They even have an AMD ad on their website

I was so caught up in the graphics that I totally missed it.

**Sparky** · 06-12-2008, 02:28 PM

The 9800 pro still does amazingly well in games these days considering its age. It'll run CoD4 OK at reduced settings

That said, if money works out, the 4870 may be the card I finally upgrade to. I've been holding on to my X1950XT for a long time now, and there are a few things that are starting to show its age.

**DragoonXX** · 06-12-2008, 02:28 PM

well, I never explicitly said anything either way

**gojirasan** · 06-12-2008, 02:33 PM

While I think the AMD engineering department is far behind that of Nvidia, it seems that their marketing department is ahead. I really like that poster or whatever it is. It's beautiful. Everything about it just clicks for me. They shouldn't say "priced for gamers" though. It's obvious that gamers are their entire market. Who else would even buy a GPU? Does any consumer market segment spend more money on their PCs than gamers? We are the big spenders. So when they say "priced for gamers" I am thinking an MSRP of $800+ like the last card that was "priced for gamers", the 8800 Ultra.

Naw, the likes of 8800Ultra is for rich gamers.

That can probably be attributed to Quad Core vs your Dual Core, and 4ghz vs 3.2ghz.

The 3DMark score looks nice, but then one has to remember its done on a quad core running at 4ghz (which while on these forums may be similar to the norm, under normal circumstances is more than an average overclock).

u got it backwards, if ati is faster with the r600 over the g80 with maya, and solid works by like 40-60% then there is somethng wrong when games dont show that, so its NV marketing and convincing devs to make games for their cards is more marketing than engineering

if ati can make a dev program favoring them its amazing the performance on both platforms

atleast this will put the 800shader claim to bed
