    Oblivion benchmark scores leaked?

    The graphs have been BOTH proven fake. Mods close this please.

    I like how on the Nvidia slide they put the X1900XTX at the very bottom. Took me a while to notice it was even thre at first. Wonder if it has anything to do with the fact that it beats the 7900GTX.

    I can also guarantee you that the Xfire in that slide is running on an RD480 mobo, with who knows what BIOS. I think a properly tweaked RD580 board would bring those Crossfire and SLI scores much closer.
    DFI UT X58-T3eH8 (being replaced with Giga UD5)
    Core i7 920 D0 mostly stable @ 4Ghz
    TRUE 120
    6GB OCZ Platinum 7-7-7 (still in testing
    XFX 4890 1GB @ 1050/1190
    Corsair HX850W
    CM Cosmos S

    Still testing...

    It is probably not just the mobo factor, but the X-fire drivers/methods to be considered.

    It would be nice to see an X-Fire / SLI comparison done on one fo the 975x boards with the new unlock developed from that ULI patch...

    Did that patch ever turn out to work fully? Last I had heard it was kind of a bust...

    I am not sure actually... I know there was one that only worked on the ULI chipsets. Then another modded ULI patch was released later on that worked for the intel boards, but I don't have access to that Mobo, so I am relatively worthless in that regards.

    Yes it does work but only with older drivers...

    are you talking chipset or video drivers, and do you know up to what version?

    Graphics drivers and I know they work in the 77 series drivers but I haven't tested them with 80+ series except for the latest Beta, which caused it to crap out..

    hmmm....makes me wonder if Nvidia did something as simple as implementing some form of a checksum or checkTokenString in its later drivers to prevent this. Hopefully thats all they did so it could be easialy rectified and made to work even on later drivers. Only time will tell.

    I thought Oblivion NEEDED graphics cars with SM3 support. If so, how did they run it on a X850? Or am i misinformed?

    Well, if that was the case then they're pretty much cutting out 80-90% of their market. Like all recent games it supports SM2.0
    Intel i7-3770S l Thermalright Venomous X l Asus Sabertooth Z77 l 8GB G.SKILL Sniper Low Voltage l ??? l Samsung 830 256GB l Areca ARC-1200 l WD Caviar GreenPower 1TB (RAID1) l Pioneer BDR-207DBK l Creative X-Fi Titanium HD l Kingwin Stryker l Antec SOLO II l HP LP2475w

    It will most likely be capable of fodcing SM2, but you will lose a lot of the neat stuff that runs on SM3. Stuff like parallax mapping, for example, are everywhere in Oblivion, and since its a parallax from SM3, it will probably not show on SM2.
    The difference in bumpapping, HDR, and Parallax will probably be like compareing FarCry before and afther SM3. With the SM3 version, they added a lot of neat parallax effects.
