[Testing] Sapphire X2900XT

[Eastcoasthandle]

I mentioned what I did about 3dmark because someone asked if they should trade their 8800gtx for a HD 2900xt. Follow the quotes starting from my post and you'll see what I mean.

It wasn't hardocp's numbers that I was linking that for. I posted it because there's people giving fake numbers by lowering settings to make it appear as if it's running faster than it is maxed out. Look at v_rr's post in that thread(that's why I linked to page 2, and not page 1), and then read mine afterwards.

That's why I'm having trouble trusting peoples numbers on forums, because I've seen this occur now on multiple sites. In one case, someone was bragging about 193fps in HL2:Lost Coast, and he wasn't even running it maxed out, and it was with no AA.

What people? What people are faking numbers??
I think you are over exaggerating the situation. From what I've read in that thread there were no "people" making fake numbers. You have been making diggs at the HD 2900XT way before those pics were posted. Therefore, I don't believe your trust issues stem from that thread. For example:
"I am torn. X2900XT because I'm an ATi fanboy, or 8800GTS640 for the price?"
this post (in the same thread)
"should I do it? 2900XT for 8800GTS 640"
"8800, but which one"

As you can see you've been making diggs at the HD 2900XT way before that thread was created.
