Take that 3Dmark calculator and enter the SM2, SM3 and CPU scores of ANY 06 project you want AMD or Intel, it will not matter. It will match what is reported in the link as the final score. Why? Because the calculations used to deliver your final score are INDEPENDENT of what hardware is used.

Here, go ahead

do a search for ANY project you want with ANY hardware configuration, and take the SM2, SM3 and CPU scores and enter them into the calculator. See for yourself. It will match what is posted.
Like Gautam and some others said, the change in SM2 and SM3 scores has to be factored in. Does this calculater know what those scores will be on a new platform? I guess not. These are INDEPENDANT factors.

Now that leaves the question if the 2900XT 3d score can really change that much in a new platform. Probably not but I'm not sure either.

Let's all wait and see in about ten days.

One more thing, if this personal account by the Inq is untrue - let's never post anything from them again here shall we?
