The first published 2P Barcelona 3dmark06 test result - here, on XS

Dumb statement as usual...
2900 Crossfire is also behind X1950XT Crossfire with overall game fps. So the point is what?

the point is that 3d'06 CPU and graphics benchmarks are biased towards AMD and ATI when compared to other (real world) benchmarks, for some reason - i was comparing between AMD and Intel/ATI and nVidia, rather than comparing ATI with ATI - the x1950xt with gddr4 beating the HD2900xt with gddr3 in overall games fps shows some heavy memory bandwidth bias, but that's a side point.

Using VGA charts totally drivers dépendant to conclude on CPU is totally pointless.

i didn't do that, i was just pointing out the stupidly good scores for ATI cards in 3d'06 gfx benchmarks. it helps explain why the 3d'06 world record is held by HD2900xt's in crossfire when they're obviously slower than 8800 GTX's SLI in most games. yes, it was a little offtopic.
