GeForce GTX 280 is Three Times Faster in F@H than HD3870

[metro.cl]

i mean the gforce to radeons, it shouldent be a linear comparison, some of the runs should favor one or the other and the results shouldent linear in relation to flops (i assume thats the only metric here)

Not sure how they measured it, but this Gefore is looking like a monster.

True, they really should've waited for AMD to send them a few early 4870 samples to use in their presentation. I know I would have.....

And it is really lame of them to show numbers from their upcoming products at a conference about their upcoming products. How dastardly!

You honestly think AMD owould have sent NVIDIA a card that is yet to be released, and not high end, to be put against the high end?

everyone is forgetting that the GT200 will fight the 4870X2
lets assume a single 4870 is 50% faster then an 3870 (50% more shaders, 50%more TMU, higher shader clock, high speed DDR5)
A GT200 would be twice as fast as a single 4870 (300% / 150% = 2)
So it will be equally as fast as a 4870X2 (F@H scales quite linear)
i dont realize how this is such awesome new?

Maybe becasue NVIDIA didnt support F@H before? + shows the power of the new card.

I hope it is better than this or I hope F@H favors ATI cards, because GTX280 won't be faster than 9800GX2, and certainly not HD4870X2 if it will look like this in gaming.

How can you claim that? you got all 3 cards? and tested them?
