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

[XSAlliN]

Mine never got beyond 200W, what did they test it with?

And instead of having a 240W TDP you get a fairly decent 330W TDP, much better indeed

A single Radeon HD3870 has 110W TDP, 3 have 330WTDP.

I forgot combining: 3870X2+HD3870= 190W+110W=300W.

damn dude
you were there?
shame i didn't realise at the time

No, not my picture, I would never violate NDA if I had signed it, but since they never even give us a chance to do that, I feel just fine posting things like this

If I had been there I would've made sure to look you and some other guys up

^ LOL IIRC F@H doesn't run on X2 GPUs nor Crossfire/SLI configs? Also i've heard that you need a beefy CPU to "feed" these GPUs and with the latest WUs even an OCed C2D isn't properly "feeding" these cards (3850/70)

Don't worry, when the 4850 comes, $460 instead of $600, 220W instead of 236W, and at least the cards are going to be silent.

@Zanzabar
ATI for now dislikes textures. If you noticed, Mass Effect and Bioshock DX9 weren't really texture heavy (close to an 88Ultra), and 16x AF kills a lot of performance that would not hit the nVidia cards.

Do you know if GTX280 stock cooler is loud? G80's weren't

But if you know, please share your info with us
