ATI Radeon HD 4000 Series discussion

[SimBy]

Latest rumours: nVidia score are pretty much reliable ATI's score less at this moment.

Vantage Xtreme settings, 1920*1200+4aa+16af

GTX 280 = X4098
GTX 260 = X3782
9800GX2 = 3608
HD4870XT = X2595
HD3870X2 =2582
8800ULTRA = 2.403
HD4850PRO = X1981
HD3870 = X1440

Just rumours. I think we'll see more benchmarks soon.
Don't shoot the messenger!

Kinda what I expected for ATI but definitely below expectations as far as GTX 280 goes!

What this means is that X2 from ATI would probably win against GTX 280. Since 3870X2 is almost 80% faster than 3870 we can assume 4870X2 to get around X4600 points! Way above GTX 280.

Why? 1 GPU smacks 2 GX2 GPU's to the ground. Not bad I would say. I know people always hope for more power, but seriously, if the GTX-280 is really this fast, then nVidia did a real good job.

Ofcourse it's fast, problem is I think most fanboys expected much faster. And I don't think those numbers for GT200 are true. I think they are higher than that.

It should be like 8800GTX vs 7950GX2 but even more in favor of the GTX because nV has said that this time the preformance increase will be greater than previously.

Unless they talk about 8800GTX->9800GTX

Unless they talk about 8800GTX->9800GTX

They specifically said something along the lines of:

"The transition to the GTX280 from the 9800GX2 will make the transition from the 7800GTX to the 8800GTX look like peanuts by comparison"

I hope that holds true.

That sounds tasty! But I'll take it with a grain (or a mountain) of salt because the transistion from 7800GTX to 8800GTX is like four times better performance for 8800, which is impossible at the moment unless nvidia has done something magical to increase performance.

That wasn't anything Nvidia said specifically IIRC. It was what some website at the event said, so take it with a grain of salt since it wasn't directly from Nvidia's mouth.

And anyways, the numbers are more correct if you compare it to say G80/G92 but not 9800GX2 which is clearly faster than the single GPU offerings of that generation by a good amount
