WTF Radeon 3950 as well? Revised RV670 or cut-down RV770 cores?

Interesting to see the SP counts are hidden for an AIB partner while the Nvidia cards are already out and about - either ATI is really confused or unsure or they're keeping a tight lip on the SP counts and have something up their sleeves

Now I´m confused. That sound very intersting thou. Looks like the new Nvidia is going to be a real powerhouse too. I still gonna stick to ATI. I´ll probobly end up buying two 3870:s when the price drops. But it would be really sweet with two 4850..

Then:

1. Not properly configured.
2. Bad eyes

AF quality: NV 7 series < ATI x1XXX < NV 8 series

Both properly configured at 16x (HQ in ATI) and Max Quality Textures, and I really liked nV's anisotropic filtering better.

It couldn't have been bad eyes cuz I wear glasses, while wearing them my vision is perfect

1GHz DDR3 for the 4850 is better than i thought. 625MHz Stock core clocks are a bit low, but to be expected with the single slotted cooler.
That does mean enormous headroom for overclocking though . I am definitely going to pick one of these up for some vmodding fun. 60&#37; OC makes for a clean 1GHz

AF is a matter of preference, but technically what I said is correct. Your 7900 just didn't have better AF than your 1950pro.

Wear glasses = corrected (but bad) eyes

It was not a 7900, it was a 7600GT rev B2, 80nm

Anyway that's quite offtopic and is of course a personal opinion

Radeon HD 4850 (RV770PRO) Tested

We have spotted a RV770PRO demo system over at Computex and we have checked out the settings of the beta Catalyst drivers for RV770 series. The card can be easily overclocked to 700MHz core and as a result, the score for 3DMark Vantage is P6466.

how much do the 3850 and the 3870 ?

[Hu1kamania]

According to Fud:

A Radeon HD 4850 card on a Phenom 9850 system clocked at 2.5GHz can score slightly over 5000 in 3Dmark Vantage.

holly smokes!... keep it rolling, and I might go shopping with my vacation money!

I don't think this is genuine score...Check the figures of the subset scores and the final score..

From B3D:

Anyway, I got some updates.

The X4100 number for the GTX 280 was correct with the drivers at the time. Seems that NV was able to push it to X4800 with the latest drivers. They might add some more points when they enable PhysX on their GPU, but that kinda goes against Futuremark rules... since a PPU can assist for a higher score and not a GPU... this could add up to 1000 points in the CPU test... so we'll have to see what Futuremark decides about including the PhysX into the score....

But here's what you all wanted to hear.... According to the same source R700 scores about X5500> in Vantage.
Oh and my buddies at VR-Zone tested a HD4850 OC 700Mhz. P64xx score in Vantage.

[Hornet331]

meh still, R700 is cf on board which is a nogo for me.

[AliG]

meh back at ya, you have no idea whether or not it will have microstuttering issues etc yet because the bridge was completely redesigned to make the 2 gpus act as 1 rather than just 2 linked through xfire


if the initial results come out and its still just regular ol' xfire on a single pcb, then you can say the gtx 260/280 is more worth the money

Idiotic question. What is the difference between the different prefixes in front of the vantage scores, such as P and X?

p = performance bench
x = xtreme bench

"At the Computex you can see gigabyte-packages from HD 4850, GTX 260, 280 and - this is surprised - HD 3950. It is not sure, if this card is an official AMD-product or only a Gigabyte-product"

Did AMD rename HD 4850 to HD 3950 and HD 4870 to HD 4850? and has some unknown super card to take the 4870 name?

As said, it relates to different presets. In Vantage you have different settings levels, with Xtreme being the most demanding on your hardware. Thus you can only directly compare scores from one preset with others also from that preset.

well the 4870's code name is Trojan

1 just a cool name
2 a deception or surprise
3 it's not a video card, but allows safe sex over the net

[Monkeywoman]

i chose option 3, but thats just me...

[bill_d]

could give a whole new meaning to the term booth babes!
