[Luka_Aveiro]

Specially in the age of 360 ports

yeah, that annoys me too...

I want a high performance low profile card for SFF computing powa. Something that is stronger/same as 9800GTX with less heat and powerconsumption. And of course, atleast 50% cheaper.

Thanks.

[tenebre]

looking at those Crysis benches 1920x1080 should be playlable with 4870x2, assuming they fix multi-gpu scaling

,, put some nice OC and we go 2560

it seems like nordic hardware is convince that 4870/50 has 800SP

i hope thats true, maybe that'' give nv a run, but again i am pretty much locked up at the gtx 280

new benches

[Philip_J_Fry]

i was gonna say "that'll" ... bahh typo

anyway wow!! seems like GTX 280 is the card for DX10 games, but sadly COJ = ATI game, and WiC, Lost Planet are nv games ... so in the end its all about who gets most support fram game developers....sadly ...

as for nordic:

yeah it looks like its 480 from too many sources

[SoulsCollective]

No, it's real. RV770 has 800SPs. GPU-Z is simply outdated.

Andreas mate, can you give any kind of confirmation of this? IMHO NH is definitely up there on my list of reputable sources, but there's just too many other sources, with (apparent) benchmarks and/or screen grabs, showing that RV770 only has 480.

Fake, they don't even have a 4870 and it's not 1.3x the 4850 in ANY case. Not even 3DMark Vantage Extreme where it's supposed to race up the ladders.

But obviously this is posted for some other agenda

[Philip_J_Fry]

like what? agenda

[Hornet331]

But obviously this is posted for some other agenda

lol i seconed that, what agenda?

i just forwared a link with new benches that wern't posted so far.

Graphs are never the only things that matter. From writing style and bench options, you can see how people get paid.

@Hornet, not you, the site.

[Hornet331]

I can read Chinese, the wording is like a ****ing BLOWJOB to nVidia.

ah ok, it a good thing that at least some people here can read chinese.


anyways, one week and we know the score from the nv cards.

[Philip_J_Fry]

well, google translate suggest that the title is:

"Believe it or not GT200 & HD4800 comprehensive performance comparison"

so i guess we should choose not to? lol

[waver_01]

R700 will reign if those charts are true, by a lot

lol change is good though

w1zzard has said that he did not really have any official information from ATi on their cards. He knew there would be 160 shader processors but he didn't know if they were 3D or 5D scalar units, 480 or 800 ALUs in other words. 5D would be logical since that's what has been used in the R(V)6xx series, but most rumours suggested 480 so he assumed 480 and put that in the GPU-Z database. He recently said he will be getting a card soon and will then change GPU-Z accordingly. Also GPU-Z gets a refresh every time a new card is released, this is because GPU-Z is mainly a database and he (w1zzard) has to keep it up to date.

AusPC market in Australia has the 4850 listed for preorder for $258.50 inc 10% sales tax & delivery. Not too bad at all given that store is regarded as being pricey.

Some "new" inq info:

[fng77]

sorry about confusing.time issue you know.hope you enjoyed but when you lose hush alright?i said you guys are funny, don't repeat yourself that's not funny.

Sorry Mate . I ment no disrespect, but it that post sounded quite funny.

I now that the graphs you posted are real, Thanks for the info But it sounded like they were faked and that you admitted to being a bad faker, very disapointed with your own work..

[SimBy]

Hmm if those scores are real then 4850 is kinda what I expected but 4870 is only what 10% faster than 4850 at best?! Thats kinda hard to believe.
