ATI Radeon HD 4000 Series discussion

[mascaras]

Ummm.... hey, am I the only one to notice that these numbers kind of suck, really badly? So, are you guys saying that a yorkfield @ 4.0-4.6GHz (an insane overclock unless you have unlocked multi) with a 4850 is only scoring ~15k in 3dmark06? That really, really sucks.

With my 2900Pro overclocked to 874/1000 and my Q9450 at 3.6GHz, I score 14.5k in 3dmark06. So if those results are real, then yes, that really sucks.

The overclock should be irrelevant. 06 is heavily CPU limited, and I have a 3.6GHz yorkfield, and they have a 4ghz yorkfield. That would be a pretty big balance tipper.

If the 4850 really has 800 SPs and 32 TMUs, then these results are extremely disappointing. Unless it basically doubles it's performance in crossfire, it's going to blow.

you know how much a 9800GTX got in 2k6 ???

9800GTX with Quad @4Ghz = ~15K

so this means hd2900 is good as 9800GTX ??? not even close


3dmark 2006 means nothing !
