The B3D dudes have talked about it a long time before, IIRC during/before the G92 launch period.

It's hard to compare to ATI at that period because the 3850/70 were bad performers with AA on, and only AA would tax memory usage extensively enough to limit you to <1600x1200.


At raw speed tests it's harder to determine, but there are still cases where the 256MB on the 8800GT runs out first compared to the 3850.



There are also cases where the 8800GT 512MB flat-out dies off at 1920*1200 8x AA while the 3870 still holds on, although not very playable. I think this one can be referred to in the Computerbase tests.
