The GT300/Fermi Thread - Part 2!

[Dimitriman]

That doesn't look too bad if that's the 470. The new mid/high card from nVidia against ATIs high end single GPU. Just a bit late lol.

I think all DX9 and DX10 benches won't matter much. I think DX11 is where it's at, or rather going to be at in the future.

There is a slight problem with the benchmarks going around demoing GTX470's speed. They are nearly all 2500 resolution which is where the card really pulls very close if not identical scores to 5870. While that is great for the 470, it hides the fact that its still falling behind on lower resolutions. Although overall they should be priced the same IMO since difference is only marginal.

Now.. on the other hand, a 1Ghz clocked 5870 seems to be matching anything Nvdia is throwing out there with Fermi which makes me wonder how AMD will clock and position its refresh 5k series.

PS: If you are thinking that DX11 = Tesselation then maybe there will be differences, but I very much doubt that the results for both cards will differ significantly under DX11. Both are early versions of DX11 cards and by the time its a popular standard they will be replaced by much faster versions.
