The Fermi Thread - Part 3

[Solus Corvus]

Well, even on the the DX11 game GTX480 has a leading of close to 20%.

HOWEVER, for NVIDIA to be performing that well in DiRT 2 (a game developed with the close participation of AMD) is a huge step in the right direction.

Good showing in DiRT2, although not enough info on the settings, but 20% up on an ATI happy game is not bad for early drivers.

Dirt2 is also a DX11 title with tessellation - something we have been told repeatedly that Fermi is particularly good at.

It looks like my 30% faster then 5870 guess may have been about right. It's something easily deduced from specs we knew ~5 months ago. It looks like the people expecting it to beat a 5970 were wrong and the people hoping it wouldn't significantly faster then a 5870 were wrong too. But I guess it's hard for those with a deep emotional investment in one outcome or another to reasonably moderate their expectations.
