The Fermi Thread - Part 3

And at 1920 + 8xAA it averages about 5870 because of 5870's lack of memory.

Unimpressive.

Indeed. If the 2GB 5870s really make that much of a difference, then a 5870 2GB is probably in the GTX 480 range

LOLL nvidia resorting to benchmark manipulation in order to pull ahead ??? :O wow... the fail is strong in them

AMD already handed out free Steam Dirt2 keys to reviewers

I just thought of something .

AMD releasing 2GB versions of the 5870 also means that they must be using 10.3+ drivers on the reviews, which is also another good thing for AMD.

Problem seems to be that the dirt2 demo has a problem detecting the gtx470/480 card correctly and runs those cards in DX9 mode.
The full Dirt2 version doesn't seem to have this problem.
