The Fermi Thread - Part 3

[ethomaz]

And this... GTX 480 sample with 512 SPs and possible 600Mhz (1200Mhz).

Be aware that the 5870 is set as reference card, so those are not FPSs in the graph below, but differences in %.

Tested games, 2560*1600:
Call of Duty World at War, 4xAA, 16xAF
Company of Heroes, Opposing Fronts
S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Clear Sky, NoAA, NoAF
Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood, Maxed
Enemy Territory: Quake Wors, 8xAA, 16xAF
Farcry 2, DX10, HDR On, 4xAA
Crysis Warhead DX10
Dawn of War 2, Ultra
Fallout 3, Ultra, High-Res Texture Pack
HAWX, DX10, SSAO Very High, 4xAA
Resident Evil 5, DX10, Maxed
Wolfenstein, 8xAA, 8xAF, Maxed
Batman: Arkham Asylum, NoAA, Maxed

The scores were a little higher for the ES card with the second set of drivers but nothing record-braking.

Core temp idle was 58C, core temp load around 86-90C, which was good.
It's laud, but not 5800Ultra.
In the tesselation tests, the GTX-ul won with +53% vs 5870, but this is as relevant as the 5-point parallelism issue where the The tesselation performance wasRAdeon wins with 350%+.

Idle power is at least 3 times that of the 5870 and the drained power at load was 283W. The official 480 will have less drained power because it will have a whole shader cluster disabled.
