futuremark is blocking physix enabled cpu scores, i think you can upload it but it doesnt show up in the orb when you search for results, or it doesnt show up in the rankings...

mhm i just noticed the extra bit of text on my physx enabled result

Please note that this result does not comply with the rules defined in the Driver Approval Policy for 3DMark Vantage and will not be visible on default result search on the ORB or on the Hall of Fame. Please ensure that you are using approved display drivers and system software versions provided with 3DMark Vantage or use the "Disable PPU" option.

Either way that score posted is quite bad :s
I'm getting 20219 without physx.

it must be fake then, fermi is going to be twice as fast as their fastest current card...

And what about Cinema 2.0 from ATI. We are always waiting for the "real" Ruby's demo

hmmm dont remember that one... but im sure ati did the same... im not saying its just nvidia, its pr in general... its usually the most funny when they try to convince normal non technical and uninformed customers about the features of their latest products. companies will come up with the wildest claims

i remember intel making a weird remark at idf about nehalem, saying it will cure cancer, reduce the costs of gas and oil and help us explore space... cause thats what scientists use cpus for... still, its a pretty far stretch to claim a small chunk of molten sand will cure cancer and reduce our gasoline bill etc

ZipZoomFly had the Asus GTX 470 listed for $450..... WOW

why wow? isnt it slower than a 5870 which is 399?
i thought it was supposed to be 349?
or do you mean wow as in 100$ more than rumored?

metro 2033 benchmarks at xbitlabs... 5870 performs the same or better as a 295... weird... i thought this was an nvidia optimized game?

See what happens when you base expectations on random forum ramblings? Did the developer claim it was an nvidia optimized game?

I think the game developers never say the games are NVIDIA or ATI optimized, more likely they would deny that even if it was.

I remember when reading the following post of yours about GF100 possible launch date, l was a little worried that the Metro 2033 might be another TWIMTBG game. So why are you surprised that some people might got the same impression based on "random forum ramblings?"

Metro 2033 is supposedly some big TWIMTBP/PhysX title so I'm expecting it to at least paper launch around the same time - March 16th. LINK
