The Fermi Thread - Part 3

[trinibwoy]

i do like this kind of work, but think he can give us something like 4870x2 vs 5870. so we can see how it does vs doubling the old card (i suck at nvidia specs so i dont know what half of 480 would be stats wise)

Yeah that's tricky. There's no 1/2 Fermi equivalent in the GT200 generation to compare to easily. Best you can do is break down the theoreticals but since the architectures are pretty different that won't tell you much either. Average performance advantage over the GTX 285 was ~45% in Nvidia's benchmarks. That's fine for a refresh but kinda low for a new generation.
