The mention of asking Nvidia about the TDP is interesting but they are in fact right. TDP is not max power draw like people seem to think. That said though obviously Nvidia took a liberty testing as they did as it turned out to be misleading ( ie AMDs TDP claim is more grounded in reality ) It was a PR move if you ask me. 250watt looks better marketing wise than the more realistic 300watt when comparing to the 5970/295.Originally Posted by trinibwoy
It is still impressive how well it scales with clock speeds. I could only imagine what how this would do with a node shrink and the full core amount... I'm sure it may even trade blows with the 5970. Thats said though, can Nvidia out a shrinked fully operational Fermi based consumer gpu before AMD refreshes their line ( even if it means holding the PR crown for a short while )
@japamd
Yeah most people are seeing similar dips like that... Im really curious how justin managed 31 with 3 5870s... i wouldnt think a 3rd would magically make the min go from sub 10 to 30 but perhaps? I do notice he didn't use af in that test so just perhaps... I'm interested to see now if AF somehow nukes performance in Unigine on 5 series hardware..
