AMD's Radeon HD 6870 benchmarked? (updated more screens)

Geometry was incredible faster in fermi. I Hope ATi has done some work in that space.

True but somehow I doubt they've been able to address this into 6xxx series (improving tesselation performance is already a great step) and most likely leaving geometry performance improvements for Northern Islands 28nm. A small increase maybe but I don't expect much. As I see it they won't need greatly improved geometry performance and still do very well with SI, NI on the other hand will need it and with 28nm it'll be easier (stay within reasonable die sizes and TDP).

Oh come one, read more careful. The GTX 480 scores are with 4xAA and 16 AF.

So, at 1920 by 1080, 4x AA, 16AF

GTX 480 = 30.5 average fps, HD 6870 is 36.6 fps

According the the leaks, HD6870 is faster than GTX 480 in tesselation/DX11, at the same settings. It's quite obvious actually.

^ Yes I noticed it was 1920x1200 AA4x HD 6870 vs 1920x1080 noAA GTX 480 comparision at first but perhaps it wasn't targeted at me.

I couldn't find initially the right benches but mindfury pointed the Hexus review.. :P
