    Dude you can't
    1) compare numbers directly across different setups
    2) 2x tess doesn't mean other things aren't going on. The fact it can beat a 5870 despite having less units in the test should tell you things are being boosted somewhere

    Does that make sense to anyone else or am I wrong...


    and those are only refference board for now ... we might get better stuff for non refference boards

    btw will we get an official thread listing all the 6800 reviews instead of this thread???

    What's embarrassing is that some sites took NVIDIA suggestion and actively tested the GTX 460 OCs against the HD 6800 series without providing OC HD 6800 results for comparison.

    I was going to do just that but my life got a bit tangled at the last minute.

    yeah legit reviews seems kinda fishy

    so far techpowerup is the best review, went into alot of detail

    especially this page on OC/voltage

    http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/H...D_6870/32.html

    looks like 1000mhz @1.275v

    a nice update to MSI afterburner should get ride of the CCC limits

    Indeed, good thing I was comparing it with sli. How much fps difference are we talking bout here if they did latest drivers. Care to quantify? No? ok good just take it as face value for what it is and know that crossfire looks good enough looking at the techpowerup review added to the mix.

    2nd edit Here ya go Maxforces AT crossfire: http://www.anandtech.com/show/3987/a...range-market/6
    http://www.anandtech.com/show/3987/a...ange-market/12



    I love that Hardocp included Civ V. That game really taxes any current gen Nvidia or AMD in DX11.

    I would love to know how sites are testing Civ. I have yet to experience a way to objectively benchmark it without running into a processor bottleneck on high-end systems.

    Yeah I know exactly what you mean as a Civ V player. Hardocp states the simulated a small world environment with army battles. Just shows how really taxing this game is, as the larger maps and ai actions in between turns are exponentially bigger as you go from 8 , 16+ players.
    They state they ran FRAPS for 5 min runs. Not sure how reliable that is.

    I'm a big Civ player as well (when I have the time) but I have yet to see a situation where a "battle" results in lower FPS than just panning the map. Even a nuke being used later in the game doesn't really have all that much of an impact.

    Heck, it isn't even true 3D; it uses an updated version of 2D sprites with some DX11 features thrown in.

    From my experience, the game is seriously CPU bottlenecked once the AI kicks in which means the lowest performance will be when changing turns. Not when the GPU is loaded.

    Strategy games are notoriously hard to benchmark since they're so CPU intensive... and my experiences with Civ 5 are almost always CPU related it seems

    I wanted to chime in and say good review too, SKYMTL. As usual techpowerup is great, and techreport is another I'm waiting for.

    the results were surprising, as it was besting the gtx 470 and 6870.

    Sure. But it needs to be put into context; it's one of (if not THE) highest clocked GTX 460 on the market today. We'll have a review of it but I don't agree with piggybacking something like that onto a launch-day review without providing comparison testing. To each their own I guess....
