But how can you be sure other sites wouldn't leak the demo to card vendors? And how do you differentiate "interested people" from "spys" of card vendors? Changing demo frequently enough is a good way and maybe the only way to prevent cheating in benchmark.

I partially agree with what cho said though I don't think changing a new demo in every new preview is necessary. You can use a demo for a specific amount of time,say one or two months. During the period,the demo remians unseen from the public and you can choose whether or not to publicate the...

now we've already had P.S. 1.4 disabling tool, is there a similar approach to do the same thing on NV3X?

what's this 7.84.10 driver? it maks 9600pro outperform 9500pro&cat3.2 in splinter cell.

they used different drivers for 9500pro and 9600pro? :shock:

yep,9600pro will be competing with 5600ultra while ati leave 9600 for 5600/5200 ultra. we won't see many 9500 series card any longer,will we ? I heard there's a lack of 9500 card in the US for a while.

IMO,the 9600pro is ok but the performance of 9600 is way too low. both cards are appealing with price at 150 and 100 USD,respectively.

43.XX,he didn't tell me the accurate version

this is not a official benchmark. it's done by one of my friend,just have a look: 3d mark2001 SE under ABIT BH7 3.06GHz 1GB PC2700 http://bbs.gzeasy.com/uploads/post-1-1048748994.png test under 3dmark03 has also be done,the score is around 1400. more accurate data is coming soon

Re: Something is wrong with this preview: agree,the poor performance of FX 5200 can not be explained by the lower clock of GPU&memory. someone said there's gonna be a 64bit version of FX 5200,maybe the card being test falls into this category if there's no driver issue.

is it that with F-buffer support,the GPU only have to store the intermediate result of pixels which exceed the limitation of instruction,while in multi-pass rendering the whole scene has to be stored in the local memory?

i dont think R350 need 256bit DDR ram@460MHZ to feed its 8 pipelines @400MHZ.

are there more or fewer(what i think) games based on OGL to retain M$ as a voting member of ARB. or M$ is thinking the support of OGL is no longer as important as before?

one friend of mine has just told me that Microsoft had tendered its resignation from the consortium governing the OpenGL standard, signalling an intention to go it alone with its Direct3D graphics platform.
