The impression I get is that the software won't be behind the hardware for *this* benchmark ;).

Feel free to steer us back on topic ;)

hehe, its quite funny seeing Kristof involved in a PowerVR speculation thread, the things you can do with smilies is quite impressive :D.

nah, IMO 'Madonion' had a bit of style and character about it, futuremark is just another dull, generic benchmark name....

IIRC the series 4 would have been priced as a mid range card and would have the performance on or above the geforce 4 which was the performance king at the time the kyro 3 was estimated to come out. PVR have stated that they are going for a high performance chip for series 5 and have even...

something must be very wrong with their benchmark setup :o. Compare it to Anandtech's preview article here: (dated august) http://www.anandtech.com/video/showdoc.html?i=1681&p=6 I never knew that extremetech wrote such bad articles....

IMO to get an idea what to expect in the r400 we should look at the innovations found on the gamecube ;). http://www.anandtech.com/showdoc.html?i=1566&p=1 i.e. things like embedded ram, and large Z and texture buffers

No need for you to make one ;) http://users.erols.com/chare/video.htm btw I didnt write this but it does seem very thorough i don't know whether all the information is 100% accurate.

Yeah - I remember the one you're on about. They also stated they'd focused too much on non AA'd rendering as well, from now on everything will be optimised for AA so we can expect a v small performance cost.

yeah - I really should have mentioned that the P10 was being used to great success in wildcat boards but it does look like it won't appear in the desktop market for some time. Regardless, it was an oversight and the article has been updated ;) Thanks for all the feedback, keep it coming :D

Thanks doomtrooper - appreciated I'll look into the R300 price

I apologise if this sort of post is banned but I've just written my first ever 3D article and would appreciate any feedback from the pros ;). http://www.boogletech.com/modules.php?name=Sections&op=viewarticle&artid=13&page=1 It's basically an overview of the current state of...

Mine don't seem to work properly - When I run control panel I get a rundll error. Nature test seems up by 20fps which seems to account for the score increases everyone is on about. apart from that and a load of artefacts and tearing I don't see any real difference. OT: We seem to have chosen...

So you consider Nvidia deliberately witholding performance from us for 6 months to be a good thing?

:lol: Fair enough - However I got the impression these increased real world performacne significantly as well. I'm still waiting for mine to download here but if the 25% performance increase figures are true it really is impressive. I've heard rumours about disabled TU's particularly with...
