6800NU's 3DMark2K3 score is leaked by Galaxy! Updated!

You are basing all of your performance conclusions on one 3dmark final score?

You'll excuse me if I prefer to wait for some real benchmarks, but I doubt a 325mhz 12 pipe 6800 with 700mhz ram will hang with the X800pro in anything not cpu limited.

 

Yeah but it's 100$ cheaper ....

 

ya but a 9800pro is $100 cheaper yet... what's your point? I can get less performance for less money?

 

My point is, it's normal that it doesn't beat the X800pro, because it's a cheaper part. Otherwise, well the competitor would be in big problem.

 

Well perhaps you should read the statement I was replying to then?

 

I read it, and my answer is still the same. Perhaps you should read the first post you quoted. He didn't speak of X800pro, and it's normal that the X800pro beat a 6800.

What was the point of your post? More performance for more money?

 

Their X800P 3DM03 score seems low. I Googled for another one and came up with close to 10K. That makes more sense, as I really doubt a X800P with 12 pipes at 475/450MHz should be slower than a 6800 w/12P at only 325/350MHz (and potentially less refined drivers).

 

I had seen some X800 PROs listed at $349. That's only $50 over the $299, no? Maybe it was just a few pricing glitches, but I distinctly remember seeing it being sold at the $349 price.

 

He is comparing public prices, not what resellers prices.

 

From the original quote, because you seem reading impaired.

I can repost again in bold or maybe all caps if you think that will help.

But yes he did speak of X800pro, didn't he?

I think my work here is done.

 

Yeah i didn't see the X800pro, my bad. AFAIK, 3dmark is not CPU limited.

Of course enabling AA should give a big advantage to the X800 pro.

PS: less performance with less money is the same as more performance with more money

 

128MB and 256MB. I've seen some places advertising the Gainward 6800NU 256MB Golden Sample, but being a GS and Gainward they are pretty expensive, even more than a GT.

 

i bought mine for $359.. but that doesn't mean you won't find the NU for under $299 either..

 

it seems really low considering it was a 3.4E...

with a 3.2c my score is over 10k..

 

Please tell me all about the X800se performance. What are the specs?

And we basically know nothing about 6800 nu performance. 5950 cards can be over 8k 3dmarks on some driver sets.

 

For your information, the cat4.5 beta is compiled later than the official cat4.5. But the beta was the drivers that sent to reviewers. Why?

And the official cat4.5 seems to have a drop of about 1000 points in 3dmark03 make you wonder.
