AMD: R7xx Speculation

[Arty]

I wonder the % of the press who will test a 4850 CrossFire setup against the GTX 280/260.

Same here.

And i wonder about the percentage of those, who never have heard of inherent problems of AFR and thus fail to mention it.

Yep its a great way to get your site at the top of price search engines, even if the product isn't in stock people will look back.

Seems that they really want to be at the top of price search engines...

ASUS GeForce GTX 260 896MB GDDR3 -> $228.95
SAPPHIRE VCX HD 4850 512M DDR3 LITE -> $228.95

From where the XS's card was supplied, they're doing preorder sales of HD4850 for $196 + $9 S/H.

Wow, talk about being snappy.

To me, the micro-stuttering issue is YMMV. Just like 30fps is not enough for some, some people can see color wheel some cant .. you could probably list more.

Radeon HD 3870x2 conquered GTX 260 in 3DMARK06, Bioshock and Crysis

We PCZILLA were informed that, AMD currently the most powerful flagship product Radeon Radeon HD 3870x2 conquered GTX 260 in 3DMARK06, Bioshock and Crysis.

Radeon HD 3870x2 conquered GTX 260 in Bioshock 1920 x1200 1xAA 1xAF, 2560x1600 1xAA 1xAF, 1920x1200 4xAA 2560x1600 4xAA. Radeon HD 3870x2 and GeForce GTX 280 conquered each other in Bioshock test.

In addition, Radeon HD 3870x2 conquered both GTX 260 and GTX 280 in 3 DMark 06 1280x1024, 1600x1200 4xAA 16 xAF test, beat GTX 260 and GTX 280. In The Elder Scrolls 4 test, it conquered GTX 260 in 1920 x1200, 2560x1600, lost only small gap from GTX 280. In "Crysis" test, it conquered GTX 260 in 2560 x1600 High test, lost only small gap from GTX 280.In 1600 x1200 4xAA VeryHigh and 1920 x1200 4xAA VeryHigh tests, Radeon HD 3870x2 beat GTX 260.

Until micro-stuttering is fixed, I don't think it's appropriate to compare sli or multi-gpu to single, who cares what the numbers say if they are wrong, right?

If it was the 4870x2 i would believe that but no just no if a 9800gx2 walks all over a 3870x2 then there is no way a 280 would be close to a 3870x2
it makes my brain burn with how off those numbers are

you'll know it's real soon

 

[tacopaco]

....... wow convincing argument i have no problem admitting to being wrong so if you know something that we don't know please share otherwise leave the smug remarks to people who actually present viable evidence.

 

[neliz]

don't worry taco, mao5 is more in the know than you are.

yeah like his r600 results

at least he had stalker!

come on buddy, could you wait for 18 hours, then you can call me BS.

 

[Razor1]

why wait unless they used drivers that don't go with those cards, they are wrong

The big surprise was the news that developers of AMD have decided to embark on the path of his colleagues from the company and NVIDIA otvyazali frequency streaming processors from other blocks of graphic chip. In the case of the older model Radeon HD 4870 ability RV770 asynchrony allowed to set the frequency domain-level Shader 1050 MHz, while other units are working at 850 MHz. Now it is understandable that rumors of overcoming 1 - Hz barrier mentioned in our previous submission on the topic of new accelerators AMD, include: the universal conveyor. Regarding the younger Radeon HD 4850 graphics card, its Shader domain works at 850 MHz, while the remaining blocks of the nucleus - at 650 MHz.

Shader domain works at 850 MHz ?! -> source


EDIT: Fake/Old infos.

 

[mao5]

who are they?

 

[Razor1]

I said they for who ever benched the cards
