Coming DOOM3 Benchmarks @ [H]ardOCP

A 5950U is 475/475, no? Considering 8x0 @ 475MHz, it should whup a 9700's 8x1 @ 325MHz.

A 9800XT can compete with a 5950U because the core is a lot closer: 412MHz vs. 475MHz.

 

You can get a X800 here for a decent price.

I don't see the PE on that page?

 

Look closely:

What, at the "eVGA GeForce 6800 128M (retail) $420" Pictured as an ATI board? (Towards the bottom)

 

Wow. I must be the luckest guy in the world. I got mine on june 15th.

 

lol the link even goes to a 9600xt 8)

 

I do NOT buy from places that keep sloppy websites, I just don't trust 'em with my order if they can't keep their site straight!

My the sun never set on NewEgg...

 

Atic does not even accept credit card payments for online orders !

The quest continues

 

Not in my opinion. A 6800GT has 43% more fillrate than a 6800nu. A 128MB 6800 costs US$299, and a 256MB 6800GT costs US$399. 128MB more ram has got to cost a lot, so it won't be less than US$349.

Now, who wouldn't spend 14% more for 43% more fillrate?

BTW, I mentioned this in another thread, but it seems more fitting here.

 

Mintmaster,

what about the fillrate of the Ultra? What is it? Thx

 

fillrate isn't the only thing . I actually don't think it matters all that much in this game.

Surely if it was the x800xt pe would be leading with 8320.

So i would think the 6800nu would perform closely to the 6800gt .

 

I saw that but I didn't know all XT's were also PE's. Is there no regular XT?

 

Any chance to test it with a good old Geforce 256 (DDR 64MB)?

 

Wasn't the 'GeForce 256 DDR' 32MB ? :?

 

Actually i think GF DDR64 was not really a common one... it was introduced pretty late compared to the original GF and it couldn´t really compare to the GF2 so it was never a big hit... i think the 32DDR flavour was the most common, but i might be wrong

 

Hello

I can just see this coming.

If Kyle says the 6800nu is a good choice for Doom 3 there will not be a single one of these cards available for me to buy. These will be sold out in like 19 seconds.

It is the only 6800-series card available, the gt and ultra are back-ordered.

That sucks !

AFAIK there was no 64 MB version of the "standard" Geforce 256 (SDR) and the DOOM 3 required at least 64 MB video ram. So the slowest videocard that can "run" the game without stressing the AGP bus in low quality is the Geforce 256 DDR 64MB.

 

BTW is wednesday any news on when we'll see the [H]Guide?? i wanna see just how bad i'm gonna play with my ol' GF3

 

Newegg doesn't ship to Canada, and Atic is a good Canadian Vendor...they usually have stock while others don't.
