From TecChannel - http://www.tecchannel.de/hardware/1109/4.html

Not such a big margin as I expected:

3Dmark2003se Pro - WinXP - P4-3066 / PC266 / 512mb
1024x768 - 32bit

Geforce FX 5800Ultra - 15923

ATI 9700Pro - 15502

NV Ti4600 - 13932
------------------------------------

Quake 3 - 1280x1024 32bit HQ
Geforce FX 5800Ultra - 291
ATI 9700Pro - 269
NV Ti4600 - 209

and the interesting bit...
Quake 3 - 1280x1024 32bit HQ x4FSAA x8AF
ATI 9700 Pro - 146
Geforce FX 5800Ultra - "130"
NV Ti4600 - 71

There's some more tests with UT2003, SS2 but there's nothing in it - just a few fps.
 
Wow. I expected a bigger difference margin. If this performance trend holds in the other reviews, I don't see why ATI even needs to release the R350.
 
This is getting more funny as the days roll along. Those numbers are a joke, IMHO. I think the "Dropped the ball" cliche is in full view right now.

The funny thing is this...with newer/faster/better hardware, I expect to take steps forward, not backwards. And the whole "let's focus on 2xAA" deal that nVidia is preaching is just pathetic.

I really hope R350 is right around the corner, and the rumours pan out. A faster core, a few tweaks here/there, more quiet, and much more bandwidth would make the 350 the obvious choice.
 
I dont think some of those numbers are real or it maybe the rushed way they benchmarked, again like someone mentioned before please take this 'review' with a pinch of salt.
 
It's using alot more power under load too - and extra 21watts (75) compared to 9700Pro.

Actually, I'd have more faith in these benchmarks compared to many others. At least it's not from some unknown website rather part of the IDG tech magazine group.

Man, if this is accurate, it's a terrible result for the GeForce FX. As you increase the workload the performance dips drastically in relation to the 9700. I guess a 256 bit bus does count for something, nVidia, not imaginary figures that somehow doubles, or even triples the raw bandwidth. No wonder they're afraid of non-2xAA scores, and when you factor in the size, monstrous fan, high cost, late arrival, etc, this card is a total failure.

I dont 100% trust the numbers that are out now.

I want a complete, full, comprehensive review, that covers IQ as well, from a site i trust and respect.

Beyond3d.com reviewers I think would expose the strengths and weaknesses of any video card reviewed. So is Beyond3d.com going to get a card for review?

Why would the image quality be vastly different from the R9700s?
