first r420 review leak

[DemoCoder]

Only on PS2.0. On DX8 games, it wasn't. Point is, if someone could design a 3D pipeline that was 4 pipes, but ran at 2Ghz vs one that was 16 pipes but ran at 500Mhz, and they had equivalent performance, I don't think you could say one was better than the other. Hell, the 2Ghz version might even use far less transistors.

That's some crazy ass leak.

Is the X800 using a different AF algorithm this time around?

 

[anaqer]

ummmmm anager....you gettin a bit too excited there man. hurley was expressing a 'feeling' not that 'nViDiA rulezzz teh OEPNGL!!'.

Excited? Not really. Tired is more like it, and I beg your pardon if it shows too much.
We've been hearing so much about NV owning D3 ( among others... ) due to OpenGL, twin-pumped Z, UltraShadow, whatnot... let's just wait and see is all I'm sayin'. 8)

4x fsaa and all the cards get a 102 fps including the 9800xt and 5950 ultra . I have to say this is fake .

That was interesting to see, although I wonder how it compares with temporal on.

Yes but why would u design a dx 9 card to run dx 9 like crap and dx 8.1 very fast .

You make me laugh with your defence of the nv30. It was crap. They messed up.

lmfao - also same for farcry - not quite as severe.

breed and x2 as benchmarks are just comical..

Gotta agree with you there... that's insane, the 9800XT doesn't get that fast like ever.

If these are real we are talking about a craptastic review; sometimes he benches with no AA/AF. Sometimes with 4xAA. Sometimes with 8xAF. Sometimes with both. wtf

Question , is call of duty based off the quake 3 engine ?

 

[dog man star]

It is a bit confusing just now. I never use Tom's as a guide to purchasing anything so I must admit Im looking forward to reading more tomorrow. Hopefully some will be using A64.

Yup.

 

[Natoma]

Nothing higher than 4xAA in these tests?????

I'm pretty sure that it is.

okay that clears up alot for me thanks for pointing out that those cards are all cpu bound at that res
