nvidia "D8E" High End solution, what can we expect in 2008?

I think this will probably be the most accurate review we will get.

Now Nvidia will come out with some miracle drivers for official reviews that will win most benchmarks, but later be found to have [strike]cheats[/strike] bugs that [strike]helped[/strike] accidently improve performance.

Lol instead of getting real working drivers, ((Which they know are borked)) they decided to attack me. Lovely

 

if they really asked around they would have gotten the answer that the 175 dirvers are the launch drivers for the gx2

I think someone may have just a wee bit of egg on the face there...

 

Did TT pull the article? I can't get to it from the links posted at vr-zone or TR.

174.51.

 

Some very strange comments on Crysis from that article:

I have two problems with those statements.

1) If 30fps is insufficient does that mean that pretty much every console FPS game is "broken"? I won't deny 60fps is nicer but 30fps is still plenty playable, especially in Crysis which many have confirmed is smoother than the average game at low framerates.

2) Since when was 1920x1200 the mandated minimum resolution? I'm quite sure most people would rather play Crysis at 1650x1080/High than 1920x1200/Medium.

Frankly, if I had one of these I would be playing at whatever resolution allows me to average 30fps at Very High.

 

Wow. Talk about arrogant...

@Twinkie: And waht should this show me? I just see some circles but they dont show anything like its a fake. What it is im missing?

 

Same here...I don't get it

 

The pictures show that grey blocks has been pasted into the screen shot - to hide the vendor, but TT claims that they don't know the vendor.

Edit: Iam not saying this is a big deal, I don't think it is.

 

Outrageous!

 

think we got a winner for Sessen Sanders Award this year , is that how he spells his name?

 

Isn't it a case of not wanting to name an AIB via an "unknown" distributor/other? Makes sense to get rid of VID. Easy to edit for Nvidia as a ref board, too. As for GPU-Z... The how/who/where they got it doesn't matter. It exists. They tested it with the latest drivers they could get. Results are OK. Release drivers will probably perform better.

 

It really amazes me how certain people are trying to discredit this review.
