True - because there are three different tessellation settings.

Unigine 2.0 is not the same benchmark as Unigine 1, there is a zeppelin and stuff.
The dragon remains intact, though, and at the dragon scene there is definitely a lot of FPS improvement. However, Unigine 1 and 2 bench results cannot be compared because the scenes are nearly completely different.

No, most people clicked an option in an internet poll. The only real vote is ponying up money for a new video card and three monitors. How about we start a poll of people who have actually "chosen" with their wallet? PhysX has a few million head start, how many people are running three monitors?
What point would that be? The point is that it's a freebie when you buy an Nvidia card and hence is an added value. Popularity polls on [H] don't change that.

I get significantly better performance than that with tess and DOF on with a 5850 at high. So they must of done those runs at Very High which hits 1GB cards hard do to the size of some of the intermediate buffers.
That should be your first clue to refrain from talking about yields at all...

The Eyefinity vs PhysX is the most retarded comparison I have ever seen in my life. They are completely unrelated to each other. PhysX gives you extra eye candy in supported games. Eyefinity gives you the ability to play games in multiple monitor setups. How can they be compared?
I'd totally get it if it was PhysX vs. Bullet or Havok. Or if it was Eyefinity vs 3dvision (even these can't easily be compared) but physics simulation vs multiple monitors??

Thanks for the tip, but I was more asking a question than making a comment there.
As processes mature over time, defect density goes down and yields shoot up.
So rather than not seeing how yields will improve over time for the same chip, it's impossible to see how yields will not go up.

See my original post, I asked I didn't get how they would go "a lot" more up by themselves. If the power draw (130w more than HD5870 at load) and temperature situation of this card (92c load) is as bad as it's reported, and keeping in mind that Nvidia was unable to release the 512sp part at all, I would think that they would give B1 a go as soon as they could, rather than waiting for the yields to go up. I would also think that the yields would have to go up as soon as possible, seeing as how a 5890 is probably going to be just as fast as the $500+ GTX 480.

Semiaccurate finally approves the recent specs , GTX 480 to run at 700/1400MHz/3696MHz, consumes 250 W and achieves 87 C at load (98c @FurMark).
oh and Nvidia obviously tampers with Dirt 2 benchmark !!

lol if its a small marginal lead in Dirt 2, its going to have a huge lead in other games if what we have seen in the past holds up for codemaster engine games.
This looks like one of Charlie's GF100 has no hardware for tessellator bits. If true, the hilarity on Nvidia's part ..
True. The question is who buys a videcard based on physX support. I tried to find a poll for this and could only find that one at [H].
I doubt that most anybody buys a video card based on any one single aspect.
