NVIDIA GF100 & Friends speculation

Hexus has _always_ been biased to NV. Wait for the "real" benchmarks and not some teenagers dreams, will you? After Anand, Tech report and HardOCP we will have some more up to date figures.

Hmmm. I've always considered Hexus as a fair (as in even-handed) site for reviews. The DIRT2 reviews are a bit suspicious this time around (why only DX11 for the highest res and max aa/af?) though...
 
Power draw and temp as per Hexus

GTX480: Idle = 43c and 152w. Loaded = 93c and 475w

I'll be curious to hear about fan noise and such.

I did so too. But I changed my mind after playing around with both NV and ATI cards.

<edit> I base this on previous releases </edit>
 
Did they forget to put HD5's to DX9 mode in DiRT2 or something? GTX285 faster than HD5870 in it @ 1680x1050 4xAA? :LOL:
 
Seems to me that the 5870 is framebuffer limited in some of these.

Dirt 2 is really interesting cause in dx 11 mode the 5870 is only 3 frames slower but in dx 9 mode its sometimes 40-50 frames slower

Load power consumption shows the 480 using more power than the 5970. The whole system is using 155w more than with the 5870.

DiRT2 numbers in DX9 for HD5 are fubared for sure, there's no way GTX285 is faster than HD5870 in it, for example at PCGH HD5870 is 14FPS (21,7%) faster at the same settings than GTX285
 
It will be interesting to see what is changed when the review goes back up. :p

For the record, Tarinder gave it 3 stars out of 5 first time around.
 
Yeah, but they have two graphs of DIRT2 at 26x16x4aa and they show a 24% drop on the 5870 from the DX? to the DX11 graph. Very odd. Maybe they had vsync on :)
