Crysis 1.2, 1920x1200, very high, 0xAA: 21 FPS

Thats really disappointing.

They think 16kb on-chip cache is a new feature of GTX 280?
And btw does anyone know if it supports DP?

Compared to what?

Compared to a 700 millions transistor gpu made two years ago. Ati would smoke this with such a size!.

Maybe it´s only a inmature drivers issue.

Compared to what?

Compared to what Nvidia claimed:

Compared to what Nvidia claimed:

Nvidia claimed Crysis to be playable at those settings with the GTX 2xx ?
Where exactly is "Very High" mentioned in that slide ?

Yes, it's a new feature, since it's double the amount per cluster, compared to G8x and G9x.
And yes, it does support DP.

Yes, they are implying that it´s playable.

And if it´s not at Very High, even my 8800 Ultra is playable at 1920x1200 at Low and even Medium.

GTX200 will be playable at High and GTX200SLI -- at Very High.
So?

I have doubts that the GTX280SLI wil make Crysis playable at 2560x1600 - Very High, and single card at 1920x1200 - same settings, as the slide is implying.
I´m not saying the card isn´t good, as I will probably buy one. I´m just saying that the marketing department of Nvidia is misleading the average consumer, if the benchmarks leaked are to be trusted.

i guess it is a little disappointing
i notice that Anand said this:

you'll need both a 6-pin and an 8-pin PCIe power connector (the board won't work with two 6-pin connectors).

i only have 2x 6pin .. wonder if i can "fool it" like i can with Crossfire

Is in high

 

[Neeyik]

Heh they're wrong, the ROPs and MCs aren't where they think they are, sorry! And I already gave out the die size percentages of each block previously...

That's what Tech Report are saying is from NVIDIA.
