The NEXT LAST R600 Rumours & Speculation Thread

Exactly, I was trying to demonstrate that your GF6 comparison was poor because that was flagship vs flagship. Today we're looking at flagship vs two-cards-down if these numbers hold.

 

Oh come on!

The setting are listed in the link that I kindly provided. It is also here in this very thread.

2900XTX paired with a Intel kentsfield is getting the same frames as the x1950xtx paried with a Intel conroe.

More data is needed, and the smoke needs to be clear.

 

When has the high end next-gen solution of any hardware company not outperformed it's previous generation offering by a significant margin at the same settings? That's what has my red flags raised right now. That wouldn't be NV30 or even Voodoo 5-5500. This would be Voodoo 3 vs Voodoo 2 SLI all over again, and we know what happened there.

I'm having a difficult time believing these #s because if they are indeed true, this would be a blunder of enormous proportions. Far worse than anything a major graphics company has done in the past 5-7 years.

 

Dont know if this has been linked to yet

Things dont look good if these numbers are true.

Umm hello, that's what we've been discussing for the last three or four pages of this thread

 

5 in fact

 

I beat all you bitches in pointing out XMAN's late-to-the-party snafu.

I'm first!

 

no actually im pretty sure that was months before release, especially the DX10 bolted on statement which was quite awhile before the release. The mostly accurate leaked specs was in the time frame you mentioned, "weeks before release".

 

Don't forget dailytech/anandtech is nv pro sites, anandtech was the first come out with the performance/watt ratio after the r520 released

I not say its can't be true what dailytech write, but very unprofessional the way how they tested the cards, so i take the whole test as a grain of salt.

I wait for may 14th than i have a clear picture for any conclusion

 

I realy hope this was ironic...
AnandTech usualy have very good tests, and they were not kind when testing 8600/8500

 

whahahah .. liar liar pants on fire

HD2900XT faster than the 8800GTX in Crysis?

What nice is their specs are almost the same as mine

Test Sistemi:
Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 (2.4Ghz) (Mine: QX6600)
Asus P5W DH
2×1GB PC2-6400 (5-5-5-12)

US

 

I believe those days are over. Are there any pro sites left?

 

That wasn't just weeks before G80 came out and it wasn't on DailyTech - I'd know since I complied the collection of all INQ stories that were off target. Here are the Dailytech stories:

G80 lenght and power.

Specks

More specks

Although this could very well be the case, note that they are using older Forceware drivers on the 8800 GTX. The new ones could make a difference. Also, note that Dailytech was testing a 8800 GTX at 650Mhz core and 2.0 Ghz mem, which is quite a bit faster than stock GTX.
