Crossfire scaling looks good if these are correct.

 

hehe today is a leakday

 

Better than just quoting fud from theInq/fuad.

 

yes

 

Maybe they can still keep the overall performance crown with crossfire!

 

Single card mode it seems like its not much faster then the GTS?

And what the hell they are comparing to a buggy SLi driver? Ya know if nV has fixed SLi by review time......? Whats going to happen.

 

That was what i was thinking as well. Does SLi even work properly? Im wondering the OS that they used since SLi is non existent in Vista. Some games might work, but others see all sorts of problems.

 

It's most a case of newer AFR profiles ((We saw this with XP too when SLI first came out)) not properly swapping frames. Alot of the XP compatibility tweaks for SLI are slowly making their way in. The 158.XX series fixed most of them.

I was wondering about that too...

Though you could probably just chalk it down to botchy Photoshop work while he/she/it/whatever was touching up the other part. Still an odd thing to see, what would they be pasting over there anyway?

 

Is the 8800 GTS "crippled" vs GTX when is comes to TMU's? Or does it have 32 too?

 

GTS have 96 shader units, which means 6 clusters * 4 texture unts = 24 (48 bileps) textured pixels per cycle.

 

Hmm..Maybe they (Ati) screwed up and targeted R600 against chip like this all along?
Maybe they were fooled and didn't realize it has separate IO chip and thought G80 was going to be smaller....

 

Thanks.

I guess I should have been able to figure that one out by myself, but my brain is crippled by too much Koskenkorva.

 

I think very few people knew what the g80 was till the last few weeks. But the target always is about x2 the performance of last gen at least at very high settings. So I don't see how ATi would have miss calculated on that.

 

I believe they (ATi/AMD & NV) took different design proposal on their GPU. I didn't see any point on how to design your GPU base on the opponent's specification.

ATi/AMD might believe that the proposal they took will convey a better performance on what they will offer to us.

Regards,

 

But they did know that G80 is on 90nm. And on 90nm it couldn't be what it is without the separate IO chip. So who knows..

 

Wel OK, just a thought...

 

I don't car eif they are fake, at least I am entertained now lol.

 

It's an issue related to Vista and CCC translation to me, it happens in the 2 CCC shots published (+ another one not published).

PD.: I only received the pics, don't own the card unfortunately.
