8xS is a bust in FarCry :

Damn.

Chronicles of Riddick is a bust:

FarCry HDR is just about worth getting out of bed for:

SC:CT HDR is really worthwhile on 7800GTX:

Transparency Supersampling AA works really nice, 10-15%. YAY.

At last.. i really can't understand why ppl bench this card @ 1024 :?

Some questions:
* G70 seems to be capable of doing gamma-corrected antialiasing. Is this correct? If yes, is it enabled by default and does it cost performance?
[edit]Ok, so it is capable and it is not enabled[/edit]
* HDR and FSAA seem to be mutually exclusive with the G70, too. Is this a limitation of current games or a limitation of G70?
[edit]Seems G70 can't do MSAA on fp render targets[/edit]
* Are there any reviews that have some pics, which show the IQ difference between 8xS and 6xAA + TSAA?

Edit: Found some answers myself. Seems i'm not so lazy after all.

Before asking the questions spend some time to read the our and other reviews and some of your questions will be answered.

Yes I know I'm lazy bum.
But I just don't have the time to read each review thoroughly and I'm sooo curious.
So, please, if someone has answers...

I think something's wrong with Anand's graphs... he consistently scores 6800 SLI higher than everything @ 1600x1200 4xAA

True. You think he would have noticed that and provided some explanation, a lot of those graphics look completely wonk.

All you big folks with your fancy SLI 7800's. One day! One day! (feebly shakes fist in air)

Tom did a mistake here, the ATI score is supposed to be 139fps.

Technically speaking - a very dissapointing product, practically a puffed up NV40 with no technical innovations whatsoever (no unified pixel & vertex shaders, no new AA alghoritms, same HSA scheme, Longhorn baseline support is still ways off, etc...). A cheap cop out by NV.
The transparent AA is a cheap (though a pretty nice) trick and the perfomance is obviously top-line for the time being (with ULTRA contending with R520 when that comes out).
Now obviously, on a tech level, Xenon in the X360 is more of a forward-looking product, but what difference, if any, is there between G70 and NVIDIA's own RSX employed in PS3?

Is the 7800 GTX really optimised??

Looking at the link Cavvdarrr posted, the 7800 GTX is just as fast and even sometimes slower than the 6800Ultra with just 16 ALU's.

Has it really been optimised or has Nvidia just slapped on the extra 8 pipes?

It's slower in just one test, while in 2 other tests is 15% faster..so yes, it has been optmized for real imho
