Using that processor really bottlenekcs the gpu though but it really shows the difference of the two cards. Nice.

it is faster than all dual core cpus at the market(of course default values) 3195 mhz and i dont thinks so higher values make much difference expect 3d mark tests

Use the highest possible stable FSB, that will reduce bottlenecks to a minimum.

Was there a reason for not testing the ATI card at same higher CPU core speed as the Nvidia card (as shown in your first set of pics)?

doesn't matter that the cpu scored the same, that was solely on the cpu tests, it was still most likely bottlenecking at least at times during the graphics tests
the first thing I noticed with this test as well was the processor, the reason to use a very high end processor in comparisons such as these is to attempt to make the test as objective as possible, reducing the possibility of a cpu bottleneck to as close to nil as possible therefore using a highly overclocked quad core for a comparison like this would've been the most favorable choice |

i dont think so it wont make much more difference beacuse most of the games cant use quad core very well |

Interesting and good work.
I've been asking for a comparison akin to this for the HD 2900XT and the GTS 640Mb for sometime. There are plenty of reviews out there that compare the two cards and not at their max air OC. |

Thank you, I've been waiting for this type of benchmark. :-)
And, to all the bashers, what the hell.. He said "made by me", and this does reflect a real world test at least, so what is with all the hate? It shows that with this processor at these settings, this is what you can expect, and that the 8800 GTS oc outperforms the 2900 pro at least at this level. |

You misread something.. His 8800 GTS is not a 640 mb card. It's the 320 mb card. So the 8800 GTS OC 320 mb card has a disadvantage, less memory on the card.

The HD2900 Pro Is being majorly bottelnecked, the higher the clock of the cpu, the better the performance of the HD2900 Pro. Also you can overclock the HD2900 Pro a lot more depending on the clock speed of your CPU. So although I am glad the two are being compared, I don't think its fair having the HD2900 Pro running with a 1.8Ghz(2) processor.

Very nice effort, I truely mean that. But the higher the CPU overclock, the better the benchmark scores, period. I also agree that these cards are not meant for low end CPU's and just get faster and faster with higher clocks.

Here is a bench for you can your 8800 gts 320 match this.
  just kidding of course This just goes to show you how much a GPU depends on the CPU My gpu was at 870/2380 stable 24/7 |

Ignore most of these people, this is a very useful and thorough comparison.
For all of you complaining about the CPU, you're all full of shit! A 3.2ghz C2D will not "bottleneck" these upper-mid-range cards. This comparison is completely valid and very useful. Thanks for your contribution cefurkan! |

Man I'm just confused why he has his CPU at 3.1ghz with the Nvidia and with the ATI he has 2.1ghz. Unless I am reading those pics wrong I don't get that. Also don't get me wrong I am not trying to dis this guy or anyone else, just that I want it to be accurate thats all.
