ShadowFoldThe 2900GT sucks :|

better than any other card for 120 dollars......or would u rather have a 2600/8600 for that price tag?

I would save up for a HD 3850

i did read another bench a few days back saying it used a little more power than the old 8600gts did.. they expected it to use less but were surprised when it didnt..

trog

this shouldn't of even been posted as theres no system spec. etc. :shadedshu

the performance gap between the 8800GT 256MB and the 512 at that resolution immediately makes this article a fake for world in conflict. Also the scores seem to be "randomised" just to make it look authentic..

cdawallnow i wouldnt say that look at the 7600GT vs the 6800ultra it killed the prev gen uber card in everything :roll:

Yeah, Nvidia did really well with the seven series.

That is not bad... not bad at all.

eventhough 3dmark does not mean anything, has anyone noticed that the gt 256 is higher than the gt 512...

Most people are calling this a hoax and with good reason.

anyone who believe these benchmarks alos believes in santa and trolls under teh bridge


GUANO!

I stopped trusting nVidia badged "early" benchmarks a long time ago, so this "Force" background "early" benchmark doesn't impress me one bit!
And yeah, the GT256 scoring better that the GT512 is kinda lame!

the 256 is a tiny bit faster than the 512 and is perfectly normal. I bet you cant run 3dmark and get the EXACT same score each time, they vary a little.

You mean Santa and the Computer troll dont exist????? :eek:..........surely they do, there is enuff trolling that goes on in these forums! :)

Tatty_OneYou mean Santa and the Compter troll dont exist????? :eek:

lol you people and your myths and fairy tales. I'll be out for an hour or so hunting pixies to make my LCD a 24".

How many pixies was it for 1920x1080 again??

The benches look a little unreal, if they're true, that would make an awesome middie. Then again, I wouldn't pay anything more than $190 for this.

Also, another reason why this should be taken with "a pinch of salt" is that the card is of course running on modded purpose made drivers because there is no driver release yet, those naughty boys and girls at NVidia could easily "enhance" those drivers for specific tests/benches to show off the card in a greater light, I am not saying they would of course...............I will leave you to decide that for yourself ;)

On other forums it shows this card is approx 1500 - 2000 points behind the 8800GT 512MB and around the same performance as the 8800GS which will have 96SP's.....WTF!! which would place it somewhere between the 3850 - 3870 area, that actually does sound a little more realistic to me, the price just needs to reflect that, anticipated retail price to be in the region of a 3850 and the card is supposed to be a little faster, this card's very existence is to take the 3850 out of contention.............whether it will remains very much to be seen!

more likely its a standard driver with a modded INF, and going to perform worse than with real drivers.

Now I would have thought that, but seeing as here the card beats the 3870 in 2 of those games benches but dont in other "sneek peeks" I am not so sure.

well if it was on a wolfdale at 5GHz it'd be faster, we dont exactly have full system specs on these scores.
