8800gts vs 2900 pro all tests made by me

cefurkan · Oct 21, 2007

u can look the pictures directly from here

http://forum.donanimhaber.com/m_18515791/tm.htm

my friend bought saphire 512 mb 2900 pro and i made all tests at my computer

here we go

drivers ati

7.10

nvidia 163.76

well the system settings

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

what cpu should i use

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 :nutkick:

Ketxxx · Oct 21, 2007

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

Micro · Oct 21, 2007

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)?

well cpu get the idle mod at that moment

but if u look the 3d mark scores u see the cpu scores same

nflesher87 · Oct 21, 2007

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

well i am not totaly agree with you

i dont think so it wont make much more difference

beacuse most of the games cant use quad core very well

He has a point

doesn't matter, it takes the guesswork out of it and makes the comparison as objective as can be

Blacklash · Oct 21, 2007

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.

cefurkan · Oct 21, 2007

those tests made at stok coolings

Behemoko · Oct 21, 2007

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.

Airbrushkid · Oct 21, 2007

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.

AphexDreamer · Oct 21, 2007

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.

b1lk1 · Oct 21, 2007

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.

trt740 · Oct 22, 2007

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

v-zero · Oct 22, 2007

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!

AphexDreamer · Oct 22, 2007

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.

He explained (he tried at least, and I understood from experience). He has SpeedStep turned on. His PC was idling when he took that shot, so the multi on the CPU was dropped by three, hence the lower core speed. As soon as he kicked into the game tests the CPU would have gone back to 9x355...

Oh, I beg to differ that point ALOT. There was a HUGE difference in 3.3 and 3.4GHZ for me. Like a near 500 point increase in 05 and 06, not to mention a nice boost in frame rate.

I don't care. At this point the change is linear for both, hence fair test.

But it's obvious that the 8800GTS wins with a lesser powered CPU, but when you get higher clock speeds, then the 2900 pro wins out.

Yes, the 8800 does have special CPU enhancing powers akin to a Jedi in GPU form, in that it saps this extra power from "the force" when on a low-end CPU, but as soon as it gets to a high-end part it says to itself "fuck this shit, I'm gonna lay back and let you do the work now". Whereas the 2900 is essentially vampiric, able immediately to cripple a low-end CPU with it's massive metaphorical fangs, but when faced with a high-end CPU it suddenly stops attempting to kill its compatriot and plays super-GPU.

That, by the by, was sarcasm. What are you on?
