Sweet dude, thanks for that! That is a bit of a surpirse for me, I would have thought there would be a bigger perf hit for that, sat least I recall a big hit my 7800GT SLI. Then again fif you get soft shadows nearly for free, maybe that is a good thing. I guess that puts it the same...

These are the scores I would like to see a direct comparison too, that way we have a direct like for like game comparison, which would be a first on the net as far as I know. These are at 1600x1200 4x/16x everything maxed with no soft shadows.

Mike can you PLEASE do a run of FEAR at max settings without soft shadows, so we can compare it directly to the other cards ?? THANKS!

I suspect he did it as not to undermine his own G80 review.

Remember those G70 scores are without soft shadows, which means the G80 scores are better yet in comparison.

I just insalled the 1.3 patch in D3 and lost 4 FPS in timedemo 1. I was getting 42, now I'm getting 38. What's the deal? What kind of patch offers a 10% loss? lol Thanks, Lance

Well with my x850 Pro, 12 pipes @ 535/585, I'm only geting an average of 20fps from the start of the demo up through the firefight with the tuff guy when you cross the planks. Thats at 1024 with 4xAA/4xAF, soft shadows off, CPU settings at medium, and everything else maxed. Seems to me I...

I am wondering if you are able to use any FSAA with this card? What settings do you find to be palyable? Thanks, Lance

Well the 6600gt is the best bang for the buck, its the best value, but if you got the cash to burn the 6800 will give you better performance. The 6800nu is the plain 6800 right? Not the GT or Ultra? In doom 3 with 4xaa the 6600GT gets about 45 and the 6800 gets 58...

No thats fine. I had a 6600gt with a 2400 on 266fsb and it was awesome. The 6600gt was actually not fast enough for the fsaa levels I wanted to use so I got a x850 Pro, which is even better on this board. You can put as fast of a video card as you want on there and it will be fine. You...

I have a via KT333 board(Aopen AK77-333) with a 266 FSB that takes a Socket A. Am I limited to a 266 FSB Socket A? I know the board can take 333 memory, but I am not sure if I would be able to use a 333 CPU. The fastest Athlon XP on 266 is 2800, so I just need to find out if that is the max...
