I don't know whether it's fake or not, but anyway - have a look!

- I hope it's true!

Oh God NO!


That's waht I get for posting in a hurry... sorry...

At first, I was like... so what, my 8800 GTS 640 runs higher than that on stock settings.

Then I saw what resolution they were running it at. Yikes.

If that comes in sub $300 it's gonna be hard to get a hold of one.

Wonder what it will score at 1280X1024?

Real world guys.. real world. Lets wait for some real benchmarks before getting our hopes up.

Yeah - I firsts looked and thought - "Hmmm, not bad, but must be better..." then I saw the resolution!

True - however it is an impressive score anyway you look at it.

Hence the 2nd post... I did had glance for any 3870 X2 bench threads... but I did not look quite long and well enough

It's an indication at least.

Should score about the same as a 3870 crossfire setup. So that would be around what 18,000?

People often bring that point up, but seeing as this is an enthusiast site and has a thread on 3d mark scores its relevant to those people at least. Obviously it can't be played but its suprising how many people get steered towards a product just because of peenmark.

Hmmm... 10k at 2560x1600? Well, there is 4 million pixels with 2560x1600 and about 1.3 million with 1280x1024, 18k would seem entirely possible.

I read somewhere MSRP was gonna be right around $400 USD, a good deal cheaper than 2 3870s but not 2 for the price of 1. It would still be a good buy even at this price point.

well you have 1 pcb vs 2, 1 cooler/fan vs 2, 2 dvi ports/ramdacs vs 4 so It should come out cheaper
