Those charts are completely misleading. They make a 20% lead look like the card is going twice as fast. LOL.
I also liked how they compared gtx 580 sli vs radeon 5870 CF when they know that CF scaling sucks. Nice touch, Nvidia!
God I hate douche bags who make these charts start at something other than 0. Nvidia and AMD both does this shit, its just insulting. It serves no purpose than trying to mislead someone, which is lame in the first place, but secondly who the hell do they thing is that retarded exactly? Gah.
It's for the investors.
And both AMD and NVIDIA do this. They have to bring to light the benefits of the new tech in the best-looking way possible.
These are not fake FWIW.
Plus, they have to pit this new GPU against what is OUT right now that is also a "Halo" single-GPU video card, so yeah, the 5870 has a target on its back.

I think its fair to highlight an opponents weakness
I think its fair to highlight an opponents weakness
but where is the 6870 Xfire in that comparison since that actually BEATS 5870 Xfire?
* GTX 580 is anywhere from 15-38% faster than GTX 480 in game benchmarks (canned or real world I don't know) See also last ^^^[/B][/COLOR]
Edit my math was wrong, Stupid confusing charts!!! LOLOverall, I'd say the 580 is about 14-16% better.
Only is less than 20% faster than GTX 480 in

Did you go to the same math class as this guy?

I kid. recheck though.
Please Re-read the chart, look at the data not the length of the bars Each line up is a 20% boost over the other card
but man in other forums they are laughing and saying that most of you guys can't read the charts.
Well, here are my estimates based on what was presented in the last comparison chart. I've placed the numerical data to the right of each title.
The numerical advantage of the 580 over the 480 is as follows:
Batman Arkham Asylum: .2
Starcraft 2: .4 and 1/2
Crysis Warhead: .1 and 1/2 (?)
Hawx: .2 and 3/4's
Just Cause .2 and 1/2
Alien Vs Predator: .1 and 1/2
Battleforge: .2 and 1/2
Battlefield Bad Company 2: .1 and 1/2
Dirt 2: .2 and 1/4
Lost Planet 2: .4
Metro 2033: .2
Stalker COP: about .2 and 1/2
Stone Giant: .3 and 1/2
WIC: somewhere between 3/4's to .1
RE5: .1/4
MW2: .1 and 1/2
By comparison, the 6870 vs 460 1gb chart rates the 6870 as follows:
Batman: AA : . 2 and 1/2
Borderlands: .5 and 1/2
Crysis: .4
Crysis WH: .2 and 1/2
Dirt 2: .1 and 1/2
Quake Wars: .2 and 3/4's
L4D2: .3 and 1/4's
Metro 2033: about .3
Stalker COP: .3
RE5: .3
HAWX: .1 and 1/2
UT3: .1 and 3/4's
WIC: .1
Wolfenstein: .2
FC2: .1/2
BF: BC2: .3 and 1/2
Riddick: .1 and 3/4's
Now, comparing those two estimates, how much faster would you say the 6870 is over the 460 1gb? Also, keep in mind that Techpowerup rates the 6870 as being 15% better than the 460.
Links? I liked to view others opinion on this subject.
Hefly's never mind, my math was wrong and I created a cluster fuck basically. Everything in the chart is in correlation to 5870 so 480/580 can't be compared 1:1.
