WOW. That card is amazing.

Can you bench Call of Duty 2 please? :D

Exactly, you were cpu limited because of the low resolution you tested at. At 1600x1200 or better, you would not have that issue.....

I can damn near guarantee you that any overclocked X2's or C2D's are not going to have any trouble pushing the G80 to great results, provided a high res is used.

You are absolutely right. When I will get 8800GTX/GTS I oc my X2 3800+ and a 8800 will be happy;)

YOUR scores sound way too high for that type of card. Wonder if your scores were at default settings, my 7900GT with a dual core X2 at 2.6ghz and 2gb ram never broke 9400....

nope, completely believeable, my scores with one 7900GT, (downloadable demo default)

Well no wonder if your GT is clocked to such a high core speed, not to mentiona higher pci-e bus speed

ok, im confused.
how can i get 9.5k in 3dmark06 but get such a shitty score in FEAR compared to the 8800?
Click to expand...
cause 3dmark06 is VERY CPU dependent.

It really is. I score about 1200 points lower than people on any quality of dual core system with single X1900XTXs.
 
For comparison purposes:

3DMark05 w/ Opteron 146 @3.0GHz, single BFG 7900 GTX @709/908


F.E.A.R. 1024x768/4AA/8AF EVERYTHING MAXED INCLUDING SOFTSHADOW w/ Opteron 165 @3.0GHz, BFG 7900 GTX @700/900 SLI


F.E.A.R. 1600x1200/4AA/8AF EVERYTHING MAXED INCLUDING SOFTSHADOW w/ Opteron 165 @3.0GHz, BFG 7900 GTX @700/900 SLI

Right - but I, like many others using LCDs, are limited to 1280. It doesnt bother me, in fact I love being able to crank everything to max and leave it that way for every game. I did not think the CPU would become an isse at 1280 though. I thought past 1024x768 it was more GPU limited. I had a widescreen Dell and hated it, the tearing was crazy and to be honest widescreen gaming sucked - everything was stretched when forcing widescreen resolutions.
 
So, are we saying that this card is going to perform worse at 1440 x 900 than 1600 x 1200 with lots of graphical settings on high?

I dont mean Relative worse, I mean, FPS worse. Like, would there be less FPS at the lower res than the higher one, or would it just not be "using the G80 to it's full potential"?

I'd bet they get more fps in games aswell. Is your graphics score much diffirent?

AA + softshadows are not compatible in FEAR. If you turn on AA the softshadows dissapear, and your final score is borked. Check your FEAR readme file.

Its compatible, you just need to turn on SS on first, then the AA and... it works! ;)

Try it :p

About the scores, really impressive i have to say, anyway i would like to see some Oblivion benchs for example..

Thanks any way mike686:D
 
mike686 said:
Okay, at 1600x1200 in Oblivion with all the sliders and options maxed, and HDR (no AA) it gets on average:

30 FPS at Oblivion gate

42 FPS in Foilage area

Pretty damn good if I do say so myself.

I only see 5 pages but a good question. Since he bought it at a brick and mortar store I would assume MSRP. Now to figure out what that is....

LOL according to my eyes Im now on the 11th page :) anywho Mike what was the cost?
 
I for one am amazed. Its obvious how cpu limited he is. There is almost no difference in score with soft shadows on and off.

I cannot wait to run one at 2560x1600 and 3.6 on the cpu. (places order for a 9500 cooler)


Congrates on your card Mike.

1. Most newer games support widescreen natively and don't "stretch" anything
2. If a game doesn't support widescreen just use driver scaling if your monitor cant do 1:1 pixel mapping.

I personally can't stand 4:3 resolutions any more - they seem unnatural :)
 
Wow. This is what I felt like when I bought my 7900GTX SLI and was bragging to all my friends (IRL). Except now I'm doing the gawking and staring. But since space constraints limit me to a 17" LCD, an 8800GTX might potentially be even more overkill than my 7900s are now.

Congrats on the card though, that thing is ridiculous...*imagines how overkillish an 8800GTX would be @ 1280x1024*

A little more detail...I had a 1.5V VMod with 650/1680 OC via VF900 on a 3.6GHz E6600.

Not quite apples to apples, but hey.

It's overkill, but remember that no matter what kind of monitor you have, you're still gonna need a DX10 card-- a good excuse to make yourself believe you have to buy it, lol. :p
 
Both this and the 7900GT are amazing cards. I also have a 7900GT - get this, with nothing else but the zalman cooler, a pencil and a silver conductive pen, it's doing 715/1920mhz. The 7900GT will alow me to wait for the refresh of the 8800-s, but if I had a bigger monitor (only 1680x1050) I would buy one right now.
 
I have a Question regarding the G80 Arechetecture, since its on a unified shader setup, how does DX9 Handle its "shader assignment" or distinguish between vertex / pixel shaders since this a new DX10 Feature, is it done 3rd party in the Driver rather then through DX? also wouldn't this some what be slowing it down as it might now depend on cpu speed to properly work in a DX9 environment?

That is one heck of an OC man. I got one of the "AR" eVGA cards. While I had no artifacting and it was rock solid, the AR cards didn't OC quite as high. Great cards though. I'm playing @ 1600x1200 right now and I could slow that thing down pretty easily. I just sold it for $200 in stock form, so I didn't lose too much. I just hope I see an amazing amount of improvement for the extra $400 the 8800GTX will cost! :eek:

A 24" LCD is in my near future as well, so the 7900GT simply wouldn't cut it.

It is amazing the difference between 1280x1024 to 1600x1200 - a lot more pixels to fill. What played great on my vx922, now plays like crap on my 204B.

OK, back to drooling over the 8800GTX....
 
I'm going to pick up an 8800gtx tis wednesday hopefully but I can't help but wonder if its all that much faster than my 2 7800gtx's I currently have with my system. I mean I will run every game at max at my native res 1920x1200 but still I need to see comparison benchies. I know if I bought 2 8800 gtx's for sli it would be alot faster than minebut I really don't feel like dropping 1300 bucks at the moment. My plan was to get 1 now and then in like march when I build a new rig (quad core probably) then get a 2nd one for sli. But again I question if it even makes sense for me to get the 1 card right now. Opinions guys?
 
well, Frys Fountain Valley does not have them on the shelf. He must have gotten it from Burbank or Manhattan Beach.
 
$1300 worth of graphics cards and a lousy CPU from 2004 (at stock speeds, no less)? :eek: Dude, you seriously need to get an Core 2 setup and give us some scores with that. I imagine those cards would just open up and fly with some more CPU power.

Then again, I'm sure [H]ardOCP will give us these numbers next week (surely you guys are benching these with Kentsfied, right Kyle? :D).

The guy's *only* got the one 8800GTX...No one has seen the dual sli or Tri sli numbers for these things yet.

Soft shadows and AA dont work together.
 
OMG I Can not fricking wait for this thing.

I NEED IT NOW. NOW!!!!!

November the 8th, at 3:00 PM (The time i get out of school, this card shall be mine).

Look at those Oblivion fps's, and there's not AA. Definately not an overkill!
 
I guarantee this card will be easily slowed by some existing games and definitely near-future games at certain resolutions. There's no such thing as overkill in computers.
