Tomshardware contradicts itself..

[IntelOwnz]

While reviewing the 8800GT, I noticed Tomshardware has this review:
http://www.tomshardware.com/2007/10/29/geforce_8800_gt

in which it shows the GT is a bit slower than the GTX.

But on their vga charts:
http://www23.tomshardware.com/graphics_2007.html

when you compare the two, the GT wins hands down everytime, the only card faster is the Ultra.


I'm so confused.

You are looking at a benchmark at low ress and no AA. Try a 1920x1200 4xAA.

Good lord, Toms is still an actively read website?
That guy has been doing crap reviews since I joined this website 6 years ago, seems he is still as worthless as when he did his "Intel CPUs can run without heatsinks, AMD's catch on fire" crap. Sigh, some things really DON'T change.

"Intel CPUs can run without heatsinks, AMD's catch on fire"

Never heard of Tom's Hardware but what the fuck haha.

Tom's is rather popular... just like Anand's site.

"Intel CPUs can run without heatsinks, AMD's catch on fire"

AMD XPs can get up to 500 degrees F without a heatsink.

AMD XPs can get up to 500 degrees F without a heatsink.

So then whats the general consesus???

8800gt vs 8800gts vs 8800gtx


looking for the best performance at 1680x1050, all new games CoD4, Cyrsis, UT2007, etc

er, nvm. repost.

The GTX has the fastest performance of the three, with a significantly higher price tag.

The GT or the GTS 512MB are currently the best value for the high-end at the $250-350 price bracket, and are only marginally slower than the GTX.

Would 512mb be recommended for gaming at 1680x1050 with a little aa/af? i am never sure where the cutoff is, because you only need the more memory for higher resolutions, correct?
