Not impressed at all... Very poor showing in Crysis VH... :( I will still probably get the card, but we'll have to wait for another generation until VH Crysis. I don't think the R700 will do it...

:thumbdwn: Looks like I'll be downgrading in a couple games...I just hope the performance gets better, not much time to mess around with only 15 days remaining in stepup.

Crysis Very High means DX10 and that means around 10FPS less compared to DX9.
DX9 with a custom config will give you the same, if not better, graphics with better performance.

Erm..wth happened with CoD4..That is one HELL of a difference in performance...and the price on GX2 is way cheaper...

The results are all over the place...i am hoping its a driver related issue.

If not..once the GTX280/260 comes out...i will purchase a GX2 since the price on that will drop alot..

Quad SLI wins most of the time over 280 SLI, keeps getting worse...

will wait and see how that ati card performs, if its also close to GTX 280. I'm going to buy GX2.

Yup I think so.

I will end up keeping my GX2's and pass on these new cards for awhile as I cannot run TRI SLI in my rig with my ARC-1231ML installed.

...with those results, i'm still happy with my 8800GT :D

Those results seem more realistic...min fps results are always handy.

Score are perfectly normal, GX2 have higher clocked shaders and 16 more shader procesors again GTX 280, i dont know what you expected guys :) and i hope new drivers improve fps, like they always did.

Anand has an article http://anandtech.com/video/showdoc.aspx?i=3334

Looks pretty solid and informative. Can't say I'm surprised at the numbers (cept for crysis)

[NoWayDude]

The GTX260 seems like a good bet on H review

[brady]

As soon as I saw that Guru 3D benched Crysis in "medium" settings I stopped reading. Retards. This is getting rediculous! Do people just not know that Crysis has "very high" settings? What is up with the review world? It's mind boggling! ONLY BENCH CRYSIS IN VERY HIGH!!!!!!!! For the love of all that's good and holy!

[spajdr]

Also chrisRay mention that with SLI they are no more hitches and micro stuttering with GTXes :)
