Sounds nice :)
For example we’ve had a long discussion with Mark Rein from Epic, the developer of the Unreal and Unreal Tournament games, and talked to him about shaders, anti-aliasing, performance, etc. and basically what he’d like to see in future graphics cards. Mark was genuinely enthusiastic about Nvidia’s new architecture, and not just because they’ve got a deal with Nvidia. Especially the shader 3.0 compatibility allows him to program more efficiently, faster and with higher fidelity than was possible with shader 2.0 or 2.0b. We could catch a glimpse of what he meant from the new Unreal 3.0 engine demos he showed during the presentation, which were nothing short of breathtaking.

During the briefing Nvidia did not shy away from getting down to detail about the NV40' features, of which some reminded us of 3dfx’ Rampage, a design which never made it to the market and to which Nvidia now owns the rights. But honestly the NV40 architecture is every bit as revolutionary as Geforce was, we'll have to give Nvidia credit for that.

Look at the right below conner, it looks like someone have painted away the logo.


Hehe yeah, well, if it wasn't for the funky 9800XT AA/AF scores i could believe that this actually is a leaked bench of an upcoming preview. I know i've seen that "chart design" before ,or what the heck you call it, but where i've seen it i have no idea. :D
But the faker probably used it and made a few changes. :p

Yes but that could be twimtbp-talk also ;) its difficult these days what to believe with these important comercial agreements.

I find the 4xFSAA 8AF R9800XT scores a little strange, they keep a steady 120 fps from 1024 up to 1600 .

But I hope these kind of performance is true, I can use some extra power in Far Cry.

That isnt the Ultra version! Do you really think a normal video card can cook rashers!

I think the Prescotts can :p I know it's a CPU rather than a GPU

[Nv40]

mmmm.. those benchies can't be true. specially the Radeon9800Xt ones.. notice that from 1600x1200 from 0aa/0af ->to 4xAA there is NO Performance drop ,and up to 4xaa/8xaf the 9800XT only lose a few fps(3 lines?) while the "Nv40 lose twice that.. and still manage to be almost 2x times the speed of the 9800xt.. :angel2:

it seems that the graphs were invented. since the behavior of both cards ,specially the 98XT doesnt follow anything we have seem in video cards in the past. Video cards are not fast ,later very slow ,and later incredible fast ,when you raise the resolutions. unless ATI new catalist drivers finally allows ~virtually free AA/AF at 1600x1200 resolutions. with that power they dont need to launch the R420 after all ,because near free AA/AF at utra high resolutions if not going to happen anytime soon. ..:screwy: :)

[Geforce4ti4200]

maybe the aurthor was cpu limited to the point he didnt gain fps with raising the res?

[goodman123]

This one is in french but it's saying that the R420 is a bit slower the the 6800u & according from some close sources , Ati said that having a score superior to 10000 in 3DMark03 would be a dream.

The GF6800u those a bit over 12500 in 3DMark03


Will soon know the truth in juin....or late may?
