X1950XTX Benchies leaked!!!

[sirplayalot]

Wow! If these are real, this card is smokin!

Sorry if repost.

[jAkUp]

hmmm... twice as fast as a 7950GX2????! Looks like BS to me... but we will see.

[Lfctony]

Apparently, it's 2 X1950XTXs vs 2 7950s in quad SLI.

[Marvel_us]

Thanks for the heads up!

Seems like a pretty big performance boost with this card if true but not really worth upgrading for unless R600 is that far off.

[Dazz]

I don't know it seems about right when you think about the speed of the memory 2GHz = 64GB/sec bandwith w/ and with out as crossfire and SLI only increase GPU rendering power not bandwith.

The report says this:
While these early benchmarks show ATI’s X1950XTX/CrossFire beating out NVIDIA’s Quad SLI there’s more to the story. Since the benchmarks are only comparing performance with 4x anti-aliasing and 8x anisotropic filtering at most, it doesn’t show the true performance of NVIDIA’s Quad SLI. The true performance of Quad SLI being its capability to render high levels of anti-aliasing without taking a heavy performance hit.

Which is why you don't see them using x32 AA with x16 AF. Also, let me point out that ATI is using GDDR4 Memory and Nvidia is still using GDDR3 Memory.

Unless I get something larger than this 1600x monitor I'll be riding my single 7950 GX2 to a mid high point G80.

Ditto. Gonna hold onto my GX2 until R600 or G80 come out and go from there.

[Dazz]

I am holding out with my 7800GTX SLi cards till the R600 myself i think that will be the best card and will at least be 100% maxed out unlike modern video card where they may be 40-70% depending on what needs to be rendered either Vertex or Pixel.

[Mr_LoL]

That graph just looks wrong. Almost double the preformance in pratically every benchmark. Lies.

[Neophyte]

LMAO i feel sorry for the people who bought the 7950... for what ? Such short period of time.

Haha..I've heard that before...except it was for Conroe benchies that Intel released a while ago.

[hemmy]

sirplayalot, the numbers provided for conroe weren't from an anonymous system builder, they were tested by reputable sites. people who called shens on conroe were just in shock

I can only rationalize that Quad-SLI really doesn't seem to work that great in games as of yet, but idk how you can go from slower to twice as fast with an increase in memory speed

[K007]

So..the 7950 beats it on FEAR/Doom3..while does a mirror effect the otherway on the other games...if its Quad SLI it probalby just shows that Quad SLI works only on FEAR and Doom3..

Without more info the results are hard to actually take in..till we see some real solid info / benchmarks..this is probably just some bs..i mean there is something wrong with the results..how is it that FEAR shows lead on the GX2 while the other games show the other way...

The benchmarks compare ATI’s Radeon X1950XT in CrossFire against NVIDIA’s Quad SLI. The test setup used for NVIDIA’s Quad SLI is a Dell XPS 700 system equipped with an Intel Core 2 Extreme X6800, 1GB of DDR2-800 memory and two GeForce 7950GX2 graphics cards for four total GPUs. The ATI CrossFire test system is identical with the Quad SLI system except the nForce 590 SLI Intel Edition motherboard was swapped out for an early Radeon Xpress 3200 (RD600) motherboard and two ATI Radeon X1950XTX/CrossFire graphics cards.


Ok so system rig is show..hmm jeez how can you compare Quad SLI..thats stupid..but hey..w/e makes ATI happy..Atleast throw in a 7900GTX SLI rig result..these results just show me that Quad SLI is working well on the Doom3 Engine and Fear Engine. The other games are not fully supported...and we just today got 91.45...weak attempt on ati..i mean amd..i mean amdati..atiamd..amatid..

[J-Mag]

These benches are just marketing FUD, dailytech claims the 7950 results are quad sli when the graphs are showing lower than single 7950 results in most cases.

Use your brain noob.

U are asking too much.....:smoking:

Ya, these things are usually always made up but we will certainly see.

[SH64]

Most likely .. & thats whats being said in the article.
they forgot however that only a few games do work in Quad.

[DataMatrix]

May be able to beat it without AA/AF but SLi wins hands down with AA/AF.

[ViN86]

why does it feel like nvidia is always taking the leap of faith, then AMD is waiting so they can fix the bugs and say their hardware is better?

also, if it doesnt support DX10, then its pointless anyways.

some new nice shots of it looks damn nice.

[bordewisser]

Also, let me point out that ATI is using GDDR4 Memory and Nvidia is still using GDDR3 Memory.

Let me point out Ati/AMD is using two cores, where Nvidia is already using 4 cores...

[Bman212121]

Ya, these things are usually always made up but we will certainly see.

I would agree that it is full of BS. It says right in the article that the core clock is unchanged. Memory may help some, but unless it was bottlenecking the gpu before, then it's not going to make that big of a difference. Also, if they did something crazy to the chip, they probably would have started it in the x2000 numbers, so it is probably the same gpu just with the faster memory.

You are sure Judgmental.
