NV40 benchmarks

(1/2) > >>

MetalMilitia:
some benchmarks for the nV40 have been released, look...

-38K marks in 3DMark 2001SE

-Halo ( no AA, 8x AF ) 1600x1200 51.1fps

-Far Cry ( no AA, no AF ) 1600x1200 53.4fps

-UT2004 ( 4xAA, 4xAF ) 1600x1200 71.9fps - 1280x960 82.9fps ( both botmach )

-Star Wars Kotor ( 4xAA, 8xAF ) 1600x1200 49.3fps

and these are with non final drivers.

also another quote..

"Even if the R420 is a 12-piped card, it would have to be clocked at 633Mhz to have the same fillrate as that."

And that isnt going to happen.
So it looks like nvidia is going to be ontop again (yay).

Thanks for the links MM, I love looking at the latest technologies, even though I won't be buying a leading-edge video card any time soon.  :(  I can't wait for the pci express standard to come out. The mountain of used AGP cards on ebay will be good bargain hunting.  After all, yesterdays tech is good enough for me!

I'll always be an ATI grrl!  Far as I'm concerned they can't be beat.

MetalMilitia:
Nvidia isnt going to make the same mistake twice. Im betting the NV40 is going to be very good. Its totally different from the FXs (hence why they have dropped the FX from the name, i.e. Geforce 6800).

I'm betting that those 3DMark scores are due more to driver hacks than to the merits of the NV40. I highly doubt that ATi and nVidia's new GPUs are going to vary massively in performance. As it is now, the 9800XT and GFFX5950 are fairly close in performance in DX8.1 and lower games (with the NV card being slightly faster), and the ATi cards offer as much as a 50% better framerate in DX9 games utilizing pixel shader 2.0. I suspect this next generation will be the same where one company's card will be good at one thing and the other company's at something else. Preliminary reports of NV40 scoring 12k in 3DMark03 are most likely not accurate, or are due to nV's infamous driver hacking. Never in the history of video cards has the next generation offered a 100% raw performance increase over the previuos generation. I say 100% increase because with non-dodgy drivers, the GFFX 5950 gets around 6k-6.5k in 3DMark03. A score of 12k would imply a near 100% increase. Even a default score of 10k in 3DMark03 is a bit hard to swallow. 8-9k seems more probable. 38K in 3DMark01 seems very unlikely as well.
