Looks Like Nv40 Aint All That Impressive!

[Mad Cat]

I hate the way they've put them charts. A bar chart of averages would be much better to look at.

Guys guys guys.....check out these, dont rely on one set of benchmarks

Personally, I think thats pretty damn impressive that in some cases its 50% faster than the 9800XT. We all know how graphics intensive far cry is and look at the FPS scores, pretty damn good. Looks like they have upped their image quality also.

MORE impressive in game benchmarks

Whilst its not a huge jump, the scores are still impressive, and considering it seems to run Far Cry at 1600x1200 with ease, I think it blows most current cards out of the water. Cant wait to see ATi's offering now.

Oh and by the way, my prediction for Pixel Shader 3.0 taking a long time to be used? Wrong . Its already here, and rumours are that ATi doesnt support it.

Games that are going to be updated to use or already use Pixel Shader 3.0:


Lord of the Rings: Battle for middle Earth
Far Cry
Painkiller
Grafan
Driver 3
Madden 2005
Tigerwoods 2005
Splinter Cell X
Vampire Bloodlines
Stalker

If it turns out that the rumours are true and the X800 doesnt support it, I think ATi may be in a world of hurt.
