Well i've just been digging around in the Crysis config files.

If you have a look in the config folder there are 2 sets of files, one for amd/ati cards and one for nvidia cards.

In each of these files it lists what default mode the card should run in.

Out of all the cards listed only 3 have setting 4 (highest) as their default.

Those cards are:

8800GTX
8800Ultra

And...

8800GT...

LOL the signs are not looking good for ATI's RV670 aka HD 3000 series, it hits the heady heights of 2 for the GFX settings in crysis, medium, yuk.

sweet jesus if that is for real then i will die a happy man!

Oh oh, hope that bench wont hold true for other games when AA is applied or we could another 2900 and its AA performance bashing session again but this time the GT will be taking it, though the UT3 bench is better with AA. Man this card is going to rock for the price its going to be. :eek:

FishThrower · 28 Oct 2007 at 22:00

Me too, got to buy Bioshock, UT3, crysis and HL2 ep2 after as i held out for a new card! I was going to get the GTS last month until i heard of this card, looks like we wont be dissapointed

LoadsaMoney · 28 Oct 2007 at 22:12

Something odd about that review, only Crysis with AA crippels the GT down to less than 6 frames, yet in the likes of UT with 4x AA its still right on the GTX. :confused:

Must be a driver issue, I cant see the AA hit on the GT been anything as bad as a 2900XT!.

neocon said:

Be very angry, but we all know they will be way under £200.

steve258 · 28 Oct 2007 at 22:19

OMG It is too good to be true tbh!

Wouldn't be surprised if the initial launch price is closer to £200 region.

Kanifee · 28 Oct 2007 at 22:20

Hasnt jokester or one of the other mods allready stated starting price for a ocuk one is £135/£140?

It was Gibbo.

TBH I think those benhmarks above are a load of crap, look how close the numbers are for the GT - GTX, just seems fake.

steve258 · 28 Oct 2007 at 22:22

Yes but you'll never know, besides I don't think the prices Gibbo quoted include VAT.

neocon · 28 Oct 2007 at 22:23

ok , but markets are dictated by supply and demand

if its as good as a gtx in some instances, and nearly half the price..well the price ought to increase

ive got £170 (fingers crossed)

Hamoodii · 28 Oct 2007 at 22:24

theres one on ebay for 156 buy it now and the seller is stating them as readily available for dispatch

Just seen the 2900Prp advert, if the prices for the 8800GT dont include Vat which means the OcUK 8800GT is more like £150+ then certainly not worth buying from here because they will be higher than others stored by quite abit!

Yes but they come from China lol.

Yah, i cant see for the green mist now

GT is in the bag, i pray ATI's forthcoming cards deliver vastly over the 2900 and compete with the GT, otherwise ATI are in deep crap.
