That's what happened.

The 6950 wouldn't be awfully sluggish now would it? The faster GTX480 isn't awfully sluggish at 4x in the slightest.

This sparked some stupid "I must prove Martin wrong" crusade by Davie.

Lol, no you keep proving yourself wrong saying theres no difference then posting links to images clearly showing a difference.
You resorted to the Fanboy term in a silly attempt to discredit what I posted, even though I use Intel and AMD and have probably spent more on Intel stuff to be honest?

And now the troll argument, weve had the fanboy one can you not resort to name calling?
So in your above images are the actual results not lower than the x16 for x4? Even if it is only a small difference?

I don't understand the leaked benchmarks. They HAVE to be wrong, AMD wouldn't try selling it at that price if it couldn't compete with SB at all.

It makes no sense.

oh for goodness sake, quit moaning about sandybridge motherboards for three graphics cards and PCIe lanes and get yourself an Asrock Z68 extreme 7 gen3

that will happily do SLI/crossfire at x16/x8/x8

tripple at PCIE 2.0 x16 (PCIE1) / PCIE 2.0 x8 (PCIE4) / PCIE 2.0 x8 (PCIE6) mod

*edit*
the benchmarks clearly show that there will be a small difference, between x4, x8 and x16 which increases as the resolution does

I said there was a frigging difference about 8 times now. That's why I said you're trolling.

Pci-e 3 please.

This is just a bad case of Pre BD Tension. It will all be gone tomorrow and we can all revel together in either joy or misery but if the build up is anything to go by my bet is on further uncertainty.

In fact I'm going to point to the elephant in the room and say this. With so little coverage and so few benchmarks less than 24 hours before the products meant to be out AND the fact that we've not even had a small smattering of decen benchmark leaks. I'm going to say that BD won't come out tomorrow and in fact there is a further delay

You'll be waiting a while for AMD to give you that

Youve just jinxed us! If they delay im a hang you by your nut sack!!! Lol :eek:

Asus has a working slot I believe, they tested the revo-drive PCI-E harddrive, major boosts in speed. Do want.

But it uses a chip which means increased latency = stuttering. Atleast that's what I hear.

grandmaster · 11 Oct 2011 at 14:41

Does BD support Tri Channel DDR3?

AFAIK it only does dual channel?

I said it shows a difference, however, the difference decreases as the resolution increases, at least in the case of Dirt 3 ;

Yeh the NF200, which won't do PCI-E 3.0 (IIRC), there would need to be a new revision to it, as it's not running at the right speeds?

Yeah its only Dual, have given up on the flip flops of difference no difference from Martin now as theres not a cat in hells chance of Martin ever being wrong and I'll end up rising up the table of posting too much in this thread lol.

You're definitely trolling, I can clearly see there is a difference, it's just small, as I've been saying all this time.

I even showed a benchmark and said 20 FPS difference....... :confused:
