Can't these benchmarks be fiddled by having performance rather than quality selected in driver cpl?
Yes but it makes very little difference. Most people bench with it on high performance anyway its not really fiddling.

nice clocks m8
incredible bench score for a single 3850
yep that looks unusually high for a moderately clocked GTX when vogon above me only has a couple more fps with an Ultra @ 720.
isnt this just testing the gpu , should we not test the cpu benchmark to ? or use the assult map to test both ?

40.765fps

Q6600 @ 2.53GHz
8800GT @ 660/1600/900
Vista 32
I'm not even pushing my system...lmao. I love a quiet system and rightly so, it's more quiet than the Acer Turion64 laptop!
XP seems to be giving much better results than Vista... surprise, surprise.
Indeed but heat levels do increase though and to compensate fanspeeds need to be increased manually to keep the temps down.
If I had a g0 Q6600 I would be at 3ghz 24/7 but at 2.6GHz the idle temps are almost dead on 60 per core with a F7P on AS5.
At the moment I have all fans at 50% power (GPU fan is stock 29% power of course) which gives me an ambient hum of airflow and nothing more.
But to be honest I game at 1680x1050 and not 1280x1024 so a test such as this means nothing to me nd the rumour of 9800 coming out in Feb/March is way more appealing
Has the list been updated yet in the first post? I can only see a few entries?
