7900GT 3D Mark Scores?

Link

smids · 3 Mar 2006 at 01:29

Pretty good. About the same as a GTX Extreme edition then at stock, and cheaper. A card to match the 256MB X1800XT which scores virtually the same.

DannyW · 3 Mar 2006 at 01:33

suppose its ok, pretty much exactly 1000 more points then mine (in 05 and 06). not worth the upgrade in my opinion, i rather have a X1800XT 256mb

Goksly · 3 Mar 2006 at 01:44

Thats a lot better than it seems -> only 512mb ram.... only a 1.8ghz cpu.
With a 2.7ghz opty /1gb ram I would expect that to be faster than an X1800XT. I think loadsmoney has a X1800XT + 2.2ghz amd and gets around 8.5k....
I have the X1800XT and 2.7ghz opty and get 9.4k. so er yeah... around 10k with a 2.7ghz opty by the looks of things. Quite impressive.

But is it in SLI??? Then it's not faster than 1800XT at all then?

Sumanji · 3 Mar 2006 at 02:12

Yeah that's 2 in SLI?! That's pretty poo then, in 3DM'03 a single card wouldn't be much better than what I currently get

but as Goks said there will be a certain degree of bottlenecking.

[edit] Just seen:

in 3dmark 2003 only get score of a single 7900GT drivers issue

Goksly · 3 Mar 2006 at 02:18

Thought the second picture was single card.... i think it probably is (in which case its a decent score) but the 2nd card might be helping out to some extent.... jury is out till better benchmarks (faster cpu / single gpu).

@sumangs quote: its meant to be 2005.

Sumanji · 3 Mar 2006 at 02:33

[edit] Ignore... I dunno wtf is going on with those benchies

Goksly · 3 Mar 2006 at 02:48

typical

toucam · 3 Mar 2006 at 02:53

What is going on with those benchmarks? Perhaps someone with good photoshop skills

j/k

Right, because I suppose you're fluent in a wide array of oriental languages aren't you darling

(I'm talking about the original source here btw!)

Goksly · 3 Mar 2006 at 03:21

right, because im supposed to mind read and assume that you go looking at sites in chinese? actually... that sounds exactly like something you would do

Err, the original source has always been a Taiwanese site, I haven't gone out of my way to find that page :rolleyes:

The XS guys are just speculating on why the benchies are a bit odd, and making rough translations of what the Tai guys are saying. Are you basing your opinions on the poorly translated 3rd party comments on XS instead of the original Tai site?!

...actually wait, that does sound like something you'd do

And dude I've seen you snapping at loads of people with sarccy comments over the past couple of weeks. Not cool. Maybe try and be a *bit* nicer? Good social skills will get you far in life!

It looks like those images have disapeared from XS but they can be found here: LINK

Cool thanks

. Hmm....they are actually in SLi then....that's poor. Probably shift slightly upwards on the current gen of cards but not what was expected.

Got to be something wrong with those scores. I score around 8050 05Marks with my 3500+ overclocked to 2508Mhz and single 7800GT at 490/1.18

JonnyGLC · 3 Mar 2006 at 09:25

I wouldn't even look at those scores and consider it, there's a 1.8ghz cpu powering it, that's an absolutely huge bottleneck. Wait till some real review sites get hold of the 7900 with their dual core FX-60's. Then we'll see how they perform

D.P. · 3 Mar 2006 at 10:11

Importnatly, these are only the GTs, whihc don't differ too much to curent standard GTX cards.

Theres an extra 45-50% increase in clock speed with the 7900.

Yeah but if nVidia were selling goats you'd still be trying to get people to install them into a PCI-E slot :rolleyes:

I agree. And I'm keen to see the reviews.

However, even with further optimisations that the die shrink could have afforded nV Engineers, it aint gonna be that much faster than a current GTX with 24 pipes and similar clock speeds. It'll be interesting to see B3D's review as I'm sure they will clock a standard 7800 GTX and a 7900 GT to the same core and mem and see if the optimisations yield any real world performance increases.

That said, as always, the price will determine the value.

If I could have waited a little longer on AGP I would now have got the 1800XT instead of the 7800 GT because atm IMO the x1800XT is the best Bang For Buck (tm) card out at the moment.
