Hi,

Seems like the first more credible review is out. It's in Japanese but the graphs are pretty clear

Looks very promising.

Just so you know...

sorry FF users, the site only supports ie. the pending upgrade of our site will begin this week

so all you FF users will have to fire up your IE.

Card is up there with the GTX without AA applied, with some AA applied it feels the burn but is still much faster than a GTS, what a cracking card if these benchies are correct

fat chance of that happening, id rather not see

Still something funny going on with CoH and the GTS/GT's performance though. That can't be down to lack of shaders.

Agree with Tom, looks like a nice performing card for the money

If it's correct then the GTX has nothing to fear, it's still the top card

If the G92 (D8P) is nearly is up there with a GTX think what D8E is going to be like

Looks like the card sucks in DX10 though.

Looks nice but this is the same source that had the benchmarks of GTX beating Ultra etc recently. A lot of people cried 'foul' but if they're running through with FRAPS or something you can get that sort of difference.

This late in the proceedings I'm more inclined to believe the results.

Hmmm. With specs like that I wonder why NVidia have decided to put a bridging SKU in between the 640MB GTS and the GTX. Hopefully the price point will answer that one.

Tom|Nbk · 23 Oct 2007 at 11:46

Power consumption

Things are going to get very interesting when the new 8800GTS makes an appearance.

We knew that anyway.

Still the benchies look good for the GT over the GTS at the res I game at

gtx will still be a top card but its the price that makes these what they are 150 tops for a near top end card is amazing.if we dont get swindled by rip off britain these will sell like hotcakes.

TheRedZealot · 23 Oct 2007 at 11:57

Looks like the benchies i found earlier may be correct after all.

jrodga2k5 · 23 Oct 2007 at 11:57

I may indeed be tempted to part with my Pro if it is true

BUt again have to wait for a more credible source, I await the guru etc

eyetrip · 23 Oct 2007 at 11:57

I wonder how accurate that is? It almost looks worth selling my GTX for. Much lower power consumption, with not much loss in performance?

Plus, tired of having big, bulky GTX in my case.

only reason to sell a gtx for this card is money probs in my eyes .you might aswell keep your gtx.

I will buy it!

Check out the Bioshock Dx10 test, at 1920x1200 there is only a 3fps difference.

the AA seems to hit this card hard at higher resolutions aswell.

I will be buying one of these if these benchies are true
