StriderX · 24 Oct 2011 at 18:10

If its from another site, download it and upload on tinypic/whatever.

Also some info on what we are comparing would be good like spec's and stuff....

The rig it was tested on is detailed at the bottom of each pic.

Where would the 6990 sit in that?

It should be well out infront of the gtx580. I would guess somewhere between 50-55 average.

who plays with 16x aniso ? turn that off get a lot more fps.

Eh? The minimum framerate improved by 10% on the 580 at 1900x1080. I'll have some of that!

wtf? my 570 2.5gb gets more than the 1.2gb version...by a huge amount! in the beta my average was about 40fps at 1920x1080. Then again i was using around 1.5gb of vram. I honestly thought the fps was around the same but seems that you defiantly need more than 1.5gb of vram for this game.

The beta performance with my 6850 was very good considering how cheap the card is so iam a happy man

Nvidiot · 24 Oct 2011 at 19:27

GTX570 beating the ATI 6950 despite the Vram deficit

and I also notice they haven't done a GTX570 test with the latest drivers either so things can only improve in that case.

Think you are confusing anisotropic filtering with anti-aliasing. 16xAF is easy to run with todays GPU's.

The 4xMSAA is the big performance killer in this game it seems. Turning it off completely boosts the performance a great deal.

Hmmm, no 5850/5870 or gtx 480s. Considering they are still as powerful as the new stuff.

Then surely the 6970 would beat the GTX570 in the 1920*1080 test rather than being on par?
