Breaking news, first benchmarks for the fermi are leaked.

I also notice that ;)

Instantly I am reminded of this.

Rroff, I know you're desperate to talk up Fermi but this is a 100% fake troll thread.

Looking at those benchmarks the GTX 3xx seems to be more powerful than we expected, I am surprised.

Sorry green team, but your princess is in another castle... :cool:
 
Well, obviously if the benchmarks are true and reflect similar performance in other games then ATi has something to worry about. But ATi's drivers still have a way to go with the potential for some considerable improvements. And where are the DX11 benchmarks? The tessellation results will be interesting due to nVidia's different approach. And where are the 5870 Crossfire results? Afterall, the 5970 is designed for overclocking / overvolting and easily surpasses 5870 Crossfire performance.

We don't know the final pricing, what ATi has to offer with follow-up products and/or drivers, or when they're finally going to be released. But if we're talking about a single GPU nVidia card offering that sort of performance at a vaguely realistic price then things are going to get interesting.

Two 5870's at my clocks would beat your 5970 by a good 10%

For starters you have to pay more for such a setup and, more importantly, I can't run two dual-slot graphics cards without losing all my PCI slots (one of which I need for my soundcard, an 18 input / 20 output card I use for multitrack recording). I can clock my card considerably higher but the noise starts to become an issue. As soon as ATi gets some better drivers out I'll try to push it a bit further. If I were to grab a Firewire soundcard to replace my current one (around £400; my current one cost me £350) then I could add a 5850 or another 5970 in Crossfire at a later date, though I'm in no hurry to do so.

Troll thread it migh be - but the results aren't that far out for the quoted specs - tho the quoted specs seem to be well off... if you scale the figures by the difference compared to specs elsewhere they do show fairly believeable performance figures.
