Benchmark showing pixel shader 4

I cant believe they have not made any reall improvments. Its been what 3 months so far.

What is the point in ATi releasing worse drivers.

That reeks of crappy DX10 drivers from ATi, they best improve soon.

Do you really think this is true?

Maybe its NV fanboys making it up? I hope to god this aint true, If this is true I'm deffenitly going to go back to a GTS I think, if that benchmark is true it surely means crap DX10 performance for the 2900 series.

No it's not made up its a real benchmark the problems are is ATi suck at DX10 drivers atm. A lot of work for them to do. But if you really believe that the 2900XT can't do better than an 8600GT in DX10 then shame on you and I'll eat 100 hat's if it turns out true once the drivers are perfected

Hmmm how have you applied for the program?

gareth170 said:
nope isn't true

It's a real benchmark with real results problem is the 2900 just aint DX10 ready yet

from a driver point of view.

willhub · 23 Jul 2007 at 23:12

Ok, because if those benchmarks do turn out to be true, then I dunno, it really will of been one of the worst things I could have done moving from an 8800, I mean now I could sell the 2900 for around 150 quid and get a GTS 320, but if those benchmarks turn out to be true, the 2900's will be worth next to nothing

Seems like the 2900's need to make a 200% increase in DX10 then, well at least in that benchmark, I find it unlikely it will improve, its safe to say the 8800GTS will be faster in DX10, I mean, 50fps for an 8800 Vs 15 on the 2900, my wallet is crying, I'm just angry that I believed people who said I would be happy with this card and that its as fast as a GTS, turns out I've downgraded :rolleyes:

If they do turn out to be true ill be the first to admit i was wrong and shove my 2900 in the bin believe me. But I knwo it isn't. I'd let those nvnews boy's enjoy there glory though :rolleyes:

If they are true, I will be shoving my 2900 in the bin litrally, it wont be worth the efford to sell it, DX9 looks good on the 2900's, at least with 0AA.
