Here's my entry

Wrong test

Vista 64

Runs on average 10fps faster for me under DX10,but alas it stutters with the hotfix drivers as for most single card user's(just look at the graph on dx19 for the minute spikes). Hurry ATI or Ubi sort it out.

Wrong test

Will post a screenie soon, but here is my DX9 results
average 78.60
max 126.42
min 57.64

DX10 takes quite a big hit compared.
average 52.72
max 75.66
min 36.58

[email protected], 4 gig ram 1.1 467fsb. 4870x2 stock speeds.
I actually play at 1920*1200 with 16x AS no AA, DX10 mode and it runs really well

Might have a little play with my clocks later as I can get more out of CPU and GPUs are stock.
Should be able to break 80 fps on the DX9 test

Just done this test at 1920*1200 and it runs just aswell in DX9
average 78.06
max 118.77
min 56.01

Hmm was expecting better, i noticed most of you use Intel cpu's is this where my problem is ? or a bios setting ? or something not supported fully.

maybe its the 512mb ram looks like the 1gb on the x2 has its advantages.

any help would be apprechiated just seems quite a bit off the mark

mobo is asus M3A79-T deluxe.

Graphics memory size means nothing, its all about the speed. There are lots of crappy 1gb cards out there such as the dredded 9600GT etc that basically get owned by lesser 512 cards.
 
You said "lesser 512" cards... that means slower cards with 512mb memory. More memory can be helpful in some situations, such as with high AA/High resolution.

For example:

In FarCry 2 @ 1920x1200 the 4850 1024mb is 22% faster than the 512mb version of the same card.

What I meant was memory size is not AS important. Any by the looks of it so far the FC2 benchmark test (especially the one above) is really scewed up with messy results, not a proper card comparison if you ask me.
