Ofcourse the accuracy is questionable (due to driver support etc etc), but better than nothing I guess :D

113% of 8800 Ultra
123% of 8800 GTX
159% of HD3870
 
possibly fake?.. Is this card actually from the new 9xxx series? I was reading somewhere that it is just two cores from the 8800 series and they've slapped the 9 in the front in the hope of marketing the product? can anybody confirm?
 
Actualy the results dont look that far fetch'd to be hounest. It is after all just two cards in SLI so its not to much of a stretch of the imagination that SLI GTS's are going to perform aswell as there doesnt seem to be anything overly superior at work apart form the fact you only need one PCI-E X16 slot to enjoy the benefits of a SLI rig.
 
lol, people are so jumpy about the next gen cards. Are they new cores entirely?

not as far as we know

honestly, i was starting to think if buying 2 GT's was the right choice, if these results are even slightly accurate, i know ive made a good decision.

£350 for a faster gfx set up than a £400+ dual card
