Actually the 9 series is exactly the same Card just re labeled...

No it doesn't. It says the 9800GTX is 3% faster

Nice site though. Will be adding it to my bookmarks

Above the GTX285 for some reason.

Sadly it isnt, it's worse than a 8800GTX

Ah what I meant was 8800GTS, no sorry the 9800GTX+, err no wait definitely the 250GTS

nice chart, according to that my new rig will have 92% improvement cpu wise and 79% improvement gpu wise :cool:

Helpful little chart - and I appear to be better off getting a friend for my 280GTX than a new 5870 - bargain!

Nameless_87 · 23 Nov 2009 at 21:14

very useful chart...

it seems I'll be getting a 5870 and crossfire later...

should last me for a while i reckon

Saw this chart and thought it might be useful to some here, compiled from hundreds of datasets and normalized into one chart.

thanks for that

just what i was looking for

I'm planning on Crossfiring two 5870's or using a single 5970... I'd see 300% (ish) performance boost over my current 8800GTX apparently...

Hmmm...

28% improvement from my Q6600 to a i7 920 as well.

CPU changeover doesn't fill me with that much confidence now; but the graphics card upgrade still does

The older cards with reviews on older drivers are being unfairly punished in the collation I think.

Cards released around the same time seem to have the order I remember when reading reviews.

Take the 9800gtx+ and HD 4850 for example. But then the GTS 250 for no reason whatsover is slightly better.

Doesn't really matter if item X is 0.1 above or below another one.

It's still going to say if you're got one within a few tenths of another it's not worth the change.

GTX 280 SLI > Radeon 5870

-3% increase

I'll wait this gen out

jorzeh · 24 Nov 2009 at 02:41

Not sure how this can scale like it says since does the cpu not make quite a big differance on preformance of a Gpu i mean if i bought a 5970 i don't think i would quite see 71% more frame rate over my 4870x2.. with my fairly gimping Cpu

Darg · 24 Nov 2009 at 02:46

Hadn't realised how much performance has increased in the last year or so. 5970 is 342% faster then my 2900XT

Borden · 24 Nov 2009 at 02:53

Haha, my 5850 is a 885.71% increase over my old 6600GT SLI rig

Hmm says a 5870 is 16% faster than a GTX295, not sure about that

was the over way round at launch, I agree. I can't believe driver updates have improved it that much!
