and the fact as its been noted here all or most major sites just use the inbulit gpu test or another benchmarking tool and dont' take ingame fps into account ocp does this with min avg and max so thats why its more than likely this is a better account of what the card can do!!!

You do realise that tests like OCP use are easy to skew?
They are not a reliable source for a comparison as the same test isnt performed on all the cards, there is always going to be variation no matter how hard you try.
In addition if the reviewer wanted to they could very easily make one result come out on top of the other by making sure they stayed out of graphically intensive areas

The only accurate measure for side-by-side comparisons are either scripted/time-demos where the enviroments are constant and the only difference is the card you are testing

If you want to see real world performance that is another matter, but it is a ridiculous method of comparing cards to be frank as there is no constistency at all

im with you on this one, TWO 3870s competative with a single 8800GTX, well woopdedo, thats shocking considering how old the 8800GTX is now, never wanted to say this but NVIDIA are the obvious choice for GFX cards at the moment, can't see any reason anyone would go with AMD? :confused:

Have a read of some reviews, in some games its scaling upto 50ps better than the gtx. Thats a healthy boost in anyones book.
 
Shock horror Hard OCP shows an ATi card in a bad light when most other reviews disagree

:rolleyes:

They are known NV fanboys sold out to NVIDIA longgggg ago.
 
Wtf actually, I think those crysis benchmarks are rubbish, umm I'll try it later but I think even in DX10 with ALL settings on medium its much faster than 26fps average with my setup :confused:
