@Wodenenus

You ASKED for something equivalent, so I kindly came out with one that runs games pretty well too- even the nV sponsored one laugh.gif

Heh... maybe it does.. but it's not Rm270 smile.gif even if it's a Rm30 difference, that's a really good dinner smile.gif

Haha apparently you do not know wodenus.

DX9 was pretty much in spec as both vendors know what code they were facing against (well, besides Geforce FX- nvidia always right? RIGHT?) so they did have the balanced solution for whatever was next.

Please elaborate. How is this different from now? How did they know then and suddenly not know now? It's not like dx10 spec was suddenly pushed upon them. It's not like the dx10 games were developed in 3 weeks. So what is your point?

(@ikanayam- Far Cry was shader power bound, IS fillrate bound. X1900s were shader monsters.)

You completely missed the point. R600 is vastly superior in ALL those measures (at least on paper). So why is it losing to a x1950? If you don't see that as a sign of a problem somewhere (drivers and/or hardware), then i'm not sure what to say...


QUOTE(X.E.D @ Sep 8 2007, 04:19 AM)
R600 and G80 instead are very different in the aptitude in which they handle certain code, and most code that nV "sponsors" do not take much use of R600's skinny stream units, leaving the fatty ones to do all the work. Lost Planet's was brutal. Optimizations in general? Sure. Deeper level un-crippling? Sure, IF AMD was the sponsor of BioShock. Now that the game's out, the code's done, IMHO little can be done to get the HD2900XT run faster than the GTX- at DX10, like it did in DX9.
But keep in mind that nV can't sponsor every game. wink.gif

Most intriguing. Can you give an example of what they do that takes uses mostly the "fat" units and does not use the "thin" units? And how is G80 different in handling such cases? Be as detailed as possible.
