The Pro they got clocked to XT speeds.the 2950xt i will be in a wait and see position Most likely a lot can go a bit more from the Pro stock clocks, beating the 8800GTS. When I get a HR-03 R600 I'd be doing a review too. |

wah lolhalol and ctskl on a verge there...
anyways, i never really stand on 3dmarks bench cuz its always been the fact that the graphics cards makers (ati and nvidia) they pay futuremark to up the ante for their cards in this test and that test this was reported i think a year or two ago the same goes for games like fear, it likes nvidia more the same goes for oblivion and as for half life 2, it likes ati better bench on quake 4, far cry, lost planet (the best) try ur cards on lost planet that'll be the in thing btw, 2950 pro is coming either november or the latest early december tapi it still wont be that cheap but price aint what we are concerned if the performance is really on par with its publications...what more with the DX10.1 and all haha |

(Unbelievable) like fear, it likes nvidia more the same goes for oblivion and as for half life 2, it likes ati better bench on quake 4, far cry, lost planet (the best) try ur cards on lost planet that'll be the in thing  Oblivion likes the new ATI because of shader power BTW. As for DX10/Driver improvements on the HD2XXX, I think this post will explain it the most: http://www.rage3d.com/board/showpost.php?p...13&postcount=61 |
