from both anandtech reviews.. Unreal Tournament 3 Beta Demo seems to refining the benchmark of both cpu and GPU..

I'm more impressed on GPU performance on this games as the x1950pro and X2600XT spanking 7900GTX for good!! and the cheaper 2600XT is on par with the more expensive 8600GTS

erm.. i'll coose my vga card very carefully after reading this

cool, my gfx card isnt even listed on there
but i'll be pretty dumb to play the game at 1600x1200 if any competitions.

I just booked 7900GTO from albirri.. erm.. have to re-think now.. but takut kena accuse ffk

note that AMD X2 6400+ at 3.2GHz is not a match for E6550 at 2.33GHz

so when Penryn is out, i dont know how much is the gap

err.. anyone want to sell thier X1950XTX

take it with a pinch of salt...still beta demo.
Does seem pretty right if u ask me, except hard to believe the 79xx series doing so poor.

If there ever was one, a Crysis beta benchmark will be even more confusing.

yeah.. you're right.. i confuse a bit on 7900 performance.. so poor..

i'll wait for crysis benchies.. then i'll choose my next-gen card..

nvidia driver not yet optimized for UT3? cuz doesnt seem right, 2600xt beating 7900gtx and 8600gts? that sound new to me...

that was a lie..definitely a lie

thanks for the first link..
as expected.. amd cpu is no more better for next gaming experience..
sicked waiting for phenom.. better switch to darkside oc kaw² or wait for penryn..

This depends on what the software optimised really. I do feel that some game prefer ATi while others will be better on nvidia. that's why game mag usually use multiple games to benchmark Graphic Cards

UT is always nVidia optimized... since UT2k4...
and this shows how bad AMD is compared to Intel... and the AMD fanboys juz dunno when to give up...

only in low-res is the game CPU-bound, that is because in low-res, your GPU is under lower load, and can handle ALL the data your CPU is feeding it. In such a case, the more your CPU can feed the more FPS you get. In hi-res, the situation is reversed. If Anandtech dare to do a CPU comparison at 1600x1200, you will not see such a difference.

ultra win gtx with differents of 0.7 wow....

Any game with the label "The way it's meant to be played" would prefer Nvidia since they uses more of Nvidia's tools and test labs.

Not surprising for the CPU benchmark result...

Sidenote: UT 3 also has *another* video ad. Besides nVidia, there's a Core 2 Xtreme ad too. Ahem?

Still, the 7900 is pretty weak compared to the X1900 series from the start. Shader power was lacking, it can't do HDR+AA, and it's quite hot (GTX). Plays all Unreal 3 games lousier than an 2600XT = the new lawlz.

face it, the core microarchitecture is better than k8

yup that's true, the x19 series definitely is the most powerful last gen gpu in terms of shader, but i dun agree with ur statement about the gtx temp being hotter than x1900xt and yes x1950pro is cool, but xt is another story... my previous x1950xt can heat up my room and every gaming session turns into sauna session as well

err.. what do u mean by that??

Added on October 20, 2007, 4:16 am i know 7900GTX is cooler than X1900XTX, but turn your room into sauna??

got or not

yup, my room is small and dun have enuff airflow, so when my is in 1950xt full load, hot air coming out from the exhaust can heat up my room until about
38-40c but, luckily i dun have this prob with my 8800gts

ok wat..u r like having a free spa..hehe

anyway..i see that almost all unreal games are friendly with every gc available in market,from low end to high end..with playable framerate..

I remember last time i play unreal 2004 smoothly with geforce 2 reso 800*600,everything is low setting but still got some beautiful effect such as water reflection n etc..

so I do think this upcoming unreal also will be doing the same way..good thing to all unreal fan(no matter rich or poor )
