Spring VGA Charts 2007

[pschmid]

April showers bring May flowers, and new graphics parts that require new VGA charts.

I would prefer the multi and single cards in one chart for comparison of the two. I would have thought most people would want to compare single to SLI/CF over SLI/CF to SLI/CF.

Also, it mentions DUAL and QUAD. What distinguishes dual SLI/CF from quad in your chart?

 

[jeff_2087]

Quad refers to the two 7950GX2s, each having two G71 chips, thus a total of four G71s.

Thanks for the info!

One more curiosity:

Why does everyone run the no AA / AF benchmarks at low resolutions? I assume this is for a non-GPU bound reference point? Or for low budget cards?

It would be nice to see a high res no AA / AF in addition.

I have to agree with this as I like being able to compare an SLI setup to a single card. I happen to run 2 7600 GT's in SLI mode and seeing how they compare to a 7900 is how I made my decision to use the 2 7600's.

This new system and using firefox browser to be able to differentiate my old graphics card system vs. my new is nice. It was easy to see that I was getting twice the performance than before.

Also, it clearly shows which games aren't SLI optimized, as some SLI setups have the same scores for just a single card, all games should by now be optimized for multiple GPUs. :x

OK... I'm frustrated. Some of the cards they have on the SLI/CF page aren't on the Single card page and many of the single cards aren't on the SLI/CF page. The latter I can understand since fewer people have SLI/CF setups and you can probably find one with similar performance (for example a 7800GTX 256MB SLI which IS on the chart would perform similarly to a 7900GS SLI). But for some reason the 8800GTS 320MB both vanilla and OC'd don't make it onto the single card page.

Where are these AGP cards you speak of?
It would be great if you could add in the X1950 and the 7600 AGP versions into these charts.

 

[barturtle]

Ummm...what were the system specs for the testing?

And it looks like FSX might be a better processor test than a graphics card test...At 10x7 even the mighty 8800GTX only doubles a X1300 Hypermemory? Just WOW!

 

[goldragon_70]

I wonder when the x1950xt wondered in there. :?: well, it's nice to finally see were my card ranks in the charts rather then to stare at the charts for minutes until, I think I know were it would place.

I too came here looking for system specs. Are they posted somewhere?

Anyone else notice the ATi 7800 GTX SLI (G70, 550Mhz, 1700Mhz, 512 MB GDDR3) Entry here on the dual and quad page.

 

[sandmanwn]

yep thats the new site. looked very plain at first. they are starting to add some more content and fill in the gaps.

unfortunately this is basically the charts we will have to live with for another 6 months or so until the next round up.

heres a link to the other vga charts

lol yeah just read it and was like "wtf?!" i thought more people would have noticed!
That's some real good editing :lol:

 

[ThunderChunky]

The lack of 8800GTS 320mb in the single graphics card charts is unforgivable.

 

[WeaponX]

I second that.

 

[Shizamaaur]

The Nvidia X1950XTX CF (R580+, 648MHZ, 1998 MHZ 512mb GDDR4) is awesome too!

 

[CompTIA_Rep]

Am I the only one who wants Tom to leave in all the old cards too?
I like to see how much technology has progressed. Im sure advertising would grant the time it takes to benchmark cards down to the FX / 9800 level.

 

[corvetteguy]

This is the first time i have found this chart usefull. It has games i play (BF 2142) and it has the res i want to buy a 24" monitor for (1900x1200)

Nice job guys.

Any idea what CPU(s) were used when testing?

The Microsoft Flight Simulator X has my interest peaked, especially with the massive bottleneck I can only guess can be attributed to the CPU.

Fist Post.


This thread is fake.

 

[Tsukasa]

Ahh, thank you. I read your post earlier but I couldn't figure what you meant. Thought it might have been some sort of joke I didnt get lol

Still curious about those Flight Simulator X benchies though :?

 

[HDDFreak]

Hmm, did I miss something, or is the X1950PRO crossfire missing?
No offense, but HOW THE HELL did a 8800gts 320mb stock sli config beat a 8800gtx sli config in BF2142. 8O
Lol @ the ATI 7800gtx too
