Spring VGA Charts 2007

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

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

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.

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.

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!

as always, you cannot seem to update the uk site at the same time. this means that although i can read the forums about it but the link does not work for me.

how many times does this have to discussed. bloody frustrating. it is now 18:40 here in the UK so i see no reason for it.

Click on every score bar, a pop up will appear with the info you seek.

thanks for the link as i can now access it, also, the us site looks alot different from the uk one. does the main site look like that too?

by the looks of it they really screwed up seperating the charts between the dual and single setups. at least they have finally included 19x 12 res although more widescreen ones would be nice.

on the whole ok although i am still not happy with some of it. hell, they will nver get it right if such a state exists.

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

I second that.

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.

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.

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

I would like to also start seeing testing at 2560x1600 for those of us that use such large monitors (mainly for higher end cards and cf/sli setups) but i can say from more recent browsing of articles, this is one of the better updates you have done with little to no complaints unlike some of the other articles on overclocking and what not.

Uh.. how come the G71's can do HDR+AA now??

Im looking at the 3DMark06 sores and scratching my head. I have a X1950XT at the exact same GPU/MEM speeds as listed ont he charts. They used an X6800 and I only have an E4300. And thier score only like 3000marks. I get over 5000marks

whats the diff??

EDIT: I see those are subscores not overall. sorry.

O.o Where are the 8600 Benches? Certainly they've been out long enough?

>.> I wanted to compare them with the X1950s... but they're STILL not on the charts... Watch the R600 series beat them to the charts, too.

do you have any idea how long it takes to benchmark and compile the data for this. i don't but am sure it takes a bloody long time. also, how long do you think this article has been ready in comparison to the release of the 8600's. they have been out no time at all and you are complaining.

get real, grow up and try to remember the work that goes into to something as massive as this.

for that there is no excuse.

i mean they are busy but i doubt they are that busy, my onlyu guess is that they could not get a sample which i find hard to believe.

Im with sirrobin4ever on this one they said it would be the last chart to feature AGP, fair enough but where are they.
If ATI and NVIDEA can be arsed to make new AGP cards there must be a market so why not include them!

I was really glad to see BF2142 put in there and the extra resolutions are great! thanks Tom!

I can't imagine the 320mb GTS would be much different from the 640mb which is reason enough to leave it out however since they have included higher resolutions, it would make sense to have the 320 and 640 to make the comparison for 24"+ owners.

It seems to me the more i look at it the more its like they started doing it and went whoa this is gona take forever and just stuck some v/badly thought through rules to reduce the amount of work involved.
I do realise that it is indeed a heck of a lot of work to do it but lets do it properly or not at all.

X800xl included in hdr-r results -how? according to the chart it beats cards that actualy support the feature v/confusing if you dont know thing 1 about g/cards

Where are the mentioned last of the agp they said were included

What was the test bed are some cards bottle necked by the cpu or did they run it on something that people running x800 series cards wouldnt in a million years have in there pc

Mactronix

Thanks for that about the specs
