Check my other posts for test setup. Everything in these games were maxed out

Crysis ran 1280x1024 Very high (shadows were low)

What's the point of very high if you're disabling Crysis' beautiful soft shadows? :pt1cable:

Doesn't impact much on beauty. It still makes it beautiful...With the soft shadows turned on. The AA frames drop to around 25. WWhile the aA off stays around 40-60.

What resolution did you run the tests at? I hope you didn't do them all 1280x1024. If you have that card and are using that resolution I'm beyond confused. That's like getting a porsche 911 turbo to drive the speed limit.

And I felt like I was going a little overboard with an 8800GT 512 on a 19" 1280x1024.

well a) I bought this car because the 1900 GTs still couldn't cut it maxed out on some games.

b) future games will be limited.

c) technically you buy a porsche to show off not to speed...you kno how high your insurance will be if you get caught? And if you have a porsche who do you think the cops will pay most attention to? Stupid example San Pedro...

I doubt that this is the point of the post. I like seeing high frame rates is there a problem?

I don't get why ppl think i'm looking on advice whether my investment is right or not. Please if your looking to complain don't bother. I'm just putting up benchmarks for people too see the difference in Frames...not to get a lecture.

Thnx

Man, I couldn't disagree more.

These are nice drivers though; thanks for the benches :) . I really wish sites like Tom's would do driver reviews, but that would be a lot of work...

Yeah it is a good example. People who buy porsches don't care if they get tickets. And that card doesn't perform any better in a good amount of games at that resolution than cards 1/2 the price, but it's your money.

Yes because benchmarks don't speak for themselves? Go around and look at benchmarks then come talk to me:)

Arguments about analogies are a lot like pigs with a whole lotta snow piled on them, they're retarded (try doing an analogy while snow pig piling, it's like driving a Corvette with a Ford's body and an N64's bitrate, with snow). I like seeing personal benchmarks though. Still happy with 2 old school GTS 640's.

Call of Juarez is an embarrassment to the gaming industry.

Well, its good to see nVidia is supporting their new card with some decent drivers. It would have been a shame if they hadn't. Those are impressive increases over such a short period of time. And I also second more of these driver tests. They are the other 50% of the equation.

Well thats what I'm doing with a bunch of people for my site:) I think most people don't do it because its just too time consuming.

I'll keep you guys updated with the final Drivers.

P.S

yes Call of Juarez is embarrasing. I did remember playing it fine with my 9600 GTs

but that was ingame. This is just a time demo, and I heard they just beefed it up.

I'll get and ingame idea and post it.

Also for some reason i'm having Half life 2: ep 2 problems still. So i'm still not that happy with the drivers. I had the Exact same problems with the 9600 GT's when they came out
:)

Yep, that's the good old nVidia drivers :lol:

Though, despite that I do miss them some. I was really proud of the Memory usage on my gaming rig back when I had 2x6800GTs. It was around 100-150MB (in task manager). The ATI drivers for my 2900XT push that up well over 200MB :cry:

I'm thinking of going omega drivers LOL!

but I doubt theres a point. :)

I don't know if this is weird but I like the 2900 XT's name lol reminds me of when ATI owned with the 1900 XTs and 1800 XTs and 9800 XT and X800 XT lol

Yeah, most of my stuff is only cool in name :lol:

I always thought that FX-60 was a really cool name for a processor, so even though its obsolete I don't want to get rid of it. As for the 2900XT I like its name because it is simple (doesn't have all those 50's or 70's on the end :lol: ).
