***Official*** NV40 Benches (Updated as they go live) ANANDTECH Review Added

[AIWGuru]

Someone said it's best to omit the highest AND lowest. If we do that, we get 46%.
Of course, that's NOT what we would do. That is what you would do if you were benching the same game over and over to remove extreme variance.
In this case, it's a series of games chosen to reflect the different engines out there.
So...50% with stunted settings.

OMGIGOD hi Margret!

That benchmark is with the 6800 non-ultra. It rapes especially at higher resolutions.

There, those are the kind of bench's I think everyone needs to be looking for.

It seems uping the Resolution barely does anything to the cards performance at all and AA doesn't seem to slow it down much either but with both AA and AF it drops a bit. Looks like a pretty strong card to me.

Fake from few weeks ago.

You read a 50% jump in perfomance (average) over the next highest competitior with skewed settings in favor of the competitor AND offering DX9.0c support a mess up?
Jesus, what were you expecting?
eleventy-billion percent at twice the resolution?
I have a feeling that some people are going to call it a mess-up no matter how well it does.

 

[NOX]

Wonder if I should start doing some benchmarks too? LOL!

 

[vshah]

to me it seems most people aren't noticing the skewed settings.

Looks good to me. and if those turn out to be non-ultra specs, for 299, i'm on that like Dawn on the ATI chimp

I have a feeling the shader performance is through the ROOF.

Hardocp is benching the non-ultra with only 12 pipes and 128MB DDR at 1.1ghz. Non-ultra is the 400mhz one. It doesn't specify Ultra in the card CP and Nvidia always does, this these benchs are only of the 12pipe non-ultra.
NVIDIA_NV40.DEV_0040.1 = "NVIDIA GeForce 6800 Ultra"
NVIDIA_NV40.DEV_0041.1 = "NVIDIA GeForce 6800"

"this will be short, sending from phone

14000+ 3dmark2003
6800 nonultra has 12pipes, ddr1 mem, 128bit
video encoder is programmable
geometry instancing rocks


pics & video in an hour or so
unreal3 video
eq2 video
lord of the rings

nalu rocks "

GASP !!!!!!!

OHHHHHHHHH.....i forgot....didnt Nvidia ditch 3dmark as a valid benchmarking tool ?! Their own freaking words were it's worthless to measure performance of gfx cards...what a joke !!!

Besides the fact they're known for cheating and optimizing their drivers wherever they can !

 

[flexy]

edit the 3dmark link is down, but looked genuine !! someone took a shot at the party where they showed the 3dmark03 result screen with 14860 score...file is down now. MAN, already lift the NDA...its pointless

The file is still up, guy.

i think firefox must be crazy then...you're right..i still get the pic with IE.....

 

[vshah]

just as i was about to go to bed...that 14k pops up

gfx cards are my caffeine.

[flexy]

hey...dont you think its planned by NV to have some party going on 'til MIDNIGHT....and then all the geeks going home...on the INTERNET...lol...and guess what they're doing ????

I bet they plan on that many people will leak stuff and get the rumors going in the few hours after the show...thats why they have this "NDA" only lifting some hours *after* the event

Again: A genius PR move by NV.....whow.....these guys are good

Edit: As a comparison: How about Britney Spears walking along Broadway, naked, and then assuming that noone will notice, and the ones who notice for sure wont tell

Well excuse me for not being a 'proper' geek, but given a choice between a naked britney and a 6800, I'll take britney any day
