GeForce GTX 480 SLI - Game + Vantage quick test

[OBR]

Not even High-End setup, only Core i7@ 4,06GHz + 6GB RAM, results with high clocked Gulftown later ...



Little AIR Ocing 770 MHz on GPU ...



Game tests, percents number are: 56% are for perf bump of SLI against single GTX 480, -15% is performance of CF HD 5870 relative to GTX 480 SLI



SLI scaling in new games and tests ...

[MythSquare]

I don't get it, Fallout 3 91/81 = 112,3456, but 87/81=95,604?
I messed up?

[herderien]

sorry maybe i'm dumb or not awake enough but i don't get the crossfire numbers, if GTX 480 is 100, how 5870 cf can have a lower rating ? or is that compared to 480 sli as 100% ?
it's not very clear

if it is compared to 480 sli than it doesn't have sence

ohhh sry I didn't notice this one
"Game tests, percents number are: 56% are for perf bump of SLI against single GTX 480, -15% is performance of CF HD 5870 relative to GTX 480 SLI"
and this is quite right but a table a bit strange anyway

thx for benching. bring up some more!

[ovan febriawan]

OMG,,, when do I have a rig like that ...
I envy you

[facepunch]

nice review how big of a power supply did you use and what was the temps in sli

[dertimaushh]

Nice setup.

Power consumption during OC would be interesting.

Temps and noiselevel aswell

[xman01]

which drivers were used for ati and nvidia?

some results seem peculiar

[TJ TRICHEESE]

the score seems a bit low, my system gets about p34000 and that system has 240 more graphics cores?

[illidan]

what psu did you use?

[The Duke]

very nice ... cant wait for some answers from the questions posed above

Vantage absolutely hates Fermi. Don't plan on it for any new world records... driver update maybe?

[ban916]

Thats not a bad score for no phyx enabled and 2 cards. Also the cpu could be clocked higher.

[gurusan]

Your table makes no sense tbh.

Clearly the maker of the table has failed basic maths at school

[kevikev]

Is the 3rd GPU at the bottom for PhysX?

95,604 (95.604 for us Yanks) is referring to the relative performance between the 5870 CFX vs GTX 480 SLI.

Dunno what the 2nd column where the non-SLI GTX 480 is a constant 100 is supposed to represent other than to show you how performance increase you have from a single GTX to SLI GTX because we already have the > 100,00 (100.00) numbers represented so no need to devote an entire column of 100s.

That is not what the table implies though.
By saying that Single 480 is 100 it implies that the comparisons are made against this as a percentage.

I'm only clarifying the mathematical calculation, nothing more, nothing less.

[pcaddict]

Now I wanna see 4-way sli =)

Calculations are right...the problem is that the 5870CF is being compared to GTX480 SLI, not against GTX480...

[lkiller123]

I like how the cards actually could last through the test.

Temps, power consumption?

[jaredpace]

Thx Obermaier. Nice bench. @GURU - table reads like this:

game - 5870CF - gtx480 - 480sli - game - 5870cf relative to 480sli - 480 - % increase from 2nd 480

... kinda confusing but discernible

[Nintendork]

In the % chart you need to reorder the numbers, it's pretty confusing.

Something like:

CF vs SLI relative performance in %
game *** | **% - 100%

That should be more clarifying.

[Kimofil]

What about tri-sli and Gulftown bench?
