Anandtech says the 8800GTS ties with the single X1950XTX in Battlefield 2 at 2560x1600 4xAA. The 8800GTS does win at lower resolutions though.

and the X1950Crossfire >> 8800GTX SLI




Turn off the AA ,

8800GTX SLI >> X1950CF



Anandtech has the X1950XTX beating the 8800GTS in FEAR by quite a large margin at 2560x1600 4xAA: 24 vs 17fps




The X1950XTX seems to be very competitive in FEAR, even at lower resolutions.

Anandtech also has the X1950XTX beating the 8800GTS in B&W.

NVIDIA reveals the card not to be able in The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion opens HDR+AA, thus we use HDR+Normal the detail analysis.

8800GTX can't open HDR + AA in oblivion


the X1950XTX beats the 8800GTS @ 2048x1536 4aa 16af with HDR

both the X1950XTX and the 8800GTS has a memory bandwith of 64GB/s
(256bit 1GHz GDDR4 = 320bit 800MHz GDDR3)

this gen beats next gen

maybe some driver updates? haha..

[J-Mag]

and the XTX takes the GTS in Q4 across the board when AA is enabled.

[nn_step]

ok, it beats the GTS in uber high settings. It still gets beat down by the GTX

[prosk8]

wow the 8800gtx is good card i whant to see th 8800gx2
hahahahaha

[perkam]

How come every year EVERY year every time a new card comes out you guys become Review junkies...the reviews are good to get a jist of performance...but the GTS is VERY underclocked on both mem and core while the XTX is maxxed out especialy with driver limitations.

The XTX for $399 is a good card for ATi fans...but it can't touch a well oced GTS.

wow, the gap between the gts and gtx is HUGE!!

[Omarko]

we'll have to wait and see some OCied results on the GTS and then compare

[JoeBar]

wow, the gap between the gts and gtx is HUGE!!

It should be. Not like the 7900GT/GTX fiasko. If u pay premium money for a vga u must get something more than just higher clocks...

[vowkilmer]

wow, the gap between the gts and gtx is HUGE!!

The gap definately concerns me.

amen.

[Starscream]

ofc the gap is huge, they diffrence between em is more then just clocks.

and about the FPS of the X1950XTX and 8800GTS il wait for more reviews to see if they show the same results.
Dito about dirvers, dunno what drivers they used could very wel be that next drivers show a considereble FPS gain.

The X1950XTX gets STOMPED by the GTS in oblivion...

[J-Mag]

Exactly, looks like the stream processor quantity difference is key, with modern titles

[nn_step]

wow, the gap between the gts and gtx is HUGE!!

I don't know, seems very familiar to the 7800GT and 7800GTX scores

the 8800GTX be SPANKIN'

Exactly. That's the way it was and should be...

[perkam]

It'll be more like 7900GT and 7900GTX but you can never be sure cos of arch diff.

Just wait for reviewers to start ocing the beasts...platforms will fall, WRs will break, and games will beg for mercy.

there are some weird resutls in that review, i'll wait for a couple more until i make my mind

I don't think that the gap will be as close, cause now (as with 7800 series, there are diff specs), but i may be wrong. Only time will tell though and the good thing for us, is that it won't be long...

[ahmad]

Actually I am not too worried at how the x1950xt keeps pace with the GTS. That was maybe what nvidia had in mind in the first place. But those people saying that the x1950xt is already at max clocks.. The memory on those cards has a lot of potential.

But the thing that really scares me here is how the 8800GTX runs Serious Sam 2 at 2048x1536 just fine at 127FPS. But you enable 4xAA and 16xAF and it goes down to 38.1FPS????????? A 70% performance penalty is way way too much for a card of this caliber. Even the 8800GTS itself looses almost that much performance as well. X1950XT manages to keep losses around 55%.

It could be Nvidia's new AA and new Angle Independent filtering at work. But I sure hope this can be fixed with better drivers.

[Kunaak]

wow, that was unexpected.

the GTS in its specs should be a far superior card to even the X1950 XTX... its abit surprising to see how small the gap in those two cards really is.

maybe ATI just has a really smart design focusing on shader power, and not just having the most pipelines.

[milkcafe]

I think the 2.93GHz X6800 dont have enough CPU power for the 8800GTS

run on a Core 2 Quad QX6700 @ 4.2G or Yorkfield 3.73G CPU

8800GTS maybe beat X1950XTX in any benchmark & games

[grimREEFER]

some IQ comparisons are in order i assume?
