More Radeon HD2900XT benchmarks - Crysis demo and 3DMark06 again
More Radeon HD2900XT benchmarks - Crysis demo and 3DMark06 again - Update
Another day another benchmark score and this time again from a Turkish website. BilgiUstam got some results for 3DMark06 and for the first time from another application: a Crysis demo. They compared the Radeon HD2900XT to a GeForce 8800GTX on the same test platform.
Intel Core 2 Extreme QX6800
Asus P5W DH
2×1GB PC2-6400 (5-5-5-12)
Western Digital Raptor 150
To sum it up: While the G80 card was faster in the theoretical benchmark 3DMark06, the R600XT outperformed the G80 card everytime by a slight margin in the Crysis tests.
Update: Here we have some more screenshots from PCINLIFE showing how the R600 card performs in 3DMark06 using 1280x1024 and 1600x1200 as resolution. This time the test platform was powered using an Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 (2x 2.40GHz) and 2GB of RAM. OS was Vista Ultimate together with the ATI Driver 8.351. The whole system managed to get 9685 3DMarks at the 1280x1024 res and 8756 3DMarks at 1600x1200. Not that bad considering the rather slow CPU.
The last shot is from the same setup now with 8x Antialiasing and 16x Anisotropic Filtering enabled. Sadly you can only guess the whole score because the first digit was painted over.
I hope that everyone who is reading this and the other news posts regarding the R600 performance numbers is judging on it with a good portion of common sense. The final cards aren't on the market and the Non Disclosure Agreement wasn't lifted yet.

So do some people actually own this card? besides ati... I dont think so.
Firstly we need to wait and see.
Also this only for highend stuff ati may win hands down in the mid range market ie 8600 v 2600 etc. The 8600 looks quite weak if you ask me think its 128bit but who knows until they are released.
Anyone know when they are available in the Uk?
Frankly, the fact that a 768MB GTX model is only marginally faster (what like 1-3%) than a card running 512MB of GDDR3 memory isnt to impressive. As you yourself stated, Nvidia has been out for at least 6 months with buggy hardware support (driver support) What really is astounding is how well it handles Crysis, again supposedly. Bash all ya want, but I see ATI taking its stake as a leading card for a good while. Delays or not, its bound to happen.
Same goes for the Crysis Demo benchmark
Why can't we post news? I don't like how all these benchmarks from seemingly unreliable sources (every benchmark has conflicting data) keep appearing. If that was true, I would point it at driver issues but, AIB partners by no means are allowed to display their benchmarks.
The people who post these results just want views (might I say "Double Click?"), if they have an advertising plan, they might get more cash with more views.
EDIT: People who have the cards aren't by any means allowed to display benchmarks to the public... its the criteria that ATI/AMD stated. The benchmarks aren't even out yet, heck, I could make up the numbers.
What are you talking about??
Where is the proof these are made up?
The 8900 is around the corner.
who said the 8900 is better???
I dont have any proof.... you're right. the numbers must be real.
Imagine you had the card. You chose to break the NDA by posting benchmark. Why on earth wouldnt you post a ss of the driver, stating it's running a HD2900XT? Or a ss of the Crysis benchmark result.. If you didnt have the card and just wanted hits.. wouldnt it be easy to start up Excel and type some stuff?
