AMD Internal Benchmarks Show HD 3850 Supremacy
Well, the charts speak for themselves really. The 3850, which should be less than $200USD when it is released later this month, completely slaughters the intended competition, which includes the HD 2600XT, and the NVIDIA GeForce 8600GTS. The 3850 also holds it's own against the HD 2900XT.The last images show RV670 supremacy in DirectX10 rendering.

Firstly the 8800GTS beats it in high resolutions, the 8800GTX beats it across the boards, and in some applications and games the 2900XT whoops down on the 8800GTX.
Want to know real performance.... Tell your game developers to start devolving for more than nvidia.
As for these results... I will be waiting for these cards to come out, probably end up with a 3870.
Maybe you should look into the performance people are getting in design applications with a FireGL flashed 2600xt, give you a hint they are EATING up 8800GTS...
Want a piece of reality?
Ohh forget...
My 2600xt gddr4 is faster than my friends 8600GTS in dx10 games... :p
He is kinda pissed about that especially being my 2600xt was about $75 cheaper.
Or how about the fact of a few Nvidia sided games the 2900XT is FASTER than the 8800GTX...
If you want to go further...
ATI 2900XT holds the top 5 world records for 3dmark06.
I am STILL willing to buy nvidia after all these FACTS.
:toast: :toast: :toast:
You really overdid yourself there... Let the truth be known...
Oh look the 2900 holds a record for 3DM06, well screw games performance then, ill get it for. 06.:roll:
PS- to those that don't know...
Programming specifically for a video card can lead to over 300% performance increase, has been known, has been proven.
Not sure if the card coming out in dec/jan with the two GPUs on one card is supposed to be the 8800s competition.
Talk about my experiences...
In the past 3 months, I have built 9 systems with 8800's and 11 with 2900s.
I have not only read, I have personally seen and experienced.
Want to keep reading reviews, you know I actually came by one that said a 8600GTS is direct competition for a 2900XT?!?!?! Lol funny the nvidia boys there said nah the 8600gts whoops it..
anyways the 3850 was designed to go against the 8600gt...and i believe the 3870 the gts's...nvidia got wind of the 3870s and its possible clock speeds and bumped up the release of the 8800gt's....second i believe that the 38xx will be better in power efficiency and will cost less.IMHO. i believe that DAAMIT's design are better off in the long run...
dual cooling on a cooler card = more OC headroom if all things remain equal ... goddamm
The thing that annoys me is that the 3850 probably won't cost as much as my 2900XT did and it looks like it will perform better in a few things. :banghead:
anyways my ps3 360 comparison was for the fanbois of both camp...
and personally i hope the 3870s do extremely well because then that will lower the gt's prices by far...im sick of this gouging affair by many etailers...especially newegg.
LMAO, dual slot cooling on a card that cant even beat the previous tech and is on a smaller process than the GT, dream on if you think the overclocks on this thing is going to get you substantial increase in fps, because it sure as hell didnt on the 2900. I can see potential 3870 buyers now, " it has a dual slot cooler, hey it may suck at stock speeds but we can overclock it and gain 9fps " GT is single slot cooling, more space in the case and great performance to boot, mmm whats the better design.
The 3870 might be an alright card, if it's priced reasonably. But isn't it a dual-gpu card? The power draw will be insane.
Also when you're going on about links this and links that. Well why don't you get some links to some benchmarks. You'll be hard pressed to find reliable ones where the 2900XT doesn't beat the 8800GTS 640mb in the majority of tests and the 8800GTX in a few (At least a recent one, not a year old one.) If the 8800GT is so great why doesn't it beat the GTX?
