G92 scores outed
A little higher than last time
YOU MAY HAVE heard that the upcoming G92 has some pretty interesting performance numbers. All we can say is life sucks if you recently bought a GTX.
The 8800GT with MeII-32, a QX6800 and 2G of DDR2-1000 ram all on a 780i board scores 14200 on 3DMark 05.
This is a little higher than the scores Theo saw, and just about even with the 8800Ultra scores at this rez.
That could be down to a lot of different things, most probably drivers, followed by CPU subtests skewing the scores. In any case, things are looking up for the green-tinged ones. µ

Confused?
I know Theo has no ability to write up an article without at least one glaring error, but come on Charlie! Only a couple of seconds of double-checking and you would have known that 14000 in 3DMark05 means not much. The GF8800Ultra gets about 12000 and the GF8800GTX about 11000 in 3DMark06 which is quiet a bit more demanding. So why should the the GTX owners feel sorry? How about clearing up first which 3DMark we are actually talking about and then update the article? Would be great if you don`t make the same mistake Theo did not so long ago with the 30000 3DMark06 score for Barcelona ;-)05?
Looks like a typo there, should be 3dmark06 according to healthy human logic.Mainstream is back
I find it interesting enough that you actually said something positive about Nvidia! But anyway, the most imporant thing is that we finally have decent DX10 mainstream cards.more interesting benchmarks
some interesting fps benchies here if you scroll down a bit: http://myevilprocessor.blogspot.com/2007/10/geforce-8800-gt-512mb.htmlI'm glad I didn't rush out & buy a GTS, I think it's worth waiting for this one.
Lets Hope..
the price stays at $250, i find it hard to understand why nvidia would charge so little if this card is really as good as it seems.So what?! I want one!
Who cares if they are only 250usd and the performance is far better than an HD 2900XT!!This is what consumer market is all about!
Little difficult to believe this
It is a little difficult to me to believe that a GT model is faster from a GTX modelIf it is faster from GTX why did they call it GT ??
I think the GTX will still be faster in most games
Not so unsual...
If memory serves me, a 7900GT ($300) was on par with the flagship 7800GTX ($600) when it was released a year later.How does this make sense?
Firstly, you're compaing 3dmark05, and 3dmark06 benchmarks which is both confusing and inaccurate. Secondly, how (or why) in the world would a GT part outperform a GTS or GTX? It just seems plain odd. The GT has historically been the lower end part. However, it is also important to be aware that Nvidia is changing their GTS series due Oct. 29 to match very closely the GT (65nm, 112 stream processors, etc.) So, for now I can understand the GT beating the GTS, but I doubt that it will come the release of the refreshed 8800GTS.Thanks for the article
Thanks for writing this article... Even if it turns out to be not so accurate, I'll be refusing delivery of the 8800GTX I just ordered. If the benchmarks show the same data, I will be getting 2 of these for the price of the 8800GTX.Makes you wonder...
It seems to me that the only reason you'd price it higher was if you had something else to take the top spot. You would never simply let the holiday season go by with your top card at $250.Two Faced Chuckie
Yet another meaningless article by Chuckie.Months ago he declared that he is through with Vista in everyway, yet he has posted dozens of articles exposing that he still uses it at home and work.
He can't keep his word, even after a loud public declaration right here in the Inq.
Why would you believe any of his articles?
The GTX beat the Ultra?
That bench looks iffy, I also somewhat doubt such a cheap part would be giving the Ultra a run for its money.I'm not holding my breath on this one.
Low price
I think nvidia keeps the price of the 8800 low because they will launch a performance card when crysis comes out.3DMark 2005?
My 8800GTS 640 scores that much!! if 8800GT is like that, it doesn't worth the money. Better wait for 8900 series.Deio
it must be 06
Okey i'v got Q6600,4gb ddr2-800,8800GTX and ran wid 3dmark06 and got 12639.so which one is good card.look at that new 8800gt ran wid QX6800 cpu and ddr2-1000.and also you said 3dmark05.i think my gtx will kill new card...Which Version?
I agree with the post by "Some guy". Most the benchmarks we see pertain to 3DMark 06. This article is mentioning scores knocked out by the 05 version. My 8800 Ultra when overclocked gets 14,000 on 3DMark 06, and over 20,000 with 3DMark 05, which falsifies the claim that the G92 score in 3DMark 05 of 14,200 is "just about even with the 8800Ultra scores at this rez". It sounds like they compared the G92 scores from 3DMark05 to the 8800Ultra scores in 3DMark06 to get to that conclusion. A simple mistake that can lead to a lot of reader confusion.ATI comming back up
Sorry to say this, but it looks like the new HD 3XXX series GPU's from ATi are going to kick some ass. Yes, thats right, HD 3xxxx series comming in 3 weeks.Reading Comprehension
Lets abandon the formalities.19,000 in 3DMark05 IS ABOUT 12,000 3DMark06
Hmm... 15,000 3DMark05... My 8800GTS does 19,000
GTX killer my ass. The GTX is going to stay king for a long time. (6 more months)
Refusing delivery?
Wow... what an immature and wrong thing to do. You can't just order something and then refuse delivery. That's just dishonest. Shame on you.
