Oops, I got this post mixed up with the last NV bashing post. My mistake. Hard to keep the NV bashing straight on this site sometimes.

We all now you're biased Inq, but come on. You get a bunch of negative comments for the article above so your response is just deleting the inappropriate ones? Nice. Why bother opening the post to comments at all? Sorry, guess everyone else isn't as big an ATI fanboi as you.

"The results speak for themselves, out of the 6 titles that we have shown you today, NVIDIA was able to pull ahead on the vast majority with it's GTX 260 core 216 (with regular clock frequencies). It's very typical for NVIDIA as usually, after half a year when you compare the numbers among driver releases, they roughly tweak out another 10% maybe 15% performance.

If you will allow me to be blunt for a second here: when we tally it up, that's 4 out of 6 wins for NVIDIA with the GeForce GTX 260 core 216. So this round the win goes to team green."

From page 9. One of those 4 was a complete BLOWOUT! 35% faster for NV or so...LOL. One of the two for ATI was 10%, the other though margin of error almost. So I'd say he's right. Go home with NV in this contest. Face it, ATI wasn't going to win forever...Get over it.

New Supercomputer Rampart is aided by both tesla & quadro cards, each with 240 cores. in fact some older supercomputers got quite lift back into top 500 circle with those cards.

Yet this core thing is very new to public. Larrabee, that now awaited cake of discrete gpu, has one huge problem, it has two way cache crossbar, similar to barcelona, so go figure. Hype of continuing advancement, Not all oranges are equal.
