Before launch


By Fuad Abazovic in Wien: Tuesday 28 September 2004, 19:22

WE HAVE SOME numbers that we would like to share with you before Futuremark finally introduces this long awaited test.
With current drivers, Nvidia will score 5000 points with the 6800 Ultra while the X800XT PR will score only 4500 with 4.9 drivers. With the new ATI driver codenamed 8.07, ATI score will jump to an incredible 5800. All these scores are on a 3.4GHz Pentium 4 machine. The ATI driver will be introduced as the Catalyst 4.10 and we learned it should get its WHQL very soon.

The Geforce FX 5950 Ultra will score a modest 1270 while the Radeon 9600XT will provide 1570 marks. The mainstream card kicks the former high end in its performance nuts.

The Geforce 6800 GT will score 4500.

You will be able to see many more scores on the 29th of this month at 3PM CET when Futuremark lifts the non disclosure agreement (NDA) veil. µ

tomorrow is the day!

Coolness only a few hours to go now if they're counter is to be believed, I wonder if the 9800xt will get such a performance boost. Hopefully it will, I aim to score 3k points Hopefully I can manage that

[keithwalton]

[keithwalton]

So close yet so far,
When I started the benchmark on my system pushed hard, the top 9800xt score was 3071marks, end of testing I score 3110, I thought i'd done it and would briefly be #1. sadly not 3rd though.
