![]() | ![]() My preliminary conclusion: * not (much) faster on 'normal' resolutions (<= 1024*1280) than the 9800XT or if it is faster, the 9800 is still fast enough * consumes 50% more power than current high end cards (75W vs. ~110W) * image quality is better than GF FX series, but equal or worse (FarCry pretty much sucks) than the ATI 9800 series. in my humble opinion only a good buy for someone who doesn't mind noise, has plenty of money and likes to play everything on 1600*1200.

![]() | ![]() you are semi correct. if you don't enable any goodies (FSAA / AF) then sure, the 9800XT still kicks *** in 1024x768x32bit. but then let's up the anty, enable those IQ settings with recent games (Halo/FarCry) and you'll see a nice rift starting to appear and the NV40 pulling away.

the PSU demands are crazy. just plain crazy. OCZ's 600Watt PSU doesn't look that over-the-top now does it? ![]() Overclocking? sure Quote:
I'd like to see a website try to run the NV40 on a 300Watt powered system and see what happens.

![]() | ![]() Nice performance but it sucks that i need to buy a new power supply ![]() I just gonna wait till the reviews of the r420 (and power consumption) and wait a while till the prices drop a bit. I can play every game with my GF4ti4200 , maybe some games on low but hey you don't see me care ![]()

| ![]() I sure hope the 2003 score is a true score and not the lovechild nv40 & a driver "optimalization". |

![]() | ![]() 3DM03 score effect can also be seen in Halo and Farcry, or any other bench/game which uses shaders and DX9 "stuff" ![]()
