7800GTX at THG

It's not a new chart, but it's the only ""mini-chart"" that has the 7800GTX compared with other cards, most importantly the highest end graphics cards from Nvidia and ATI.

Nice find nwo. I'm still kinda dissapointed with the 7800GTX. It's not nearly as ground breaking as the 6800 series. Hopefully software will start to take advantage of it in the future.

[nwo75200]

That's exactly what I'm hoping for...

It's not only software, but it's also the rest of the system that's bottlenecking it, especially the CPU Which leads me to think that the reason why the difference at small resolutions (between 7800GTX and x850XT PE) is so small is because of CPU bottleneck, but once the resolution is turned up, there's always a minimum of a 30% fps increase, usually around 15-30 and more fps difference between the 2 cards.

It still smokes the other cards.

Daaaaaaamn

actually, nvidia did more between the 6XXX series and the 7XXX series than ati did between the 9XXX series and the x800/x600/x700 series\

both were essentialyl core optimizations and tweaks, but nvidia did quite a bit more

but i would still take any one of those cards

Hey but wait, why are the cards running in SLI performing nearly double the single cards and the last gen SLI beating the next Gen singles in Halo, Unreal, FarCry and Doom 3. I though SLI was a bunch of hooey. [insert sarcastic confused face]

[nwo75200]

SLI is great, if the drivers are optimized for it to be used in a game that is

That just proves that there isn't a 50% performance difference between a 7800GTX and a 6800U, since SLI gives you about 50% more juice.

[rabidaardvark]

Well, I understand what you mean but the actual numbers for Doom 3 for instance is the 7800 is 25% faster than a single 6800 at high res. The SLI 6800 is just over 100% faster than a single 7800.

in doom3

I don't see the SLI 6800 being anywhere near 100% faster than a single 7800GTX in any benchie
