GTX280 Benchmarked in Crysis
GTX280 Benchmarked in Crysis (page is Japanese, but screenshots are
universal). http://plusd.itmedia.co.jp/pcuser/ar...9/news034.html What does this mean? Not much, the Crysis benchmark itself is useless. :-) http://www.hardocp.com/article.html?...hlbnRodXNpYXN0 -- "War is the continuation of politics by other means. It can therefore be said that politics is war without bloodshed while war is politics with bloodshed." |

The GTX 280 shader clock is indeed 1296 MHz. It is no longer double the GPU clock. -- "War is the continuation of politics by other means.

Apparently not, maybe they will increase soon..I read the shaders are up to 50% faster even with the lower speed. Good news for the 1900x1200 and FSAA crowd. 240 stream processors and fast shaders is a sign of free 4xFSAA and 16xAniso at that high resolution. That card will tear through Oblivion no matter what settings you conceive. Maybe Crysis will be worth playing now...maybe even Supreme Commander, that always got pokey. |

Oh! Probably SpeedStep in action... |

I don't think Crysis was worth playing as a game to begin with. However, Far
Cry 2 looks interesting, with the ability to burn down entire villages thanks to flame propagation. :-) -- "War is the continuation of politics by other means.

FC1 came bundled with a 6800GT, which ran well enough with moderate settings, but after a few patches and driver revisions the 7-series encompassed 1600x1200 and everything below with full IQ, even on multi-play. Flame propagation seems interesting, perhaps those routines can be sent to the physics engine and unused stream processors can render flame tongues and sparks with duraflame-esque shaders. Hmm, fancy flames or super high FSAA, don't make me choose. |

From that point on it becomes a completely unimaginative and repetetive railshooter randomly blasting at the squiddies in the air in various ways with zero fun or play factor. I've replayed the game several times, trying different tactics and routes to get the objectives and always stop there. Looking forward to FC2 as well..... |

So what are you saying, that the GTX280 will lose its hardware AA resolver
and go to shader-based AA, like the Radeon 2900? ;-) -- "War is the continuation of politics by other means.
