8800 GT vs 7950 GX2

[Fltlt_HardBall]

Gozr, I have a 7950GX2 and I'd be interested in finding out how to get the best performance out of it. Could you post your conf.ini settings and tell me what your video card settings are? I'm running 93.71 drivers. Thanks

Too bad our neighbors at XBIT stopped including LOCKON and IL-2 in their card reviews. The synthetic benchies are useless, unless you like to sit around and play them all day, and they never seem to mirror any real game programs.

XBIT, brothers ...how baout bringing back IL-2 Black Death track and others in your videocard and CPU benchmarks? THanks for all the good work in the past...very good stuff and diligent hard work.

See you in the skies...if you don't see me first.

WOW! That's pretty neat. Quad SLI for these babies. Man, I can only imagine what be available a year from now.

Chivas, thanks for the link.

I'm currently in a position to update my system and I'm waiting for the 45nm Penryn chip to come out with Quad core, but not the extreme version.

I was considering 2x8800GT (G92) in SLI on my P5N32E-SLI mobo, but was waiting to see what the 8800GTX (G92) would be like.

This however looks like it will be the one that I get, as it should keep me going for an absolute age with that amount of power (fortunately I have a 1000W Thermaltake Toughpower CPU )

Hopefully this thread will get updated nearer release when benchmarks have been posted (maybe against SLI 8800GT's?)

Cheers, MP.

AMD/ATI 3850 x2 is also coming out soon. I know the 3850 is slower than the 8800 but apparently ati's design may be better for integrating two gpus on one board. The benchmarks should be interesting and may provide another viable option.

What you want is the double size memory..
