GeForce 8800 line to hit 12K in 3DMark06

jmke · 20th October 2006, 07:59

The upcoming GF8800 line will hit just under 12,000 in 3DMark06, with a new set of drivers due before the non-denominational year-end festive season, pushing it to just over 12K.

topscore with "single" overclocked system is 12xxx (7950GX2)

topscore with SLI cards in OC is 16xxx (7900GTX SLI)
http://hwbot.org/result.do?resultId=552949

how is this puppy going to compete?

single next gen should have same performance as sli current high end gen in my humble opinion

performance is indeed (far) worse than expected. Certainly not worth $650 imo.

that's $650 without the PSU upgrade or higher power bill
