ATI X800XT PE catches up with Nvidia SLI score

Posted by: Newsfactory on: 10/01/2004 02:30 PM [ Print | 15 comment(s) ] · 2167 views

According to The Inquirer: ATI Made a wonder driver that we reported about here and this is how the fight for the 3Dmark05 crown started.

When Nvidia saw that it would lose to the X800XT PE, it had to react fast and it introduced an SLI score based on two Geforce 6800 Ultra and managed to score approximately 7200 points.

ok so let'e see, you can actually get an NVidia SLI system, or run your ATI card on dry ice ...
Yes that really makes for a real comparison between card's real world abilty!!
I have an ATI right now just in case wonders, but I think in fairness, that score is ridiculously unimportant just for the fact that no one could run the card under dry ice as an every day use situation, but, using SLI you can.

You must have read the article before the Inquirerererer crew decided to do a bit of fact checking and added the following to their story:

"* WE ARE informed that Sami used a Cascade Compressor system to cool the graphics card and this setup can actually run twenty four hours a day."


BTW-At lease you COULD overclock your own X800, where can I get an SLI rig to try?  ;)

So what do you think will be the cheapest solution?
An ATI card with a cooling system wich you can run at those speeds 24/7 or 2 Geforces in SLI...

I'll pick the 2 Geforces...

Well, and what about Alienware's SLI system? Isn't it supposed to run any (PCI-E) graphics cards in SLI? It'd be interesting to see how two x800's fare.

You will also need a new motherboard (that isn't out yet) and probably a new PSU too, because those cards consume like 100watts each.

So:
2 cards
1 motherboard
1 new psu

An ATI card + a cooling system that costs MORE than an entire PC.
You'd be a complete fool if you think it's better than an SLI NVidia solution.
Or, unless your name's Digital Blunderer, and you have a signed nude poster of Terry MakeDumb on your wall.
