8800 GTS 320MB beats HD 2900 XT in UT3 demo.

I keep hearing that the HD 2900 series of cards are better than the 8800 GTS cards.But in gamespot benchmarks i just dont see this.I mean 320 MB GTS beating the XT???

And yes gamespot is using the 7.10 drivers for the hd 2900 so no excuses over there either.

Andisee the GTS is overclocked version but it is still quite a bit more cheaper than the 2900 XT.

That's just sad but my rig maxed stays at 99fps unless they edited the ini file how did they get 100fps ??

The demo may not utlise the extra RAM of the GTS 640MB/2900 XT, but it still benefits from a faster core/G80 architecture.

Stop trying to flame bait or troll.

I'd be more than happy running such a stunning game maxed out at 1600x1200 with an average framerate of 84.

I was really happy yo see that the 2600XT is able to run the game maxed out at what I consider a playable framerate, because that's the (probably temporary) card I'll be getting with my new PC.

i'm getting pretty poor framerates (20-25 ish) with my 8800GTS 640 MB with all settings maxed at 1680x1050, whereas in Call of Duty 4 and Timeshift (demos) I consistently got 40+ fps :( Guess I'll have to turn a few settings down... boo.Staryoshi87

E6600@3.0Ghz, 3GB DDR2 @1000mhz, and Vista HP 32bit. I turned downa few settings (not noticible to the naked eye from what I can tell) and I get a solid 60fps ;) That's the requisite speed for a game like Unreal Gears 3. Err.... I mean UT3. (The influences are very evident....)

With catalyst 7.10 all previous DX 10 games perform better on 2900 compared to 8800 gts . Ut3 is not yet properly optimized for 2900 . we will probably see a hotfix for 7.10 for 2900 cards .harooon

agree with you.

the 7.10 doesnt increase performance for single cards.. only for Crossfire. Google PCPER, and there should be an article on that site.
