yes, the results are amazingly good! just look at the 6000+ 3dmark06 difference between this card and the 7800gtx... also, in FEAR I made antialiasing at 4x and Anisotropic at 8x and it got 100% of frames above 40fps.... the previous test mentioned in the post was with AA 4x and AF 16x..., and you can't really tell the difference cos AF is good for far away horizons, which fear doesn't really have.
so I am very happy i got this :)
where are you now? jordan? and are you still a PC gamer or you quit like everyone else?

[Image]Hello people. I got the XFX today, installed it, then ran a few tests. This is a copy of my post in the DW forums, copy-pasted for your viewing pleasure :)
hi all, received the XFX g8800 gtx today. Installation was smooth, had to get a longer IDE cable though (stupid abit mobo has the worst ide placement in the world!)
forceware drivers are 97.02 (latest)
did a few quick tests on my system - specs are
Intel Core 2 Duo e6700 XFX GeForce 8800GTX 4gig (4x1gig) Corsair DDR800 Dual Channel RAM Creative X-FI Fatal1ty SoundBlaster Abit AB9PRO mobo WD Raptor 36 gig for windows, 2x76 gig in RAID-0 for games ViewSonic VP201s LCD, native 1600x1200x60hz
Everything is at stock speeds, I don't over clock
3DMark Score 10340 3DMarks SM 2.0 Score 4704 Marks SM 3.0 Score 4844 Marks CPU Score 2354 Marks
This is using the free version, so res is 1280x1024.
I tried the same test before uninstalling my old card (XFX 7800GTX), scored 4205 3D Marks
Unfortunately, 3D Mark won't let me publish the results, as they have yet to certify the forceware drivers
I then tested FEAR, I set everything to maximum, including Computer and Graphics. I then set the res to 1600x1200
Results 0% under 25 FPS 21% between 25 and 40 FPS 79% above 40 FPS
again, I tested this on 7800gtx, and it showed that 51% were under 25, and 49% between 25 and 40. A massive improvement.
Finally, I tried the Hardware OC Prey benchmark, with the following settings and results:
With graphics boost disabled (I think this is like ULTRA mode for the doom3 engine), the score was 102.3 FPS
Please note that will all the above tests, VSYNC and Tripple Buffer were forced on via the nvidia control panel. I have a reason for that, as I can't stand tearing... and even if it lowers the FPS for the game I'm playing, as long as it's not teared I'm happy.
Thanks for reading this boring post
If anyone wants me to test something else, please let me know.
