What does a GT use power wise?
If all these specs are correct then i think this:
Low Range = Old GTS
Low-Mid Range = GT
Mid-High = New GTS
GTX/Ultra Phased out in favour of the new high range 9800's
Thats the way they seem to be playing it.
Clever really as they are flooding the market with the mid & mid-high range stuff effectively shutting out all ATI offerings as the 2900XT is efffectively only a mid range card aswell.
When ATI's card, which is supposed to be flagship, is being equalled or beaten by nVidias low-mid cards they havent a hope.
/keeping eyes peeled for the December 3rd
The 3870 is quite cheap and apparently runs crysis pretty well vs. the nvidia cards as ATI have released some nicer drivers (I.e. max settings). I mean, all the cards are good, it's all about price per performance since there aren't so many games that will use every last inch. The 8800gts is the last time I spend £200 on a card. It was a bit of a desperate situation which is why I did.
I am able to run Crysis on 1680x1050 with everything except shadows on high (DX9 only) at very acceptable frame rates on my E6550/2GB/8800GT rig. But the moment I turn on AA, the fps takes a hit, so if the 'new' GTS can up performance significantly, I may upgrade. Otherwise, the GT does everything just fine :)
at that specs its not gonna compare to an ultra
Nope...but not far off.
It will certainly out-pace the GTX nearly all the time though if those figures are correct and if its at the £200-220 mark (which seems like it will be) then its the card to have at price v power......well.......for about 2 weeks until the next one comes along anyway :(
The question is will there be more than 50k available on 3rd Dec? I suspect another round of etailer price gouging :(
soz didnt look at the bandwith but it will give it a run for its money if you Oc the gts
