3DMark05...

Are there any tests on it that don't need PS2?

It requires a graphics card with at least PS2.0 for all tests.

Anyway...It's out now, so grab it here

9800xt does support all the features required to bench, interestingly the nvidia 6*** line uses ps 3.0, the only advantage of 3.0 over 2.0 is that it can do the same thing in fewer passes. Strange then that currently the highest placed nvidia card was 16th the last time i looked, with an ati whitewash especially with amd 64 power as well.
New score for me btw, http://service.futuremark.com/compare?dm05=2468
was oh so nearly #1 9800xt for a brief period, in the time it took to run the bench i was surpassed

Oh i got mine from aoaforums, no wait, full 1mbit was down in 40mins

Yeah they got slightly ahead with that, although the only game that I know of which supports this feature is Everquest2.

3d mark 05 supports it, and considering the two cards are usually neck and neck benchmarks wise, i'd of expected the nvidia's to pull away. It would appear not though with ati's new beta driver giving a 20% boost on my 9800xt

So I had to start again.....

I've got it running via bit torrent now

[downquark1]

I don't like this benchmark - I only scored 989

[jamesclarke555]

5483 - Not bad

Tried it out, my 9800 pro ran around that result on the graph above i.e. **** poor

I doubt we will be seeing gfx like that in-game until years from now..so i couldn't care less how my card on these benchmarks, because ill just upgrade when we get that sort of stuff in-game.

Im not being bitter, just realistic

5073 for me, that's with the X800 back at stock (pro) speeds, horrible memory and a nasty processor (half of my bits are in a new case) http://service.futuremark.com/compare?dm05=7999

[dilli-theclaw]

I got 2232...

I like the sea monster by the way
