That doesnt make sense... If they dont change their processor then the chip wont really be that much higher from a 9800Pro @ stock :)
But then it would overclock the same.. The only part of the 9800TX that has potential is the core.. Which is suppose to be the same core as the 9800Pro but clocked higher :)
Please re-read my post and reply coherently. :pQuote:

Well I'm gonna buy it no matter what. I don't want to spend money on another 9800Pro so the XT it is. Even if it is only marginally better.:)
yeah yeah, admit it!!
You just want it for HL2 :)
Well, yeah. Games nowadays are damn expensive. I'm talking $80CAD for UT2003... Bundling that with a card at the same price as the card alone would be a wicked deal for anyone wanting the game anyways. (everyone;) )
is the release date going to be the same for the vidcard bundle as the game itself? or is this coming out later? and when did all you guys found out about this!!!! :eek: i just found out from you guys right now. but that would be sweet!!!! :pQuote:

oh...and does anybody have an extra 5-10g harddrive i could borrow so i can be lazy and not have to reformat my comp but just switch out harddrives for benching purposes...it would only be for a few weeks...i promise!!! ;)
Edited: Hey, guys lets see some new 3D Mark scores, Colossus is benching his 4400, anyone else who has a 4400 want to give him some competition?
I realize everyone's all into 01 but I have a very old 03 score. Enough to give me the lead in my catergory of which I'll be the second entry
CPU: AMD Tbred
Stock Speed of CPU: 1.73Ghz
Overclocked speed of CPU: 2.46Ghz
MotherBoard: Epox 8K3A
Ram: 1GB Hyper-X pc3000
Video Card: GF4 Ti 4200
Stock Core of Video: 250
Actual Core of Video: 297
Stock Mem of Video: 444
Actual Mem of Video: 572
Cooling Used: CPU=SLK-800; VC=Stock
Your scores with links: 1863
I figure I might as well assume the class lead. Perhaps this post will generate some 4200 scores to come in for 03. Also given how much quicker I can run my cpu and particular FSB and VC nowadays I have to assume I can attempt 2K with this 4200
Very nice Saps!!!!
I got 1999 with my GF4 4400 :)
Now if I only pay FM the fee to be a Pro ORB to have more then 1 published 2003 score :)
Since I am benching my GF4 card :) I am testing about 10 different nvidia drivers from 30.82 - 45.23.. So I will give my results which is the best with DX 8.1 :)
Then maybe if I have time, I will do some 2003.. But I dont see that happening... right now...
I unintentionally did a similar thing with about seven or eight drivers using DX9.0b. Solely for 3DMark2K1 the order for me was :40.72, 42.01, 42.82, 42.86, 41.09, 43.45, 44.03, 45.23. Take from this what you will. In real games like Serious Sam or UT2K3 the order is different.Quote:

Regarding 3DMark03, 42.68 was my fastest with the 42.8x's right behind.
Well you inspired me to benchmark with my older card :) I still love my GF4 4400 card and it still does amazing well in games (since I really dont use AA/AF.. Well I started to play around with AF more now)...Quote:

But so far.. 40.71 is the fastest for me.. I will have to complete my runs... I didnt get any 42.x (I dont believe so)... I only downloaded official drivers from nvidia...
I didn't use 40.71 in my tests but I seem to recall it being right there with 40.72 in terms of 3DMark2001
So far the 40.71 are the fastest.. Beating the 40.72 by a whole 40 points! BTW: I run the test 3 times to see what kind of flux :)
Eeeh 41.09 is the best so far... ~50 points over 40.71 :)
Ouch!
45.23 sucked!!! I lost about ~800 points with it...
I thought about giving some 42.xx a shot.. But I will later :D
