新出爐的
果然各大測試網站早就準備好了
只等NV正式發表，NDA解禁

畫質進步



ATI被批評
Driver過渡優化

Questionable optimizations in ATi's drivers?

Earlier this year, NVIDIA drew a lot of flak over a number of questionable optimizations in their drivers for 3DMark 2003 - optimizations which could definitely be called cheats. It was in response to this that NVIDIA came up with the guidelines pertaining to performance optimizations mentioned above. Laudably, we haven't been able to make out any "violations" of the new rules in the new driver v52.16 - at least so far.

ATi, on the other hand, repeatedly claimed that their drivers implemented no illegitimate optimizations. The accusations leveled against ATi at NVIDIA's Editors' Day two days ago thus become that much more serious. Epic's Mark Rein confirmed that in some cases, high-res detail textures were not displayed in some areas by ATi´s drivers and that standard, lower-res textures are used instead. Randy Pitchford of the Halo development team also mentioned that there were optimizations present in ATi's drivers which are detrimental to Halo's image quality. However, Randy didn't want to go into more detail here. Finally, Massive's new DX9 benchmark, AquaMark 3, also displayed some irregularities of ATi drivers in the overdraw test.

52.16看來的確是兼具讓FX系列效能提升又兼固畫質的好驅動.....雖然 DX9的古墓奇兵上依然輸 R9800 但是至少可跟 R9700Pro拉平,之前的驅動表現的讓 5900 大概只有 R9600Pro的水準(指在特定幾款遊戲上)

看完了 看原文真累:sleep:

Tom提到5950的外型讓人聯想到5800
那噪音呢??好險 比起5800相當的安靜
隨著5950跟5700的問世
52.16版的雷管相當不錯喔
不但有效能上的提升也有畫直上的提升喔
也做了畫質比較FASS方面ATI還是贏過NV
這大概是因為取樣方式不一樣造成的 沒辦法@@a
但是在AF方面NV進步很多
在AquaMark3測試的截圖中
雖然大部分還是ATI較為優效
但是NV也是有相當突出的地方
(要用到靜止放大才比較出來:jolin: )
在效能上 就幾乎一面倒向9800XT
當然NV本來就強的幾款遊戲都還是大大領先ATI
只不過在幾個最近出的還有比較熱門的(魔三 將軍等)
還是ATI小贏NV
而5700也沒想像中可以狂電9600XT
互有領先(輸的多@@)
最後也有說到在4xFASS+8xAF
5950跟5700幾乎都是慘敗給9800XT/9600XT

不過文中有提到 最近ATI的DRIVER在最近幾款新程式中
好像又出現所謂的"優化"(作弊:eek: )
也附上AquaMark3一個火光特效還做對比
看來ATI要小心啊 不要又走別人的路

我想這次這兩款新產品都是宣示大過實質意義
不過我想這次要給NV叫好的是雷管終於回到正途了
畢竟NV的DRIVER一向都是受到肯定的
希望ATI這次能跟NV看齊啊:D

不過看完本文 小弟的9800XT大概敗定了:cool:

NV的Driver Team這陣子不曉得多死了多少腦細胞...
前陣子一邊作APP optimize(邪道),一邊還要絞盡腦汁寫出正常的Driver榨乾硬體效能...
前面還有Marketing在放煙幕彈...(well,雖然不是很成功...反而把自己的名聲都破壞了...)

這家公司的戰鬥力真的很可怕...
A/N之戰還有得瞧...(寫成N/A事情就大條了...)

寫成N/A就表示Not Available
沒得玩:D

nVIDIA 的目標是成為第二個 INTEL 啊...

放心吧~有人早就在扯後腿了.NV想要成為GPU界的Intel,我看蠻難的....:rolleyes:
不過此乃商場現實,如果讓NV一家獨占,那跟它配合的廠商就沒有談判籌碼,那還玩個屁呀~~

不過對消費者來說有競爭是有絕對的好處的.

NV Intel第二還沒當到，
當老大的蠻橫與睜眼說瞎話的能力倒是學了不少。:jolin:
尤其是從對手的R300發表後。:rolleyes:

這一年來NV官方承認的driver BUG，好像也不少。

Nvidia 加油吧....

好不容易出了一版算不錯的Driver....

終於趕到有點欣慰.....

希望還能再更上一層樓
