NVIDIA GF100 versus GeForce GTX 285 Video Card in Far Cry 2

Listen to Lars from NVIDIA talk about the Far Cry 2 Benchmark as it runs on a GF100 and a GTX285 graphics cards in side by side test systems. The final results can be seen on www.LegitReviews.com, but if you are lazy it was 84FPS on the GF100 and 50FPS on the GTX285. Not bad for ultra high image quality at 1920x1200.

They should have tested it against a GTX 295.

sweet, faster than the gtx 285, hope this gives more than the 5970.

@rayright15 Far Cry 2 is a Nvidia optimized game, morron

Flashing to another BIOS ahahaha wow. Funny stuff. A BIOS flash won't change the vid that is set when the card is binned. All the AIB's run different vids on the cards.

@Mrinfinit3 Here is the reply from the EVGA product manager Jacob Freeman to you: "No truth to this at all, where did you see this posted?

In fact, different cards will ship with different voltages, this is part of the binning process and is not particular to EVGA in any way whatsoever."

@Mrinfinit3 You can stand by your comments but you have no proof to back them up. Contact the EVGA product manager or make your comments in the EVGA forum.

@robert3892 Do you one better bud. I'll drive over there on Weds. (Have to pick-up some 460s we're fitting our LN2 POTs on) I'll grab someone (will not name him on here)directly and talk to him about it during lunch :) My advice would be to start visiting more "non-Bias" forums such as the nvidia direct , ocn, or my personal favorite trubritarforums. Remember EVGA needs to make $. Although EVGA's 2nd revisions have gotten better since the .001 BIOS package, I stand by my comment.

@Mrinfinit3 Your comments are complete and utter bogus. please go the EVGA forum to find comments made by the EVGA Product manager in regards to your comments

ROFL so funny.

lets see what the chicken does this time.

when you do this all day long.. the chicken is the most entertaining issue, rofl

As in GPU computing... the GTX480 outputs approx 20% more "computing" power than the gtx295 and generates less heat than the dual pcb model.

If your looking into buying... just stay away from EVGA for the moment... they are having some Q/A issues and are shipping out FERMI cards w/ mixed voltage ratings which cause stability and heating issues. The top FERMI "brands" to go with currently are ASUS ,Galaxy, and Gigabyte. (In that order) EVGA users should re-flash bios to ASUS ver .003

The GTS250 is an updated version of the 9800gtx but overclocks much much better. We have seen dual lightly over clocked GTS250's in SLI out perform GTX260'sin SLI in both 3dmark vantage and Crysis runs. Some games do not like SLI like DOW:2. Most RTS's are SLI sensitive but are prone to be more CPU biased than anything. Sorry it took so long to reply.
