7900 GT SLI benchmarks

[bjc112]

I'll stick with 12k on my single XTX...

But why in the world would they run it on a 3000+ @ stock?

7900GT SLI vs my X1900XT(@XTX)

2425 vs 2422
2770 vs 2740

so ya, it barely edges out my XT@XTX speeds but this explains pretty well why nVidia is offering these cards as such low prices.

Read the whole thread, it is 1 single 7900GT vs. your X1900XT:

WRONG You MORON!

"the scores were this:

7900GT SLI -- 3dmark 2003 >>>23340 all default @CPU 1800Mhz /VGA default


7900GT --3dmark 2005 >>> 8580 (only get single 7900 score maybe drivers issue) all default @CPU a 1800Mhz //VGA default


7900GT --3dmark 2006 >> 4635 (only get single 7900 score maybe drivers issue) all default @CPU a 1800MHZ //VGA default"

:laugh:

I'm going to get a little bit nasty here becuase I happen to be in a BAD mood.

It's SLI scores

GEEEZE, Next time why don't YOU TAKE A CLOSER LOOK at the PICTURE!

</flame>

Now let me opologise for having offended you. Just next time, please don't go around posting FUD like that. That sorta gets my Irish up.

Edit: For the record, I expect the 7900GT's to have a little better performance than they do in the SM2.0 @ SM3.0 scores in 3dmark06 once they are benched on a decent rig.

Oh the smell of a burnt Irishman!(I'm part Irish so I can say that).
Edit- If the 8500 score is correct for that CPU and memory the 7900GT is going to be one sweet card!

"yes 2005 and 2006 scores are not of ' 7900GT SLI( think drivers issue) , only 3dmark 2003 score its of 7900Gt SLI"

"Yeah, on the original site they said there were some driver issues with the SLI."

I think the ~8500 in 3dmark05 sounds about right for a single 7900gt, according to the rumored specs. A single 7800gtx gets ~7600. Which brings me to my next question: why aren't the suposedly awesome Nv drivers doing their job?

 

[RobertR1]

Looks good for a single card! Sli might be working but his 1.8 CPU will hold it back considerably so you might be seeing Sli scores which are severely bottlenecked by the CPU. Just something to consider.

As usual, wait for the official number in only a few days! I'm curious as how GT will hold up against the upcoming x1900xl and the x1800GTO.

 

[Dethfrumbelo]

Definite CPU limitation. Try at least 2.4GHz and then we'll see something accurate. No one is going to spend that kind of money on video cards and an SLI mobo, and then skimp on the CPU or not even bother to overclock it.

 

[RobertR1]

Why would Sli not be working??? A single 7900GT won't be able to score 8580 with a 1.8 CPU in 05 if you go by the rumored specs. Sli is probably working but highly limited by the CPU, in this case, thus marginal gains.

 

[Elfear]

Sounds like a lot of speculation at this point, even from the guy who posted the benchmarks (who, by the way, isn't the guy that actually ran the benchmarks). SLI works for '03 but not for '05 or '06?? Plausible I guess, but seems a little weird. My 7800GTs at stock (450/1050) paired with an Opteron 146@2.0GHz only scored in the 9500 range so maybe the cpu is severly holding the cards back. I'm anxious to see some real benchmarks so we can get an idea of what these new cards will do.

What is a 7800GTS?

 

[Cookie Monster]

He meant 7800GT SLi?

 

[firewolfsm]

i basically have the same system as you, and i get about 8150 (my 144 is at 2.7)

LOL, then how hard is it to type two little letters? Li Ouch my fingers are all worn out.
8500 or better sounds about right for the 7900GT (single card). Probably be closer to 9000 with better CPU.

Maybe you type to much?

That score sounds iffy but it is not to extreme so it sounds feasible. I scored 7500 with a 7800GT with my 2.4ghz Venice and 7768 with my 1800XL O/C like a madman. A 1.8ghz Venice seems to low for even that score to happen.

 

[Matt2]

Will someone with 7800GT/X SLI and a single core CPU please run 3dMark @ 1.8GHZ. That score sounds ridiculously low.

I call BS until someone with 7800GT/X SLI confirms that score with their single core CPU @ 1.8

FOR THE LAST TIME

THE 3D MARK 2005 AND 2006 SCORES ARE USING A SINGLE 7900GT DUE TO DRIVE ISSUES. THE 3D MARK 2003 SCORE IS OF 7900GT SLI.

 

[gi0rgi0]

Sounds like its the cpu holding it back.

I guess I'm wondering how the guy posting the info knows that. I imagine he wouldn't have taken screenshots of the benchmarks and SLI enabled if he was certain that SLI was not working for '05 and '06. Is he just guessing that since the scores are low that SLI must not be enabled or does he have some more concrete evidence? That is not made clear in the post over at XS so it might be better to lay off yelling at people for assuming SLI is working.

I wonder as well. How you can see or check if there is "a driver issue"? It doesn't make sence. It's more realistic it's SLI with slow CPU.

thats exactly what i said 2nd/3rd post in. as usual the ATI crew ignore it, when it is the very likey cause of the low score. ive witnessed myself nearly 2000 mark increase just from a 600Mhz oc on the cpu.

its either the cpu holding it back

or the drivers they used are quite set up for 7900 series in SLI. which makes sense since the cards arent acutally out yet

 

[mazeroth]

I bet he photoshopped the pic to have the 9 instead of 8 for 7800GT. Look at what it stirred up

I'd hope that even hardcore ATI guys would realize that 8500 is waaayyyy too low for SLI'd 7900GTs, at least when paired with a decent cpu.

It's kind of funny. Seems like every pre-release benchmark we see has problems and than everyone assumes the worst. Like when the guy over at HardOcp got an X1900XTX and was only getting ~9100 in 3DMark05. Lots of people screamed that the card was a piece of junk and than real benchmarks came out showing the contrary. Can't wait for the real benchmarks next week.

That decent cpu is missing though.

Yeah I think SLI was functioning, just the CPU was holding it back badly. I don't expect the G71 to be anything special anyhow, I don't see why anyone else here does. The 7900 GT will essentially be a 7800 GTX on 90nm and the 7900 GTX will be a 512 GTX on 90 nm. With ATi's new price drops, I don't think nVidia has anything on ATi at this point aside from duo 7900 GTX and quad SLI but that only matters to a very tiny fraction of the market anyway.

Ya, I'm not expecting amazing feats of video card power from the new 7900 series, if rumor is true that is. Hopefully they'll oc like crazy though.
