Just happened to stumble upon this performance review with the new Brink game.

I think the results speak for themselves.

The gtx 590 ti is beating up on a 6990. (crossfire seems to be broken)
gtx560 beating the 6950 2gb
Even the old, power hungry,hot ass gtx480 is beating up on the 6970.
gtx460 1gb is woopen the 6850.


http://www.techspot.com/review/397-brink-performance/page2.html

if I were to guess ,I would bet the gtx560 non ti would be neck and neck with the 6950.

Uh, as far as I can tell, the 6990 is not in the test:

"Thanks to the proper SLI support, Nvidia's dual-GPU GTX 590 still managed to deliver smooth gameplay, averaging 60fps on the dot. As we mentioned earlier, Crossfire support isn't available for Brink yet, so we couldn't test the HD 6990."

And the 6950 is killing not only the 560Ti but also the 480:

Did you mean to link to another review?

By the way, if this forum upsets you so much, you'd probably be better off finding another one rather than picking fights here.

It is in Video. You're really acting out now. No turning back now I suppose.

and your trolling as per usual, no turning back?

Don't troll me dude, I have been watching your game for years.

I respect a troll, fanboy with balls , more than a troll/ fanboy hiding behind a wall of bullshit.

Do me favor and put me on your ignore list.

Oh and this thread isn't EXACtly the same *ucking thing?

Seems the issue is related to nvidia's drivers and is not just happening to SLI users:

AMD cards are running the game just fine in DX11 with good framerates, a 5850 is outperforming a GTX 580 in DX11 in this game!

Oh I must have forgotten, its ok for AMD fanboys to have a 10+ page thread but in the dictatorship Anand forums locks any thread against AMD drivers.

Here we go again....same shit but a month later, who else is gonna call out this bullcrap?
Bias modding at its best.

I'm sure I'll get a vacation for calling out but WHATS RIGHT IS RIGHT!

You earned a vacation imo.

You know the difference between your thread and mine ? I owned the hardware and was getting piss poor performance. What you're after here who knows.

I also made a thread on the nv forums, that grew even larger than the one here. Next major driver release, bam, huge fixes and they even tossed out graphs specifically pointing out the DA2 improvements. So I hope it helped to get some improvement.

You own a 460 as well, and not even multi-gpu.

Guess what. NV SLI is scaling piss poor in Witcher 2, almost non-existent. Perhaps a thread is in order. ():)

I tend to be on Happy's side. When Nvidia is to be blamed, 10s of pages of personal attacks and the thread will still stay. Happy's thread showing the same case with the players switch sides and were locked with the claim of baiting and trolling. Hey, this is democracy, we say what we think, although most of them are garbages, sometimes there are good meat inside, otherwise the thread will die naturally.

Dictatorship is different. You are not allow to speak garbages. If garbages is what usually come out of your mouth, than they find ways to silence you.

Clearly, Happy knows the risk, and will probably disappear, but he does have ballz.

Hmmm, "gtx560 beating the 6950 2gb."

*Go to linked article, find nothing of the sort.*

Perhaps this is part of the issue with your thread?

Edit: Unless you meant SLI vs Crossfire, in which case I would lean towards trolling, regardless of if it's red or green team being slammed about it. AFAIK, the Dragon Age 2 performance problem affected single nVidia GPUs too. It hasn't been a secret that multi-gpu setups need a lot more custom tuning and profiling to get results. Maybe make a thread about how nVidia's SLI support is better than AMD's Crossfire support? At least that would be an up front discussion rather than a backhanded slam on specific game titles.

Are we seeing the same graphs here?

If anything it just shows you how stupidly overpriced the GTX 580 is.

So much for the monthly AMD driver releases with numerous hot fixes.
I'm glad I switched back to Nvidia.

you are linking the wrong review.

All this text is based on the russian gpureview site.... and the funny thing is that they benched with a beta driver from nvidia and the official 11.4 from ati.

if techspot would have used one of those hotfixes you are yapping about ati would perform even better than they are now.

If one can have "ballz" on a virtual discussion board...?
Well it isn't referring to sex or gender, it refers to one who have the guts, bravery and courage to stand for what s/he believes to be right. Most of them ended up with their ballz cracked in horrible ways, but that is another story.

So Seero, let me fix Jionix post so you understand it better:

If we are comparing happy's locked thread to Groove's Dragon Age thread, there is a clear difference in the tone, manner, and purpose of each.

And if I'm missing something... his own statements are contradicted by the very source link he provides:

gtx560 beating the 6950 2gb
Even the old, power hungry,hot ass gtx480 is beating up on the 6970.
gtx460 1gb is woopen the 6850.

Well, the 3 threads are on the first page. The original thread from Happy, and the DA2 thread from Groove. This thread clearly offended varies forum roles on multiple counts, but not the original one?

Did you not read what I wrote? His original thread was not the same in tone, manner, and purpose to Groove's thread as he likes to claim. On top of that, his "stellar" history does not help his case one single bit.

There's nothing wrong in reporting that Crossfire was broken, but he did far more than simply just report the issue. And those extraneous words along with his history is the reason I'm assuming it was locked. But he doesn't understand that. He thinks he is absolutely right. And that is why we have this current tirade.
