It's in German
If these benches are true, then "Good night Nvidia"...only 412 (!) more points in 3Dmark SE (compared to a 9700 pro) , and only marginal better
general performance than a Radeon 9700 pro.
In some benchmarks (eg. serious sam, 1600x1200) the FX has an advantage of only 2,4% (two point 4), in other tests the FX is even slower than ATI's card !
The fazit of this first benchmarks on the german site is like "a very big disappointment" and they rise the question whether all the features of the FX (eg. cineFX) are actually worth the money if there are no apps/games which utilize them...
This now serioulsy makes me consider getting a 9500 and mod it to a 9700 pro or wait for the R350/R400....(despites that i am not extremely happy with ATI drivers....)
Anyway...will follow other FX reviews 'til i decide what my next card will be....
