same with game 3 and game 4 . nvidia G70's scored nothing

"lthough the GeForce 7800GTX is one of the fastest performing GPUs in real-world games it cannot do HDR and anti-aliasing simultaneously. ATI can. As a result, NVIDIA puts in a zero score for the HDR/SM3.0 with anti-aliasing tests."

Why hasn't Nvidia released a driver update or can they even do aa with HDR/SM3.0


please don't start to flame me since i had a 2x nvidia 7800GTX 256mb which i have sold 1 of them 2 weeks ago and other was given to my someone. it was an great card since the day i bought it at its launch. Now i have perorder x1900xt for $520.24 , well my friend has and he is going mail it to me.

probably having same problem when ATI was transiting to 90nm and they were having issue with heat & die at high clock speed. Anyways if NVIDIA plans to clock those baby at 700 MHz on all 32 pipeline they would trying to find a way to get good die or it maybe a very expensive card just like the 7800GTX 512MB . Also NVIDIA may thought that the 7800GTX 512MB would be still the king which it will loose its title performance and especially in price when R580 comes out next week.

Anyways i say arround early march you see them in store and then by then ATI should come up with a counter attack of x1800xt pe which should end the war of G7X vs R5XX for high end placement. then both company would be making its plans to start a whole new war with the R6XX vs G8X.

why did they bother testing this? lol everyone knew it wasnt gonna happen, its not really any use when doing comparisons. i hope G71 can do it, theyve altered the core so maybe they have. i dont think they'll be having too many problems with the 90nm, its been out a while so they probably know where the problem areas are and how to overcome them,......for ATI it was unknown territory, they were stabbing in the dark.

The problem with ATi was that one part of the card had been given wrong specs in a product database, so it seemed to be able run at high speed. Once they found out, they got a the part they needed to run at the desired speed.
