nice, a few recommendations...
1. Replace R with Are and U with You.
2. Change it from "this thread" to "this site", it is not a thread anymore.

Its very well done.

My suggestion (maybe I'm picky) is just to have someone clean up the grammar a little. As far as Capitalizing things etc. But a great idea and very nice charts!

your test system specs for the NVidia lists an ATI card. also, yeah, the grammar issues. But otherwise thanks, this is helpful!

i just thought there would be a much larger difference between the 4850 and 3850. here are my results w/ 3GB ram, e2160 @ 3GB on 32bix xp w/ catalyst 8.6 @ 1280x1024:

crysis:
2AA:
min fps - 15.66
max fps - 28.66
avg fps - 22.8

4AA:
min fps - 15.75
max fps - 29.37
avg fps - 24.935

w/ a bit more tinkering and 4AA:
min fps - 15.79
max fps - 29.56
avg fps - 25.205

maybe it is because the resolution but i thought the 4850 would have really beaten the 3850.

company of heroes #s - set to max and 4AA:
min fps - 11.9
max fps - 63
avg fps - 58.1

looks like you 4850 is resolution restricted :thumbsup:

something doesn't seem right with the crysis results , how r they so high with 4xAA on a HD3850, which had AA problems , u have everything on High right and very high ?

i don't know what it is but i have run the benchmark from within the demo and a friend let me borrow his full version, so it is v1.21 and i get the same results from within the game - ea's little .bat file and that tool i posted a link to. i have benchmarked at least 50x stressing my card since it is new, one to make sure my gpu o/c is ok (770/998). yes, all settings to high w/ 4AA. i don't have a very high option (maybe because i am dx9 and not 10?). i am using the most current distro of dx9c - the june distro, so maybe that helps?

here is another benchmark i just ran -

GO here : http://hardwarebenchmark.googlepages.com

If u guys like the work, could u plz leave ur thx by clicking the google ads and help support my effort, to go to college and buy new hardware .

Thanks! Very nice. I clicked on all your links.

If I can make a suggestion. I would write a little more about what those graphs mean. I sentence or 2 describing what each figure means can go a long way into making this more palatable to the general audience. If you notice in most reviews, they try to be as descriptive as possible and state the variables.

Also the charts could be consistant. The Nvidia graph and ATI graph the data differently from each driver to FPS min, avg, max. You may want to stick with one format for both.

Anyways, thanks for the benchies.

I'd check it out, but I don't speak your language.

Nothing ethnocentric here, but this is primarily an English-speaking forum, and you should abide by that unwritten rule when making posts.

with 2 AA my avg fps is 33, while yours is 28 . also i got vista and you have xp . your cpu is at 3ghz while mine is at 2.6 ghz . 5 fps in crysis is a big deal. So that may be it .

this site is using 8.6 drivers.. i found the 8.7 drivers gave a performance increase all around.

the official 8.7s came out today....maybe give him a bit of time to put up those results. your post makes it sound like he is giving out slow/old info...
