for what it is worth

its not worth much, no info, no good pics, no dates

Not worth much, except to show that the r520 is up and running. Zardon has been known in the past to accentuate the positive about ATI, as he is well connected with them, but there is surely some truth in all this. What that score means?:beer:

i dont care what it is, that deserves a UT2004 esq HOLY SH!T

though i would be completely gobsmacked if that was a Prototype XGI card

Worth about as much as ATI "launching" the X850 last time (See: AT news article about ATI pulling any chance of getting the 850 on their site :roll: )

Riiiiiiight.

You do realize that its easy to fake things, and besides, nVidia and ATi both could make a GPU that would get 100,000 3dmarks, but that doesn't mean that they'll actually be making it for real.

The shortages, and even straightout vaporware over the past year should be enough proof for why people are skeptical.

No they couldn't. You do realize that 3DMark01 is entirely CPU limited? a 9800 pro scores 38,000 in it on an FX-55 heavily overclocked to 3.4ghz~

We won't know what the next generation hold until nVida and/or ATI decides to tell us. Until then it is all rumors and speculation.

It's true. I went from a 9800 ATI to a 6800GT and yielded maybe 500-1k point gain in 2001. The bigger gain came from a 2.0 Newcastle to a 2.6 Winchester in dual channel. I also don't think 2001 is realistic in real-world CPU performance in games. As any 3.4 GHz Intel can beat out a any AMD 64 that isn't overclocked to hell and gone. 2001 is pure computational CPU power, which it's why it's one of the worst benchmarking programs you can use when comparing manufacturers (AMD vs Intel).

A 4.3 over clocked Prescott could easily score those results with any normal Mid-Range video card.

Why would you test a dx9c card on 2003 or 2001 se 3dmark apart from to get a big bonner at inflated numbers as it wll score more than your old card at time when dx8.1 was new LOL 😉

I use 2005 for my 6800U as its dx9c

False. Find one person with a 40k score with a 9800 Pro.

I dont care about 3dmark, but your post is just wrong.

A quick search showed the highest 9800 Pro score was 32076. Thats with a FX-55@3.3gig, and a seriously volt modded, and overclocked 9800 Pro. Cooled with 2 Prommies.

As you can see, a 9800 Pro with a very overclocked CPU cannot get 40k.

So, even if a 9800 pro can't get that a 6800gt or x800pro could easily do it.

37,000+ everything stock cooled with only an X850 XT PE. It's not that difficult to hit 40,000 with current hardware. I'm gonna call bs on this as well.

Not true, has been beat using an x800xt pe with an amd processor, but this is by extreme overclockers. They are not using air and the card was likely not at stock. Anyways if so easy, someone here should just do it and post. Whatever this means about the r520, it does show that it is up and running. Would not be like Zardon to mislead about that.

Not bs, but it may mean that the r520 is not too impressive and that the new intel cpus oc better than amd. Still over 40,000 with vid card at stock settings seems pretty acceptable. Something is pretty quick in his system.
