    hey guys can u see all games are running under 2560 X 1600 with 8X AA & 16X AF:oo:
    yes and the GTX295 looses because it is limited by memory :nerd:
    If it had the same amount of memory then the GTx295 would have beat it at that resolution?

    I want to ask you a question
    Do most gamers play with those settings? 2560x1600 8xAA 16xAF
    Most people play with 1920x1200, 1680x1050 and at 1280x720/1280x1024 and at those resoultions, the GTx 295 is the best for them :dull:

    it is true that the hd4870x2 is cheaper than the GTX295 and offers identical performance :P but the GTX300 series will be an ATI killer with DX11 support, GDDR5,2GB RAM and MIMD based cores :rofl: :dull:



    he he....That's what you guys said before ATI HD4XXX launch...:P

    ATI card perform better when it come to hi resolution+AA due to it's memory capacity

    Anyway don't put Guru3D charts. They are always faver nVIDIA. I checked both models @ UK PcWorld with high resolution+8xAA enabled . Nvidia can't beat ATI.:lol:

    Now don't say 8xAA is not important,When you pay $500 for graphic card it want to be a best performer with all settings enabled :)

    meh! don't talk rubbish :P
    It's a limitation of the GTX260 memory bus,, can't help..

    These cards are for ultra high end systems,
    not for the 1680x , 1280x resolutions,, So these cards must target 2650x1600, and with full AA and AF of course.. :)

    :oo: :) I know that its limited by the GTX260 mem. bus :dull:
    so don't you think that ultra high end consumers would quad sli or quad crossfirex? They want to get the best performance that is possible
    And afaik SLi scales better than crossfire :rolleyes:

    Anyways these cards are highly capable of the max res with AA and AF for current games.. I don't see any point going with quad setups at the moment... (Well,,, Crysis is an exception :rofl:)

    Crysis is not a well optimised game...Actually it's optimised for nVIDIA (Except Warhead which perform better than first title with every hardware)

    nVIDIA paid $4+ millions to get that optimised for nVIDIA right :)
