Basically, this is telling me that my old 1950 XT is better than my 2600 XT?

ChinStrap · Jun 4, 2009

yeah, thats what they are telling you.

Twigglish · Jun 4, 2009

And my 3650 is even less performing than both of them.

Yes because the 2600xt is the equivalent of a 3670

No it's right. Its the same thing as saying an nvidia 9600 < 8800. because it is lol

Tophinater · Jun 4, 2009

Don't mock the 8800. Its even faster than the 4890!

Nah, Tom's Hardware is doing it wrong

i just don't see a 4770 being faster then a 4870x2.

Twigglish · Jun 4, 2009

It's cool because everyone was suggesting all these card when I wanted to upgrade form my 1950 and well yea, I down-graded to a newer card. Yay me.

4890 - 42.5
8800GT - 43.6
9600GT - 41
4870 - 38.1
3870 - 28.3
4850 - 24.8
3850 - 23.5
4870x2 - 20.2

Even with nVidia obviously paying them, you'd think they'd at least make the benchmarks slightly believable. A 9600GT beating a 4870, let alone the x2 version? Yeah effing right... That's ignoring the sheer idiocy of claiming that a 3850 will outperform a 4870x2.

I've always been under the impression Tom's Hardware was super believable.

thats because you have never been to the toms forums.... its full of noobs asking if they got a good deal on their new dell

Tom stands for a Totaly Obvious Mockery.

bah, its clearly a type-o. Tom's is a reliable site, but they've recently revamped their UI and charts, clearly still have some mistakes. If you look at any of their reviews they dont make those mistakes.

+1, their setups may not be the best... but their numbers are solid. This is clearly a mistake on the labels not matching the FPS results.

You could have a look at the VGA Charts at Guru3D as well.

That looks better, I just wish they had older/lower-end cards listed.
