here is my score for comparison sake
5970 - 960/1180

You need to turn off replication. That will increase your FPS on ATi cards and the default for the thread is to be off.

How about we benchmark according to this?

http://www.overclock.net/...n-benchmark-2-0-a.html

Render: Direct X 11
Mode: 1680x1050 fullscreen
Shaders: high
Textures: high
Filter: trilinear
Anisotropy: 16x
Occlusion: enabled
Refraction: enabled
Replication: off
Volumetric: enabled
Anti-Aliasing: default
Tessellation: extreme

There's even a bunch of ATI cards for you to compare to on that list. Crossfire, Trifire, quadfire and look at the last few pages where the Fermis posted their scores. Seems like the ATI cards need to move on down in the Heaven 2.0 table.

Sorry .. I don't have that benchmark yet guys and this is all i have for the 2x5850's at stock clocks 725/1000 and the i7 930 is also at stock 2.8Ghz.. i havn't downloaded any profiles yet but i am happy with this $600 setup.

dudes you should all know that we wont be seeing extreme tesellation in games for some time
so need to fuss about this much..

i am happy with my 5970atm so i dont think it is worth the money to upgrade to gtx480sli
atm as i also need to change my psu as well...

instead of this i will wait fermi rev2 or ati 6000series to show up

cesatvrai, it's great that you're happy.  But, to downplay Tessellation like it's no big deal is blasphemy.

yeah, i shouldn't compare the gtx 480 with a 5970 because the 5970 is faster, sorry guys.

The thread is supposed to be about what scores you get in heaven 2.0 with a GTX 480. No one cares that you have a 5970. You don't have to post in every thread about your 5970. It's getting old.... We know a 5970 gets a better score than a GTX 480 jeez. Why do people feel the need to constantly justify their purchases? Go be happy with your 5970.. and post your scores in a thread about the 5970.

+1
I'm getting tired of hearing about his 5970.  

I know its more far to compare two cards that directly compete against eachother, but in reality as computer enthusists, shouldnt we be comparing based on price/value? I mean ya the GTX 480 appears to be going very well against ATI's duel gpu card, but nvidia doesnt appear to have any dual 400 series cards atm- so it would seem fair that Nvidias top card be compared agains ATI's top card.

I care more about money (that i'm about to spend) as a statistic than the fellings the graphics cards may feel if unfairly compared.

well if that's the case then keep in mind that the 5970 is $200 usd more than the 480. :)

Thanks guys, no doubt GF100 runs Unigine brilliantly, more people are getting 470/480s in and at a $700 pricepoint for 2x470 I think that would be a compelling alternative compared to a 5970.  We should see some results with those in the next few days.  Lotta 470s sold from Newegg and TD over the last few days.

Very nice chizow, I think I drooled a little.

As promised... at 1920x1200 vs the 5970 @ 1920x1080

 
  
197.41 drivers. I'd say this is pretty comparable that 5970 shot you posted due to the much higher minimums and still-solid average...            and this is just an oc'd GTX 470, not even an OC'd GTX 480 =). It also costs HALF the amount ($350 for a GTX 470 vs. $700 for a Radeon 5970).
 
               EDIT: Just noticed Replication was enabled in yours, I will re-run with it enabled and post back. 
               EDIT2: I can't find the setting to enable it inside the benchmark... can anyone advise where it is set at?
              

              Good god if you guys are gonna bench at least turn af to 16 and use extreme tesselation pfft

Yah I'd like to see the most extreme settings and base my expectations off of that. Nothing is better then gaming at max quality. When i do benches. I'm not going to bench unless I bench at max settings. I'd do a few lower quality settings, but it's no fun looking at good frame rate and then say "oh but wait, its LOW QUALITY, meh forget it"... It's completely fufilling when you can look at a bench and say "wow thats great, but was it maxed? YES IT WAS! Great job! victory!"... That's peaceful!
 
So I don't even bother looking at many of the benches because they aren't using TES or higher settings. To everyone benching, try using max settings first, then going lower. It will make your time more valuable!

Here is my heaven @ 1920x1200 which is my native resolution  default





this is everything high /extreme 8x AA  / 16x anis   / Extreme   and 1920x1200




And this is 1920x1080 default



I dono why my low is 9.2 .. there is a bug or something xD


What is replication and does it help or hurt you when it is disabled? how do i enable it :P ?

Well i've heard of some having small hiccups at the beginning of the bench that causes such low FPS. I think it will fix itself. I'm not sure what people are doing to fix it, but they've all gotten over that. I hope you fix yours basicallyevolve

                                  Must be a bug because my min fps went down with lower settings lol

Just let the bench loop run for about 2-3 mins before you hit the benchmark key, the dip in FPS is just a HDD thrash loading textures.  SSD helps too.

Let's see who can get the best score!
 
BTW - I think Nvidia should include the Heaven 2.0 bench with the GTX 400 Series 
  
Render: direct 3d11
Mode 1920x1080 fullscreen
Shaders:high
Textures: high
Filtrer:trilinear
Anisotropy 4x
Occlusion:Enable
Refraction:Enable
Volumetric:Enable
Replication:Disable
Tessellation:Normal
 
 
This is done with a EVGA GTX 480 (Vanilla, stock clocks)
 
Set Fan temp to 75% - GPU temp never passed 84 degrees Celcius   
 

 
This is with an overclock on my GTX 480.  Only once the FPS dipped a little more, however my max FPS increased and score!  better than nothing....

His SSD's don't seem like it would be a big problem but I guess we can't underestimate that. I'm curious to see if it would happen on my X25-E's.

Mehhh, its not a competition =). Im happy with my setup and scores ;P

                  here we go didnt get the dip in min fps

Here is Me: No Overclocking on Cards or Board or CPU (how exciting P) Air Cooling. EVGA Classified 759, 12 gig ram Seagate Terrabyte, Creative XFI Fatality, Intel I7 940

I wonder it anyone is cheating from within the benchmark....

If you go to tesselation and turn all 3 scales to the left, you get a major increase in your FPS, even though it states on the summary page that they used "extreme tesselation"!

You seem to know a hell of alot about it.Are you cheating?lol
 
I havnt even looked at settings options except for main when ya start up program.

You can tell if someone is cheating by having someone with the same card to run it. The min. FPS will be a dead giveaway.

Here you go...Neighbors were complaining about their lights flickering though  :)

Oh great Trub is here to squash my Heaven video thread I'm about to link to

New PSU comes tomorrow... But I think I safely own the i7 860/P55 crowd.
