ATI 4870 benchmark leaked

[refraction]

hmm, after seeing that calculator, providing the calculation is right (which i believe it is) im not very convinced by that "leaked" shot. too many times leaked versions seem to be idiots trying to look "cool" which ends up biting them in the butt.

Edit: another suspicious thing, you google 6.14.10.6783, which is the shown driver version number which is "apparently" 8.4. you will find its actually the 8.3 driver.

I think the gpu-z shot is real,

6.14.10.6783 is also the number in catalyst 8.4 for xp
(i think it was in a beta build though)

here's a validation of 8.4 with the 6.14.10.6783 number

Refraction, I think that version you mean is the 8.3 hotfix drivers.

I'm waiting with investing in a GPU until these cards are released. There's some pretty nifty features on them, such as the ultra low idle power usage. I just hope ATi can finally fix its AA so that 2xAA and 4xAA won't give as much of a penalty as it does now.

First of all, I'm new to this forum, I just saw that picture so I had to register here to tell you guys it's clearly fake.

First of all, the 3DMark06 Calculator says enough
Second of all, it's been made on a Mac, and in 3DMark06, it says OS: Windows XP

Which clearly says it's bull****!

Oh well, I'll leave again, have fun ladys.

actually that's a mac-clone windowblinds skin,
I've used it

check the internet explorer icon and the microsoft word document

there could be other factors to account for the weird score,
possible a non standard test config using the full 3dmark06 version with AA or something else unknown

and the gpu-z matches the confidential specs

ps. i'm no girl

There is Internet Explorer and Microsoft Word for Mac (or at least Microsoft Word for Mac)... but that's beside the point.
3DMark is Windows-only IIRC. But here is what you should consider: is this an engineering sample or a retail card? Because... Sapphire? And no (ES)? Hello? It seems like the guy has a RETAIL card... which is almost impossible at this point. I rest my case.
