I seriously doubt R600 can significantly beat G80... anywhere at all. This test might be a little outdated (and I plan to redo i in the future), but the performance figures are not far from the truth. OC variants of 8800 Ultra might even get very close to HD 4870 in some games. http://hw-museum.cz/article/3/benchmark-vga-2 … 2012-edition-/1
Lets see:
HD 4890 OC @ 950/4500, 1GB
HD 2900 XT @ 742/1660, 512MB
HD 2600 XT @ 800/2200, 256MB GDDR4
X1900 XTX @ 650/1550, 512MB
GTX 285 @ 650/2500, 1GB
8800 GTX @ 575/1800, 768MB
8600 GTS @ 675/2000, 256MB
7950 GT OC @ 600/1500, 512MB
6800 Ultra @ 400/1100, 256MB

---------------------------
I think Mafia 2, Crysis 2 or Far Cry 2 are all "modern enough"... and still 2900XT has no chance of even catching the 8800 GTX, let alone "destroying". So here goes that one 🤣 Later (in quite distant future), I'll do some tests using windows 7 and DX10 games... but still, I see no chance of 2900 XT winning.
