Yay!!! Finally some benchmarks. And not the usual 3dmark crap, but Vantage (never heard of it before, but finally Sdmark offers something that reflects REAL game performance).
Some comments:
* Nvidia increase over last gens core: ~85% (GTX280 compared to 8800GTX or equivalent)
* ATI increase over last gen: ~85% (4870 vs 3870)
* the test is done with AA on, which usually has been a performance handicap for the ATI cards(HD 2900, 3870)
* on the other hand the gap between GTX 280 and 260 seems too small, only 3FPS. Expect game benches to show at least a 20% difference between the two.
* Hmm... value. The 78% increase in CF (and in X2) is a best case scenario. I'm afraid that the 280GTX will be neck-and-neck with 4870X2 overall in performance before ATIs drivers for CF have matured. Also last gens X2 was slightly overpriced, so winner even in price-per-performance in the extreme high-end I believe goes to GTX 280.
