3DMark 2005 score : 7807 (5146)

Performance summary : Screaming

The performance improvement (51%) is what I expected. Awesome. Of course, the cost is up to the performance too.

Wondering where those 300+ million transistors are for ? Check the Pixel Shader fillrate : double the 6800 Ultra. Now my Battlefield 2 game works with 64 bots and is silky smooth at 1280x1024.
