    This is where we stand.

    [email protected] 88GTX@600/1570/970 FSB 800/667 [email protected] 98GTS@698/1798/988 FSB 800?/1033


    1900x1200

    19.795 17.705

    +2.09


    1499x1050

    32.075 28.365

    +3.71


    1680x1050

    26.525


    1280x1024

    35.075 31.690

    +3.385

    So on an even platform; I doubt very seriously that notebookcheck only had 1FPS difference with all being the same and no overclock.

    No, against the 98GT and 98GTX.

    They claimed that the 98GTX was like 2 to 3 FPS more than the GTS. And that the 98GT was like 1 FPS more, I'll post the link.

    Actually.. My CPU is downclocked just a touch.. stock it's a 11.5 multiplier, but runs @ 11x with RMClock. Cant get the extra half. So, I'm closer to 2.9ish :) And run yours stock, no overclock...VS mine stock..no OC on GPU/FSB/STOCK. just the 1280x1024.

    LOL!

    You always have some sort of an excuse; it must be in the bloodline? I’m cool with what went down, this is over. Johnksss got 27FPS with overclocked GPU; mine will beat that at default. So anything else is irrelevant. Now we just need someone who will give an honest score with 98GT and 98GTX.

    As I ve posted in the other thread. GTS, which is a civic with couple of turbos can not beat a GTX, which is a ferrari. It might keep up on the straights but in the corners the Ferrari will blast it.

    I guess that the original purpose of this thread is now solved, the 8800m GTX will beat the 9800m GTS like it was supposed to, and that Notebookcheck either messed up something, did not run the tests on even platforms, or altered the scores on purpose.

    Although I agree that there should be a Stock 8800m GTX VS Stock 9800m GTS comparation for informative purposes on this thread.

    I am anxious to see how does the 8800m GTX / 9800m GT compare to the 9800m GTX.

    Cheers and keep the playground fair, guys. :D

    about that...i only gained like 2 to 3 frames going from stock to over clocked, but i can't remember. dammn i might have to boot my drives in another machine to see if i can find those runs.

    nice!!!! now im asking for a single and a dual card run, since no one else seems to want to do this. which i don't understand why...

    and i think im going to be ordering mine this week. dual gt's

    im not picky. 1280x1024, 1600x1200 (1920x1200 only if you have it) high/very high. so we can get to the bottom of notebookcheck's comparison. didn't zenica run a crysis test with his 9800m gt?? im so tired of searching and looking that i gave up for a day..*LOL* i have been looking at every 9800/8800 anything thread for the past 5 days. :D :D

    Well someone over at the sager forum claimed he got 47 fps average in DX10 1920x1200 which I really doubt. Now I don´t know if he had a tweaked Crysis or anything, however two 9800m GT in SLI isn´t that much better nor faster than two 8800m GTX in SLI. So I very much doubt those scores.

    well..magnus, since you don't care to run stock to stock..which by the way, is how notebookcheck compares cards..not OC'd to the stable limits.. I'll go ahead and post mine. brb

    8800m GTS and 9800m GTS is not too far away in Crysis at least at 1920x1200. 2-3 frames per average differ. Though the benchmark doesn´t involve any firefights so in real game it might differ more.

    Better up is to run the benchmark on some of the heavier levels and see what kind of difference we will get.

    Now if I had an extreme CPU I would probably get 2-3 more fps average at 1920x1200 High :)

    However I do have a config now that just looks plain awesome and averages 37 fps at 1920x1200. Thread here, scroll down a page and you will see some screenshots too. I posted the config too autoexec.cfg so do try it out and do run the game in DX9. Just place autoexec.cfg directly in the Crysis root folder and be sure you have no system.cfg tweaks in Crysis/Config folder first.

    Or, to save us all the trouble..and as Aeris requested a DIRECT comparison, of the non-OCd 9800m GTS vs 8800m GTX for informative purposes..here is my half of the puzzle. Same as before, settings in game to high, and res to 1280x1024. Then ran bench.. Anyhow, maybe now that you've seen mine..you'll show me yours. :p

    Looking good, actually those extra 32 SP´s of the 8800m GTX doesn´t destroy any 8800m GTS nor any 9800m GTS, it is a tad faster though. But anyway the 8800m GTS and 9800m GTS is very nice GPU´s indeed. They are basically an desktop 9600 GT :)

    Agreed on the 8800m GTS VS 9800m GTS.

    Nice config, those screenshots look beautiful and fantastic overall.

    Thanks for the data, E-Wrecked, I will keep your post's link at handy for when someone is willing to bench a Stock 8800m GTX, or for when I get my laptop back from repairs and if I have any spare money to buy Crysis (going through a harsh situation right now, moved, old house has not been sold yet, renting a house, etc...) and do some benchmarking.

    Hmm E-Wrecked can you overclock your 9800m GTS to the highest you can and run the Crysis benchmark again at 1920x1200. I am interested to see if a high overclock on the Core/Shaders/Mem can compensate for the 32 SP´s that isn´t there compared to the 8800m GTX.

    Hehe, I just hope it won't take days to download on my measly 1.5 Mbps / 280 Kbps Cable Modem connection. xP

    Edit:

    Hehe, nice framerate on the GTX 280, John, maybe 47 FPS were a bit... off?, it sounds unbelievable, maybe as Magnus said, he tweaked Crysis around to increase his FPS, who knows?

    johnksss well I asked him about it on the Sager forum, he hasn´t responded yet. Since first he ran with the front end that has a bug as we have concluded. Then he claimed he got the same framerate running with the .bat file. He even posted the bat file. But as I said no way he gets that at 1920x1200 DX10 High, since that is basically two GTX 260 in SLI, or not even two 8800GTX desktop in SLI gets 47-50 fps average at 1920x1200. As far as I know an 8800GTX desktop kicks the crap out of a 9800m GT :)
