    Poor benchmarks on NP5792?

    Check out this review at Xotic: http://www.xoticpc.com/sager-np5792-nvidia-8800m-512mb-benchmark-review-a-38.html

    Now this is the 8800GTX monster... why are they struggling to run crysis at medium settings with 4 gigs of ram and 2.4 ghz core 2?

    Also they turned ut3 texture detail down to 3 and were still dipping down into the 30's at non-max res?

    Is it because this is not the penryn and the 5793 with the penryn is far better? I was seriously considering the 5793 but these benches make me wary.

    Not even many desktops can run crysis well. :)

    At 1024x768 and 2xAA it ran well on 9262 except on last level where 2xAA had to be switched off.

    As I mentioned I'm still considering what to purchase. Maybe its the older drivers since this review is 6 months old.

    my 5793 got 35-40 fps with all max setting under 1280x1024, 2xAA
    the new patches smooth the game a lot. where can you get a 5792 anyway?

    Come on man. We are talking Medium here not high and certainly not very high. A decent core2 8800 desktop can chew up Crysis medium and spit it out.

    Sorry if you thought was considering the 5792.. I'm considering the 5793 but since there are no benchs with a 2.5 or 2.6 ghz processor (only the extreme 2.8 ghz) I'm looking at this one as reflective at what performance level the 5793 will be at.

    Was it run in xp or vista? Did they say what drivers? Also..6 months ago crysis ran like polished poop. Vista+SP1+Crysis(patched) is much better now.

    1680x1050 All high except shadow/object(medium), I can manage an avg 26.4fps on the Crysis benchmark program. Specs in Sig...the 8800GTX is still a bit more powerful than both of my 8700's.

    Nice skrilla. But actually people are saying 8800 GTX is way more powerful than ur 87 SLi's (I asked about sli in Asus forums cuz of upcoming G70). I think some were saying its 2x more powerful. What do you think?

    Also shadow set to medium is a big thing... the shadow and shaders is what hurt performance a lot but at the same time what impact visual quality a great deal. Ie. shadow and shaders on med looks like crap, on high looks amazing.

    smood as i said i got 35-40 fps with all max setting under 1280x1024, 2xAA. In crysis we have GPU bound, so 2.4Ghz or 2.8Ghz doesn't really affect much.
    a single 8800m GTX is about 130% of 8700m GT SLI

    Only 30% faster you think? Or do you mean 130% faster?

    Its significant but certainly not as much as MICHAELS and other people are claiming.

    Most of that 30% come in at the high resolutions too. I always keep shaders on high. Shadows at med don't look any different to me. Turning off Depth of Field helps alot too...for me anyway. :)

    If you don't want to take the plunge, why don't you just wait a few months and see what happens with the 9800.

    Sorry I was mistaken. Shadows at med looks alright, its shadows and shaders at low that looks like crap.

    We`ve been through this.
    The drivers XoticPC used at that time were horrible and the games were UNpatched.
    The scores posted there are just A BIT better than my 7950GTX`s.

    I kinda likes Big Brother more. Especially the chicks showering scenes.
    Back on topic, my #20 post shows a lot of 579x users playing Crysis.
    With the latest patch and drivers 175.x and up, it should be much better, a few fps more that is.

    Thanks for that. 1 guy ran it on very high getting 20 fps. His screens are amazing. Basically you can have 30-40 frames on high at 1200x800 which is not bad. I would prefer 40 avg but hey its not a desktop.

    Exactly.
    Dude, I`ve finished Crysis and UT3 all max details(high, respectively 5/5) at 4:1 pixel ratio(960x600) and the games looked awesome and played amazingly (~30 fps, 60 fps respectively :D)
    The 8800M GTX can do twice as good...

    I though so too initially.
    But it`s a 4:1 pixel ratio,so it`s neither distorted or extremely weird looking.
    And at that res,using AA clears up jaggies easy and voila,good image +high setting +awesome playability :)

    Interesting. Maybe then I should just stick with the Asus system and turn down the res. But I'm guessing the 8700 will still struggle on high :)
