3DMark03:
(dual) 1600x1200 with 8xAA* & 8xAF: 3,105
(single) 1600x1200 with 8xAA* & 8xAF: 1,708

(dual) 1600x1200 with 8xAF: 8,538
(single) 1600x1200 with 8xAF: 5,992

* I don't know if nVidia has enabled 4xMS/2xSS yet and they don't specify which version, so I guess you're supposed to assume it's 4xSS/2xMS.

It's neat and sure is fast, but I'm not sure it's worth $5000+. I would also think that it' going to show less of an increase as you lower in resolution or eye candy.

oh boy I thought for a moment you meant Motorola 6800s (Showing my age).

[Kurt]

You mean 68000

[Chrono_Wanderer]

lol 68000 running 3dmark03

OK, 3dmark03 is not very CPU dependent, but ya, 68000

[KeiFront]

5000$ for a better 3dmark score is a big waste of money, are there already any normal gamebenchmark results released?

[High_Jumbllama]

I'd sooner use water cooling. It would be much more economical. Could the two cards run separately as well? Mmmm, dual PCI-E parhelia type cards.

OMG you're right! My Vectrex had a 6809!

I was born just before the 6800, can't say I remember much about that...

[Umfriend]

Hehe, I remember that Vectrex, that was one hell of a machine. Could not afford it, but there was this shop where you could play it for 1 Dutch guilder at the time.

I was actually discussing this machine a few months back with a friend of mine with whom I used to play on it (we did anything for a guilder and then ran off to the shop) but could not remember then name anymore.....
