I am surprised that no one has posted this yet or I am mistaken? The article is from Friday.

I wouldnt read much into those results from whats been said by certain groups.

a bit dissapoining if accurate. Have they added SM3.0 though?

If true R520 is Ati's NV30.No doubt.

Hardware Analysis Benchmarks

By now everyone should have seen the benchmarks scores of the R520 over at Hardware Analysis. The article has certainly stirred up a lot of controversy over many different issues. I've discussed the article with an ATI rep whom has told me the following:

* Sander’s benchmarks do not reflect ATI R520 hardware, nor do they reflect the performance of products currently being evaluated by partners.
* The real performance of R520 clearly dominates the fastest competitive hardware
* Sander never tested a board
* Sander used ‘custom benchmarks’ so he’d have an excuse later for his mistakes (his numbers fall far outside the range of what is reasonable for those games in any custom benchmark)

The last two points are moot as the article states the fact though we have no idea about the timedemos used. Clearly ATI believes in their products performance and states the opposite of what the article suggested. All this of course will be cleared when actual product reviews come out.

For now enjoy the soap opera that makes this industry so interesting. DH also has posted some more information on the matter.

Wow, what a shitty thing for this website to do. I'll wait for benchmarks from people who don't have a vendetta. Thanks.

I used to know Sander from hardware central years and years ago, i wouldnt have picked him to pull such a stunt.

So the site made up bechmarks completely?

Yeah, this is pretty weak IMO. The first paragraph to me basically states that they weren't one of the chosen to review this new ATI release, so we are going to just do what we want and screw them.

It really seems that they have some kind of "pissing match" going on. It is pretty evident that they didn't do the benchmarking as they loosley talk about the hardware they supposedly used for the test beds.

I think at this point it would be to the benefit of everyone to wait for benchmarks from the "partners" that actually signed the NDA and will release their benches once the NDA has been lifted later this month.

IMO, of course.

ATI's NV30?

Let's wait for more benchmarks - I personally wouldn't be surprised.

Uh....most people don't put too much stock in these...
