NV40 reviews are up! (And a little video)

Ok, now there's a couple of more reviewers who's jumped the gun

And this time it's full-blown previews with benchmarks.
You can find FiringSquads previewhere..

It's a bit slow (and seems to be getting slower), but that's to be expected...

The other review is from HardwareAnalysis and can be found here.
But there seems to be something wrong with it, since the 6800Ultra gains when going from 1024 to 1152 (resolutions). Hopefully they've just changed the numbers in those tests.

Some of it feels like it has come straight from nvidias pr, but some of it is ok. You be your own judge.


And last, but not least, I have a little "gift" to you from DemoCoder from B3D. He attended Nvidias launch-party, and made a demo of the NV40 running UnrealEngine 3.0
I've mirrored it here

I have no idea about bandwidth limitations on that account, so get it whilst it's fresh. (And mirror it if you have some server space)

Enjoy

(Also posted this as a reply to Julio's post, but felt it worthy of a new thread)

That unreal tournament demo is awesome.

Yeah... Thought it was well worth the download

Here is Beyond3d's preview, but be warned, this one is large! (DaveB said it was 25+ pages)
