I mean it could very well beat it at CAD operation, but there is nothing presented that they back the claim with. Which is pretty serious being as these cards purchased by professionals for professional reasons, tend to cost high dollar.
Them simply saying it's "faster" is not quite good enough.
For all we know they could very well be saying it's faster in terms of clock/bandwidth.
Which is similar to staking a claim that a Pentium4 clocks at 3.2ghz stock so it's gotta be better than a x2 @ 2.4ghz.
How much better would this perform on cad software or even gaming (crysis maybe ) compared to a consumer gpu, e.g nVidia gtx 295 or maybe a Ati 4870x2? Just wanted to kno the difference =]
This really is a professional card. Although it may use Dx11, as it becomes the progressive standard, whether it had Dx10 or Dx10.1 or Dx11, bears little consequence on the card as the tool it's intended for.
