NVIDIA GeForce 7800 GT: Rounding Out The High End

Star Wars: Knights of the old Republic 2 Performance
With KOTOR 2, you won't see much of an increase in framerates because the game is very CPU-limited. This is understandable as it's an RPG, yet provides involving gameplay nonetheless. We don't have the ability to run the game at any resolution above 1600x1200, making the GPU even less of a factor.
As we found in the G70 article, the 6800 Ultra SLI didn't improve the framerate at all from the single 6800U. It appears that this is one case in which a single 7800 GT would be better, but the game plays fine on a single 6800 Ultra. At 1600x1200 without AA, the 6800U had a framerate of 58.4, and the 7800 GT was at 69.3; about a 19% increase. With AA enabled at the same resolution, there was only about a 9% increase from the 6800U to the 7800 GT.

The Doom 3 benchmarks seem to be 100% absent. The page is there, text is there, but no graphs.neogodless - Thursday, August 11, 2005 - link
... the rest of the article. Besides the missing pages, the bottom half of the second page seems to be cut off.But... we know how frustrating being on that end of these problems can be. I wish you the best of luck in getting it fixed while still having a full head of hair (assuming you started with one!)

Has there recently been a problem with article posting? Ive noticed it more and more on anandtech; are these pages uploaded one at a time?nastyemu25 - Thursday, August 11, 2005 - link
more importantly, if they're uploaded one at a time then the why don't the work from the last page to the first.JarredWalton - Friday, August 12, 2005 - link
The document posting engine isn't designed to be posted last to first. Normally, articles are uploaded and then activated. Some times a mistake is made where an article goes "live" before all the pages have been uploaded.
