Benchmarks

I recently ordered an sapphire 4850 and decided I would do a few benchmarks and post the results.
The cards I'll be comparing are, a diamond 3870, a xfx 8800gts, oc'd xfx 8800gts, and a sapphire 4850. (I can also get an 8800gs if any one wants the results of that.
The games will be crysis (high), half life 2, bioshock, and portal.
The system in my sig will be used.
tell me what you guys think of this, is this something everyone would like to see happen again?
I'll update soon and have the results on tuesday.
Thanks

id like to see the benchmarks, also would like to see how the hd4870 performs against the 8800gt.
 
Got all my parts, but the radiator for my water cooler is pretty crappy so I ordered a new one so it will take a bit longer.
But I'll post em as quickly as I can.
 
sorry for the wait I started on em just a little bit ago and I'll post the results soon.
 
Are those just what you noticed when in a game? You should use tests that are the same both times, such as benchmarks or using the game benchmarks available in a few games.
 
Ok I ran fraps while playing the games I would like to get something better is there a program you recomend?
 
Many games have built in benchmarks, you can run the CSS stress test, use the 3DMark series benchmarks, etc. Simply having FRAPS running and seeing what the FPS is, isn't a valid way of determining performance since the environment isn't the same twice.
 
Thanks guys I'll try something diffrent.
Your right omega I wasn't seeing anything diffrent when I ran fraps.
