Also what's up with the integrated physics checkbox? The G80 has quantum physics and both are vaporware anyway.

For G80 it is vaporware, I've actually seen demos for ATI's implementation and they are pushing it hard. NVIDIA has not said anything about physics for the last 6 months.

For those expecting non-NDA numbers tomorrow, you're going to be upset. You can blame VR-Zone.

What did vr-zone do? Why would it keep numbers from coming out on the launch day?

I thought it was just a rumor that NDA would expire tomorrow

[QUOTE=deathman20;2163687]What I think they mean by that is ATI cards can use crossfire on any board. nVidia can't since they require there board unless you get modified drivers.

Not any board, just any crossfire enabled board such as intel or ATI based chipsets. We can't run ATI based crossfire on SLI chipsets. Same is true for Nvidia based cards needing an nforce based chipset to run SLI, you couldn't run SLI on an intel or ATI based chipset.

As I said, blame VR-Zone for spreading that crap rumor of the date moving. The launch date has been set for well over a month and hasn't changed.

But we saw how well that worked for the 8600 GT and GTS. They have great 3D Mark 06 scores but are terrible in games.

I'm not going to say anything about how it performs, I'm simply saying that 3DMark can paint a shady picture. ;)

Personally i hope the hd2900xt is faster then the 8800gtx, just to make nvidia release (yet again) that magic driver they keep for when ati launches their new cards... now everyone has cards to play crysis on their 1080p screens...

la vie serait belle!

La vie SERA belle !:p:

The smoke demo and cascade demo both show off the gpu doing the physics... Any 8 series owner can run them now.

It's not vaporware.

i think 8800Ultra will perform about the same as R600XTX , as b4 ... R600 might win on some apps, and Ultra might win on some apps ... i dont think there will be a huge gap between the 2

Does anyone know, if there's supposed to be software voltage control on hd series cards?
