I love this forum. Thanks for understanding that I can't say more. Unlike Mwave I value my relationship with my suppliers.

I can't post pics but that card and box sure do look like something I have seen recently. ;)

God I wish I could post benchmarks.....my best SLI 3dmark05 bench with 256MB 7800s was 13800 (520/1350...gaming stable)....these cards beat that with no OC. Monday should be interesting for NV fans. You guys are going to love them. BTW wait till Monday to buy as that price is crazy....they are expensive but not supposed to be THAT $$.

BTW With the drivers from the CD the cards ran slower than the above score. There was a glich with the memory clocks. (It was setting them to 1200 for some reason) NV sent me a new driver that fixed it. My guess is that they will release it on Monday.

On the ATI side....I hope to have something to post about soon. I have to double check but I believe there is no NDA on it either.

EDIT: The 512MB cards are very limited production. That much I can say for sure. I was told hundreds available instead of thousands. They expect to have enough for demand but don't expect high demend due to cost.

AAC, perhaps you may answer one small tiny question of mine then.. What's the powersupply requirements of the card?

Considering I'm on an Antec Truepower 430Watt, I know I'll have to buy a new one, and therefore I kind of need to know what I'll need to get by.

I'm sure NDA doesn't hold you from that info.

I seem to remember the box says 550 WATT. (It is at work and I am at home.) I was running a 480 Watt with two 256MB cards with no issues. Having trouble in the same system with the 512MB cards. I have a 620 Watt being overnighted to confirm that the issue is related to the PSU. (I am almost 100% sure the 480 just can't keep up.) So all I can say is buy big these suckers like the juice.

Interesting, news minus NDA. Faster XT card perhaps, or something about Master cards ;)

Not about a new card.....Crossfire is just getting close. I hope to have a new toy any day. (Like I said I don't believe there is NDA on it anymore so I can post pics and benches but I will have to make sure first.) Now that NV has shown what they have I am very interested to see how X1800 CF compares. CF seems more to show better gains than SLI. At least X850 did. If that holds true then X1800 CF should be good.

BTW The guy on NVnews is having the same issue with his 512MB 7800 that I did. Except I doubt NV will send him a driver.....but you never know.

PCP&C 510 is a bit too rich for my blood... I know the need for a good psu, but $200 for a psu is just a bit on the high side. I can afford it, I just feel that's *too much*.

If an OCZ 520 Watt powerstream will handle the job though, then I'll just order one of those. $181 for the 600 watt just doesn't seem worth it for a 80watt difference, compared to $104 I can get the 520watt for.

Either way, thanks for answering my question AAC, it's greatly appreciated.

For SLI...520 might not cut it.....these things draw major power. For single card it should be OK.

I won't be running SLi... I'm not spending $1300 on videocards, I have bills to pay and a woman who'd cut my balls off and go play golf with them. I feel SLi is a waste anyway, If I pay double the money, I was double the performance, and not a percent less.

1 is my limit, since I have to buy a new mobo and the card and the psu.

Yeah saw it too a while ago...nice guesswork, but I'd rather wait a couple more days and see real life result :p: :)

I dont think the 550/1700 will take it over 10K in 3Dmark.

I'd say 9700 is more like it at stock with a normal CPU...FX-57 at 3Ghz +....i'd say it will pass 10k.... :)

It will definitely pass 10K with a decent CPU.
