Hooray :clap: ! I've already put my money in... 2x of them pre-ordered from PCsuperstore.com for SLI as of Friday :D. Can't wait... this looks better and better every second :).Quote:

:confused:
I'm not sure G92 or RV670 will be much of an upgrade for you....they will probably perform slightly better, but the difference in playable settings don't look like they'll be very different, maybe an extra notch of AA, or higher res with lower AA (that's pushing it, lol)...but nothing significant. Power consumption will be lower though :yepp:Quote:

:P
Patience is a virtue.
How long do I have to wait for said "high-end" stuff?
Contradiction in terms....so we won't listen to your assumptions either then ;)Quote:

its better then the gts and 2900xt
nice
24 ROPs most likely, and if not. Then 20.Quote:

those are the same benches from the previous thread that people pretty much scoffed atQuote:

8800GT might be faster than GTS in stuff like 3Dmark06. But it will be slower than the GTS series in "real world".
it is the same, like on other cards ... and looks great by me ...Quote:

I've once did a CPU performance review for an emulator and once I got an unexpected result in one of the games like this too and have no idea why it was showing exact same FPS at 1.8GHz as 2.2GHz altho at 2.8GHz it showed the expected fps increase (Check the graph here). I just think many people are being overcritical about articles today whenever they find one slight mystery mark in the graphs, for me it's not enough to disclude differnet possible reasons behind the unexpected result, in this case it was 2, Ultra being slower than GTX in the first benchmark and GTX underperforming in S.C.C.T and being slower than 8800GT even. But otherwise the graphs looks pretty reasonable when looking at the FPS curve figure between the cards and comparing the graphs from the different games.Quote:

In shader heavy games I think 8800GT may even get quite close to 8800GTX performance due to the noticable shader clock advantage (1.5GHz GT vs 1.35GHz GTX). Saying it will be slower in "real world" tests against a 8800GTS 320/640MB is an understatement for this card. :)Quote:

It prolly won't be out sometimes until Q1 2008, at least many seems to agree with it. Don't expect a new highend series this year at least.Quote:

We all know this is true b/c Nvidia does not release anything without running it by you 1st :rofl:Quote:

No, but because nVidia focused on shaders with 8800GT. And current games and such need more raw power than shaders. And the raw power is what GTS got. Its like the 2900XT vs 8800 series. 3Dmark06 2900XT wins, real games it usually loses.Quote:

I would be surprised if they have gone back to 16. But that would also just strengthen my view in the previous post. But lets see with retail. Everest also need to fix those wrong texel fillrate numbers.Quote:

I sure hope so. My X850XT needs to be retired to my G/F rig. I need a new card. But I really want to see hoe the 299$ GDDR4 RV670 card will perform.
