This is a monster card but i would still take the XT.
I never really liked my GTX in gaming.

I already have the exact heatsink on my video card!! :p:

Anyone have any guesses as to whether this will fit inside of a Shuttle SN25P?
This is a 2 slot design. Check if you shuttle can handle this as well as space for sata ports cause this card is long!!
Is it longer than a standard 7800GTX by much? There is room for a 2-slot cooler like pictured when I checked (with fan shroud removed like I have already for my 7800GT), but I'm unsure of whether it will be too long, mainly :). Is it known, or just have to wait?
I wonder if the MOSFETs will have the same layout, because if one is to watercool this thing and remove the heatsink then your MOSFETS will be bare unlike the current GTX ref cooler.
I doubt that it is any longer than a 256 Gtx but only time can tell....
wow wonder what eVGA and BFG have up their sleaves :D
$650-700 is my guess. But i think ATI still has a lot of heatroom for an X1800XT PE. I'm stunned by the core clock of 580mhz. I bet this thing gets HOT even on that cooler.
My plans of two X1800XL has been scrapped. Nvidia never cease to amaze.

Cant wait to see this $*!t out already and compare it to the X1800 XT see price drops and get 2x of the best cards. Woooooot!
what's similar program as nibitor for ati's ?
christ, thats a beast and a half! Now i feel like i shouldnt have gotten my XFX 7800GTX haha. Oh well, ill go get another b4 i get one of these i suppose. Awsome to see, none the less :D
Last year I missed out on the highend gpus this year I am not making that mistake twice. Wanted a R9800 Xt 9850 xt but didnt get them. :/ Cant wait for the reviews
This is good news. So nvidia did feel threatened by the x1800XT. Fanboys are no longer defending the 7800GTX, they are waiting for nvidia to save the day with the 512MB version.
They rip off customers, but in the end both are happy. Customers get an uber overclocked card, and nvidia gets the money. They could have just added the faster extra memory and left the OCing to the pros. But of course, a 7800GTX with 512MB of memory at 450MHz wouldn't stand a chance. Had to be 130MHz more.
If the card performs, great. I aint wasting money on overclocked hardware. Chances are, there won't be much headroom for OCing. This launch is awesome though, if they can release them fast enough it might drop the price of the x1800XL even more :).
My guess is, ATI will still hold the WR for 3dmark with the x1800 cards (judging from OCs people have on a 7800GTX now, it won't break 11k).
That is the most retarded post I've read in a long time...not only is it clear from your previous posts that you wouldn't even consider having a different colored card in your system (thus limiting your choice to one manufacturer...silly)....but now you are a sour loser too.... :nono: :fact:Quote:

It's been FIVE months since the release of the GTX, going on SIX. If you remember correctly, video cards launch generally every 6 months, New series in spring with a refresh in the winter. It's moving to winter, and thus it's refresh time....
No customer of the 256mb GTX has the right to be mad either, for the same reason I just mentioned. By your logic, everyone who bought an X800xtpe shoulda been pissed when the x850xtpe came out. Same with people who bought the 9800pro when the xt came out 5 months later.... Learn your history.
As for them upping clockspeeds that much, it's no surprise honestly. ATi *KNEW* this was coming, we all pretty much did. None of us expected this big of a jump, but we all knew it would happen. 580 core is more than we expected, 1730 ram is less, but either way we all knew it'd happen. It's been said since the 2nd delay of the R520 that NVidia would be ready with a refresh by the time it was released afterall.
What makes this even scarier, NVidia still have the G72, which we have no idea what it is. The 7800gs is suppose to be the upper mainstream card, likely at $250 or less.
This is a series launch for the record books, the first, and ONLY time that every part was available ON it's day of launch. It's never happened before...
So, let me get this straight, you're MAD at NVidia for launching a monster card? You should be HAPPY that a company is upping the ante man, I don't care who it is doing it, pushing the envelope is still making things better for us....
As for the x1800xt holding the 03/05 records, there's not a chance at that, as the reason for the scores on the 7800gtx now is it's memory bottleneck...
Couldn't have said it better....think outside the box... :) (wether it's green or red)
i bet this card will score over 11k in stock trim what do you guys thing??

It's probably over 10k that's for sure :DQuote:

add the faster NS ram, the extra ram, and the extra 530 mhz to the ram, and it's just incredible to think of what we can expect from these cards.
I expect one to be in my system before the end of the year.. That's what I expect.
Tim, you glad you listened to me when I told you to wait?
You know........some people actually use their cards for gaming? Bottleneck? Not if you game at 1600x1200 4xAA 16xAF :DQuote:

I always listen to myself Dil...there was no point in getting a GTX for me...I wanted 512mb...and I knew that nVidia would release another card after R520 :)Quote:
