I'm curious on that one as well. I'm betting that page is the volt modded extreme cooling page.Quote:

100%++ Overclock is my guess
It's "UnReal Overclocking". Just click on the drop menu.Quote:

I know, I saw it. I'm still guessing that's the volt modded extreme cooling section of the review, as vr-zone generally has one for their reviews.
Did you find this out from R300King! at Rage3D? He said it there yesterday. :D http://www.rage3d.com/board/showpost...&postcount=701Quote:

Well, can't wait until the 14th. Hope VR-Zone opens up shop early tho. :p:
VR-Zone's last figures were way off, so I'm not counting on them this time when I know the guys who have the cards. I'll wait for what they dish out 12/13 May.
According to [Kinc]: Unknown VGA scores around 12k 3DM06, stock clocks on everything, pre-release with a ES QX6700 on "I think (?)" a Striker MB. :slobber:
Now I'll take you to a few months back when the G80GTX was released.
Back in mid-November when I first got the XFX GeForce 8800 GTX (575/1350/1800) nV ForceWare 96.94, eVGA 680i SLI MB with the P21 BIOS, the QX6700 at stock with Corsair Dominator XMS2 (PC2-6400 CL3) @ DDR2-800MHz 3-3-3-8 2T -- it hit a score of 11651 in 3DM06 @ default res.
Which makes "unknown VGA beast" look VERY promising and even yet, pre-release. ;) :D :eek:
Keep your pants and nickers on boys 'n girls .. heheehee :D :banana:
Anyone seen this? HD2900XT 512MB for $449, pre-order obviously: http://www.amazon.com/ATI-Radeon-290...8553792&sr=8-1

I'm still hoping that R600 have software voltage adjustment as R520/R580.Quote:

No. If the 2900XT is on par with a 8800GTX, 2x 8800GTS's can beat a 8800GTX.Quote:

$299-$349 - HD 2900 XL (June-July)
$399-$449 - HD 2900 XT (Two Versions: 512MB GDDR3, 1GB GDDR4) (May)
$549-$599 - HD 2900 XTX (Might be more) (May-June)
Approximate...
Perkam
so there really is a 1GB version being released on in May as well? I thought the 1GB GDDR4 was exclusive to the XTX line and an XT version with 1GB of ram would not surface to reality. I guess another 6 days will tell.
i prefer wait for R650, R600 is great but my R580 Too ;)
The 1Gig version can be considered nearly vapor ware at this point because we won't see it in our systems unless you go through like dell, hp, etc. As well the 1Gig version which we thought was XTX was renamed to just a XT version currently. If there really isn't going to be a refresh of this product that means when the 65nm core R650 comes out they can still use the XTX name still for that core with the higher clocks.Quote:

Totally forget about the idea of an XTX for now.
It's no where to be seen for us. Maybe in the future, but there's no official confirmation of that yet either.
However the 512MB XT will release soon. And it scales very well, gaming performance/quality is supposed to be better than number applications.
Here's one to buy, pre-order for 357 Euros: http://www.icomputers.nl//articledetail.aspx?A_ID=10878
Quality. ;)
You know what I'm thinking, what might be a crucial point in deciding between the 8800GTS and 2900XT.
PSU.
I have a Corsair 520w, good enough for 8800GTS in SLI, but I don't think it is good enough for the 2900XT in Crossfire.
Buy a 8800GTS now, if Crysis comes, I can upgrade to SLI, but if I buy the 2900XT, then I'm stuck. If performance is close to each other, I'm buying a 8800GTS.
Makes sense doesn't it? 225w for the XT is a no no, too high, single card yes, but Crossfire....phew.
You might already have an issue if you OC CPU etc too. Check how many Amps your PSU can do on the 12V rail(s).Quote:

We're talking about $350-450 graphics cards and you're worried about a $125 PSU upgrade?
Then he could just aswell buy a 8800GTX instead :p:Quote:

If you can buy the competitors product without spending the $125 and not losing $125 in performance, then why spend the extra $125 in the first place? The extra $125 is enough to buy the GTX over the XT or GTS.Quote:
