Uhm... how naive can you get.... once you put it on the internet you can count on it it's going to get read and spread..Quote:
We signed an nda for this - if you leak we will get sued
Don't wave with the cookie jar unless you're willing to share... :nono:
I wouldn't say rattled... Sampsa confirmed 06 will still belong to the 8800Ultras, which means no one is going to claim them all with their setup.Quote:

heat is the limiting factor on these cards clocks. I think 500mhz is being very agressive, but it looks like 1ghz core clocks may be possible on water... meaning ~250mhz OC or so, which imo is huge.Quote:

As for obtaining the same performance, no one not under NDA knows currently, as we have no idea how gaming performance scales with clock speed with these cards.Quote:

Thanks for the link.Quote:

In heavy/intensive tasks that is the future of gaming and the 2900XT can take the lead. Can also take the lead in DX_10.
Yeah who knows what dx9 numbers will be like, the real deal will be when dx10 comes.
When games come out with the effects from 3dmark?... You did know games have come out using similar/the same shaders, right? Far Cry used shaders found in GT3 and GT4 of 3dmark03, as anyone who had a 9800pro/xt when cat 3.8 came out will remember from the block shadows indoors on far cry. F.e.a.r. uses a lot of the shaders found in 05's GT1, and oblivion uses a lot of shaders found in 03, 05, and 06.Quote:

As for the future...we'll see, but I know I wouldn't buy a card based upon the assumption of power in the future when currently it loses. You could be right, but I'm not holding my breath on that happening at all. We'll see when the time comes, that much is for sure, but for now I really wouldn't hold your breath.
yep in FAR CRY allk reviews say its not good ( driver issue??) but i also see good performence in some games like FEAR& PREYQuote:

if you conect 2x6 pin to the 8 pin one, what do you plug to the 6 pin one ? or are there PSUs with 4 6 pin conectors ?
yes the tagan 1100 has 4 x 6 pin pcie connectors so in theory you could if you had 2 of these cards in crossfire use 2 x 6 pin pcie cables into an adaptot to plug into the 8 pin pcie power input on the card and then use a 4 pin molex plugged into an 6 pin pcie adapter and put that into the 6 pin pcie connector, god that was confusing
