BTW, Jason, much earlier reports of the R520 (think August) were saying that the XT and the PRO would have 512MB and the XL would not...which may still come true.

What happend to the X1800 Pro anyway?Quote:

i swear it was the 15th when they first accepted preorders, well expect it a week early from other uk etailers as ocuk always say they are the first but never are.
it's "2005-12-01" in Sweden it seems, at least at komplett.se... hurrah... (on a side note, X1800XL is 12/01/05 too)...
the x1800xt 512 is 7.4% more expensive than the 256 version. the 512 is
$726,40 USD and 256 is $676,26 USD, that seems to equate to almost exactly $50 USD extra for some 256MB extra 1.26ns DDR3, at least in Sweden.
however, isn't this WAYYYYYY ot?
It is but it's due to lack of Ultra rumours that we once again must go offtopic :DQuote:

So I guess that cannot be true right;if i follow your logic.....

They have been working on that GPU for like 3 years.... FYIQuote:

The x1800 matches the 7800gtx performance on a smaller die, and allows some nice new features such as hdr with aa. The x1300 is absolutely incredible for an entry level product, and the x1600 is a very solid if unspectacular mid range product. From top to bottom Ati's range looks stronger - but avaliability of the midrange and highest end parts is still not here. In addition pricing has yet to settle as it has with the 7800's. Also Nvidia could pull a 7600 and 7200 out at anytime, which would then offer some competition top to bottom. The 7800 is more of a patch up (much like the x800 was) rather than a true evolution, but the x1800 puts a lot of new features such as a new memory controller into practice that could benefit ati in the long term, and performance could increase as these features are used, wheras the 7800 as a souped up 6800 is likely near is peak performance. Whether the 7800 ultra outperforms the x1800xt or not is immiterial until Nvidia can release products to compete with the x1600 and x1300
why put out a card to match up with the X1600?
the 12 pipe 6800 is cheaper and faster then the reviewed X1600s.
and btw those cards arent even buyable yet.
NVidia, for now, is going to release the 6800gs to smack around the x1600xt(which is FINE, considering the differences between the 7 series and 6 series is miniscule, and the few that are there a midrange card would be to slow to use anyway!).
The inq tells us the card performs on-par with a 6800gt.
give it a dual link tmds and all would be fine, but otherwise would this not have the same 60hz at 1600x1200 limitation either alone or in sli as the crossfire cards? As far as Im aware only the 7800's have a dual link connection (other than the uber expensive 6800 ultra mac edition).
LOL Jason, you answered your own question :p:Quote:
where do you get that nvidia needs a 7800ultra to compete with the x1800xt??
I guess the ultra competes with the XT cos their both non-existant cards :D

Well I think there won´t be 512mb 7800GT too, or at least soon. One of the main differences in their PCB is that GTX´s have 16 spaces for soldering RAM (only 8 used); and GT´s only have 8 "spaces" all used. If NV wanted a 512mb GT they would have to use another PCB.Quote:

For me the XT and CrossFire just don´t exist, they are only nice "proyect" like PPUs
I dream about CPUs not GPUs... except coding nights but that is a different matter all together...Quote:

The XL will shine once the new oc tool is released (dont now if you already have it Juan :confused: )... and some third party cooling is available for the xl.

Well I was justing talking about a VGA for gaming (for what they are made for). But for some sweet 3DMark scores, sure the XL and the XT would do the job.Quote:

Erm yes it does. In every DX game it wins, and is as usual far better with AA/AF.Quote:

even my 7800 gt doesnt drop much fps if aa and af is enabled - but a resolution of 1600x1200 is too much for my lady ;]. the 7800gtx is at high resolutions superiour by far.
