    AMD: You'll be pleasantly surprised

    I would say we don't make money by delivering slow hardware. Our expectation is that we'll give you a really pleasant surprise this year when we ship our DX11 hardware

    It has begun!

    I hope we don't see a 2900 series-esque episode.

    AMD has been running a very nice show lately though, keep it up!

    Would be nice to see. The 9XXX cards beat Nvidia a beating back then for quite awhile. I still have a 9700 Pro churning away in my brothers PC, complete with 80mm fan rigged to it as the stock fan failed years ago.

    Most problems related with computers ly between the chair and the screen

    Nvidia drivers are, according with my experience, better than ATI's, but I don't really care about that, I just want to play some games...
    Are we there yet?

    Never have any problem with Nvidia or ATI on hardware or software wise. Bang for the bucks still the main point for me.

    True....very true

    Joking aside ATi and nVidia have the same driver issue at the moment with Windows 7 RC (or the issue COULD be Windows 7 RC itself?) the issue I am on about is.... ASPECT RATIO SCALING.

    Works perfectly in Vista and XP, but is flakey in Windows 7 for both nVidia and ATi users.

    Back on topic, nVidia will have the performance crown for DirectX11, however ATi MIGHT be first out the door with DirectX11 products, as I sense nVidia will follow in November, yet ATi will lead the way in Late September.

    (Anyone who thinks nVidia will not have the fastest single GPU solution only has to read about DirectX compute and other computational functions of DirectX11....and then realise that the current crop of nVidia hardware already does this.....and VERY well)

    Uh, that's just rumours... Nvidia will be late for sure, unless they are secretly planning the release, which I doubt. ATI even demonstrated their cards already.
    And you have no idea about ATI chip performance and Nvidia chip performance, how can you compare them... Best not make such assumptions or people will put your words in your signature now and back into your mouth after the release if you are wrong.

    Sure, Nvidia will probably hold the fastest single-gpu solution once more. By looking at die size (rumors) that should be quite obvious otherwise Nvidia really has failed. But AMD will be performance leader with their X2 and have best bang for buck at most price segments (or at least be the once cashing in with their smaller die strategy).

    Indeed, they talked big with the R600, but that was only after being backed into a corner from 8800GTX. I have high hopes, and if it delivers only way most could be massively disappointed is if this is a dual gpu solution, that needs the extra gpu to compete or surpass.

    Crossfire scaling is generally good, I wouldn't mind a dual gpu solution if the performance and price are right. EG gt300 compared to 5870x2
