    This is the best comment of driver i have read since Nvidia have release the G80 first beta driver.,.. really.. I just take the comment of Nividia send to jurmalist and say they have resolve 450 performances problem in Vista ( and around same with XP, ) since the driver "official" they have release when G80 was out... (Taken on FUD publish by Nvidia and send same days of Tunis ATI by Nvidia to Jurnalist)

    Rumors has it that it has a 5.1 soundchip onboard. Do a Google search for "built-in HDMI and 5.1 surround audio", or go to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radeon_R600 . But I haven't heard anything official about it. It's better to wait for a review on it anyway. For all we know it might overheat during gaming and cause stuttering sound.

    None of those drivers go to the public. They are only for testers.

    For public is only the CD driver and cat 7.5 that will be launched in 10 days.

    thx.

    Heat is not a problem, living in North of Norway and need heating all the time, even in the summer

    Looks likt its time to use water Cooling on the gfx card, and not only on the cpu. And some FAH when it gets really cold

    I'm getting excited about this card. Heading to my local computer center today to see if they have it for a reasonable price.

    Wait for oficial drivers in 10 days to see if crossfire get some boost.

    The GTX > The XT...

    Keep what you have, no questions asked.

    You'd be taking a step backwards in performance, and in image quality. Not a worthy trade-off.

    If the XT preforms much better in Crossfire than GTX's do in SLI it would be worth it. For image quality I wouldn't say its busted yet, but then again I wouldn't hold out for a lot of hope, definitly wait til at least the 7.5's come out.

    It's not the top of line but it's ATI's only offering at this time.

    Also, what's the big deal about IQ? From what I've seen the HD 2900XT has better IQ when AA is used. When AF is used it looks about the same as G80.

    Awesome, with roughly 8 days to spare for the driver update. The cd may come with 8.36 so download 8.37 striaght from ATI website.

    It's 8.37.4.2 the driver you want. There should be a 8.39 also but I am not sure if it's been released yet.

    So, here is my very first benchmark with my new card... I'm *VERY* impressed... I've got MSN open, and internet browsers, and virus scan, and all kinds of other running in the background... Definately was not expecting this with a ty driver either;

    I thought the ATi CC can do it.

    EDIT: I think people also use this to monitor temps.
