    Frankly I said that I won't say a thing really till I have touched/oc'd/held/carressed/made sweet love to the card before I dictate what is better. It may be a plunge, but we also dont know if 1) how high it will clock with more voltage, 2) how well crossfire is off for improvements between the 2 cards over SLI.... For all you know 2x r520 will cream nvidia's next card because xfire works better, or hell it may suck....

    Frankly, I cant afford either, so I still go ATI as my x800pro's and x800 series are still in my finacial areas.


    If you have a cooling question or concern feel free to contact me.

    At 700$, I dont see many people buying the card right away. Especially if it's of equal or lower performance than the 7800gtx.

    BTW tim, thats again speculation. It could be BS, it could be legit. Lets just wait and find out? Just a month more to go
    I wasn't saying that it was fact, I think I just constructed the sentence wrong...

    It would be good news though...would really rock

    Let's just wait...I hope DFI will get their new NF4 board out around the same time...

    I would hope that , incase ati screws up, Nvidia will just rehash their product right now instead of getting out a faster newer tech. Why? because then Nvidia's market position stays where it is and ATI can strike back. Competition is ALWAYS a good thing. Competition = new technologies and lower prizes
