The GTX has gone through speed improvements under windows and a lot of bugs fixes and I'm not willing to go through that again with the R600 when they've had penty of time to fix any driver problems. I expected a lot more from AMD/ATI. the thing I'm most disappointed in is the power consumption: is uses more than a GTX so it should be at the same level as the GTX and not the GTS.


edit: my hope for AMD now is that they can get crossfire to work in any dual 16x slot board.
How many months for Nvidia to fix all bugs and brought all those features? A lots.
Is 8 series bug free actually? No (try Call of Juarez).
I can say nothing for Linux i don't use it.
I agree for being late and bring immature drivers.
For power comsumption i personnaly don't care so much and sometimes i ask myself why everybody speaks about it. Everybody overclocks (here) their stuff and i don't think it's for improving power comsumption.
