Didn't call it fake. I stated that the article says the IQ is questionable on the HD 2900XT in that review. They have screenshots to show it, and gave the win to the 8800 anyway. I didn't call them out on it, legitreviews did. Infact, in the conclusion they specifically say they'd like an explanation from AMD or NVidia on what happened with the HD 2900's IQ.Originally Posted by mascaras
Oh, I realize that's how it's "suppose" to be. In reality though, in the high-end, it's one companies top-tier against the others. People compared the x1800 against the 7800GTX 512mb even though the price difference was huge, no?we already know you like 8800GTX and 8800GTX its better then X2900
you didnt realise yet that x2900 compete with 8800GTS 640mb not with 8800GTX???
Sapphire X2900XT in portugal = 375 euros
8800GTS 640mb in portgal = 399 euros
8800GTX in portugal = 550 euros
....
The price difference isn't nearly as large here... $100 difference on newegg between the cheapest HD 2900XT and 8800GTX.
Get this though, there's an $80 difference between the cheapest HD 2900xt and 8800GTS 640mb on newegg at the same time. $100 difference if you count the $20 MIR.
So, that makes the price gap identical from the 8800GTS 640 to the HD 2900XT, and going from the HD 2900XT to the 8800GTX...
Honestly though, I'm hoping AMD can get the R650 out the gates, and quick. With them not having the mid-range ready for atleast another month, and them really not being a clear decisive winner over the 8800GTS 640, they're going to be in a rather sizable amount of trouble if they don't pull a rabbit out of their hat quick. Even driverheaven said flat out that they "Cannot recommend this card.".
