Quite a large performance jump and consumes slightly more power than a x1950xtx.

Half Life 2: Lost Coast loves the GeForce 8800GTX. Here the GeForce 8800GTX is able to show significant performance gains over AMD?s ATI Radeon X1950 XTX?approximately 92%.
Quake 4 shows similar gains as Half Life 2: Lost Coast too, an approximate 92% improvement.
Prey is based on the same game engine as Quake 4. However, Prey shows smaller performance differences between the GeForce 8800GTX and ATI Radeon X1950 XTX, albeit its still 60%.

I just hope R600 will keep the power consumption down on load as well. Maybe AMD can add its Cool and quite technology.

In case nobody noticed, the rumored power consumption specs always turn out to be blown out of proportion compared to the actual power consumption. It's good to see the g80 not using ridiculuusly a lot of power, even my 430 watt psu would easily handle it.

If you want the new Ati card, you'll be waiting more than a month or two. More like 4 or 5.

I agree, but why the dual 6-pin molex plugs if it only draws 4% more juice than an X1950XT?

Latest rumor has R600 coming out the last week of January.

ack! where'd you see that at?
i'm so torn. it's not like there's going to be many games taking advantage of dx10 immediately so i COULD wait.
they better have a damn good card coming out to be 2 months behind nvidia!

Hmm that's a lot higher than the 30% performance increase that was reported earlier...
Sounds like drivers are maturing for this card.
Also sounds like the price to performance will be better than the ATI card too.
