considering the overclock I was expecting more performance. And the card needs to drop to the Low $500's.

Meh for how much its cost im just gonna upgrade to one of the new motherboards and get my self a second 7800gtx , 7800gtx in sli beats a single 512 any way and theres no huge impact 256 vs 512.

 

[Chesebert]

lol..total domination

The results are quite impressive, but I have a question about the testing/results.

I have looked through the whole article and don't see anything about the size of the X1800. Did they test the 256 or 512 version?! I would assume they tested the 512 otherwise the results would obviously favor the 7800 GTX.
The reason I ask is because the 7800 (256) results are so similar to the X1800 (???)

Can anyone verify the tests were run with a 512Meg X1800 XT?

Dropping $150 is hoping for too much.

7800GT SLI > 7800 GTX 512MB

It was obvious but ...

 

[Pabster]

nVidia stomps the competition ... again.

Look at those BF2 numbers...

OP, please edit your title to reflect that Derek Wilson wrote the article, not Anand himself.

LOL, the 7800 GTX 512 demolishes the X1800XT. For relatively the same price at launch. And it's available.

He means Anandtech, not Anand himself.

from the conclusion: "Hopefully the introduction of this [super-expensive] part will further serve to push down prices on the rest of the cards out there this holiday season."

$650! [$700!!!]:Q

not even if it comes out in AGP
:thumbsdown:
[for me . . . too rich . . . but of course, i'd like it]

The performance picture changes slightly if we focus on the performance of a single GeForce 7800 GTX 512MB versus its ATI built rival, the Radeon X1800 XT. In the single card tests, the GeForce 7800 GTX 512MB outperformed the X1800 XT in 10 of 13 tests, occasionally by very large margins. With anti-aliasing and anisotropic filtering enabled, a single GeForce 7800 GTX 512 took the top spot in 6 of 12 tests, essentially tied in 3 tests, and lost to the Radeon X1800 XT in only 3. It's clear, based on these numbers, the new GeForce 7800 GTX 512MB is an best of class performer.

I wish they priced it at $599 and gave the 256MB GTX & GT a $50 price-cuts.

That sucking sound is ATI's margins going down the toilet.

The card is available and priced right near ATIs offerings and performs better.
Pretty impressive how Nvidia can release a card that is faster than ATI's when ATI has had 6 months to up the bar.

Why?

 

[lifeguard1999]

Rollo is vindicated. ATI took the crown from NVidia, and now NVidia has taken it back. Competition is great. Now let the prices drop.

 

[bjc112]

Looks awesome!

If I can have a few filter through retail channels, I will return my x1800xt and get this!

Should only be about $50-$100 difference!

 

[jEnus]

In the article, he mentions use of the dice demo, does anyone know where I can find this?

 

[Sentry2]

Now I don't feel so bad for paying $699 a card on Saturday Hopefully Monarch ships them out today. I still think there will be new drivers coming out today or tomorrow that will at least help the GTX 512MB SLI numbers such as 3D mark 05. Hardly even 13k in 05' with an FX-57...I don't think so.

There's only one flavor of the X1800XT....512Meg.

256 does not exist.

vindicated how? everyone knew the "ultra" would beat the x1800xt.
[duh]

most of his other predictions re: ATI turn out to be FUD
:thumbsdown:

. . . and i guess it's ati's turn for an x1800xtPE . . . 1GB vRAM . . . $699 . . . ?

7800GTX 512 SLI and solo, 7800GTX 256 SLI and solo, 7800GT SLI and solo, X850XT PE CrossFire and solo, X1800XL. Curious as to why we aren't seeing it compared to CrossFire more. FEAR, COD2, Quake 4, Doom 3, FarCry, HL2, 3DMark2K5.

Find me a Crossfire setup for the x1800 cards and I'll happily do a comparison for you!
