mCARTNEY... we will see what u say when they release benchmarks of the XTX... Im sure its not going to be more than 15% better than GTX depending from clock speeds... but thats still means it beats the GTX although price/performance will not be the best... thats what u expect from the highest end anyways...

Think about it, you didn't think Nvidia saw ATI with the spanking new 512mb RADEON X1800? Didn't it barely TIE the 256mb 7800 GTX?
What do you think the XTX is going to do for ATI when 1gb is pratically useless? We can't even use 512 let alone 768 or gb.

You're swaying like a typical consumer who thinks higher ram = better FPS, it actually doesn't brother, sorry.

DT has never been reliable, I swear they were the ones that said the x1800 outright spanked the 256mb 7800 GTX when Anand showed a TIE!

ATI feeds trolls like DT to make susceptible people infected, whom in turn infect others. DT is as worthy/trusty a news source as Star Magazine.

AT= Wall street Journal, = New york times, DT= Star Magazine.

I'm done with trolls who believe the XTX is the answer to the GTX, clockspeed and MHz will win the race, and that's why they didn't even pit a XTX against a GTX because it would still , at this point, LOSE.

Think people, think.

First, most people here are not idiots, and we well know more memory does not automatically mean better performance. However, cards like the x1800xt and higher did benefit from the 512MB of memory, as shown in this article.
Moreover, I've personally monitored my video mem usage, and in certain games like Stalker and Oblivion with maxed settings, even at 1280 resolution all 512MB of my available video mem get used up.

Secondly, if you think AT video reviews are of high quality, then you'd be really surprised when you see a real quality review by sites like behardware, firingsquad, and computerbase. Even xbitlabs has improved their review methods to the point where they are better than AT. And when you compare the x1800xt to the 7-series using something other than shimmerfest settings, the x1800xt not only outperformed the 7800gtx, but was often on par with the ridiculously overpriced 7800gtx-512.

Couldn't have said it better myself. I'd also be curious as to how the drivers have influenced performance since the release of the x1800xt. I wouldn't be surprised if it was a steady increase. When I first got the card after the huge price drop I couldn't use max settings in HL:2 @ 1280x1024. Now, I can max EVERYTHING out in 1600x1200 and maintain 70+ FPS on a bad day... ATI/AMD have proven (at least to me) that they are serious about driver support.

I just don't understand why everyone is a bunch of haters! :| It's stupid to bash one company or another when there is good competition going on, the end result is better products for the consumer, quicker, at lower cost. How do we lose? Let's all stop the know-it-all flame fest and see what this new (and potentially great) technology has to offer!

ATI Radeon HD X2900 XTX final spec
______________________

R600 at 800MHz / 1024MB DDR4 at 2200MHz


The samples are out. ATI already has samples of R600XTX or Radeon HD 2900XTX and XT cards. The new XTX card might be delayed, but some sources also say that ATI might have a handful of these cards for launch.

ATI chanced its launch plans so often that it became ridiculous. The R600 card has two DVI connectors and a PCI Express 16X plug. It comes with two power connectors, one eight pin that we talked about here and one six pin.

The card itself works at 800 MHz core and it can be overclocked even more. It comes with 2200 MHz GDDR4 memory. The 1024 MB memory works with a 512 bit memory interface. The card supports DirectX 10 and Shader model 4.0.

The card is native crossfire ready and you won't need these annoying external cables anymore. Maximal power consumption is listed as 230 W and the current sample is a HDCP ready.

The card supports S-Video out, dual monitor setup and TV IN and Out. The new card as we reported here runs just fine but we are still not sure does it comes in May or later.

If its so ready, release the goddamn card or official benchies already!!!! :|

I have 2 8800 gtx's on my 30" apple. I do not monitor my Memory usage so I am be wrong and I stand corrected.

I do not htink ATI will win this unless they use the "bigger is better" theroy.
