A real review is up at FiringSquad. Gives a slightly different picture then what the other numbers show

Insomniak, B3D's forums may be an ATi haven ATM, but I don't think you can call their staff or their reviews biased.

That is a joke, right? How many times did Wavey go off on his little PR trip about the huge wave of PS 2.0 games? What percentage of B3D's benches for the last gen were PS 2.0 limited? I'm sure that they are working hard right now taking what they know about the R420 and focusing on any weakness in their NV40 review so they can start to build up the hype. B3D is one of the most biased sites, and with the exception of Rev, I've not seen anything to convince me that any of the people writing for them has ever had the ability to not let their bias slant their writing to a very heavy extent. We know they are very intelligent people and the only conclusion you can make from their absurd stances throughout the years is that they build their reviews around their bias. There is no way everyone(excluding Rev) can be wrong on every important turn in the industry for every generation since Barron and Kristoff merged their sites.

The card is not impressive , is just an improvement over 5950 ,... it might be better than 9800XT proly with a 20 % average (if you even the aa/af) but still it lacks some serious IQ .
R420 will smash this card .

Well, you lose your ass. It is 16x1 or 32x0 (zixel). It is definitely an improvement over 5950 and 9800. It has 4xrgmsaa and is pretty good looking even compared to 9800. R420 supposed to have sparsed 6x aa so it should definitely look better, performance cost of the 6x sparsed aa is as of now unknown. One better feature is the programmable video engine. It can be driver-upgradable to perform different encoding/decoding for new video codec which include wma9 and MPEG4. Oh displacement mapping on farcry looked absolutely cool. Too bad didn't have camcorder to record the presentation.
