Is it not meant to be 4xAA with no performance hit?. Well one of the features anyway. If that's true then it's an amazing feature.
Im sure there will be ways to implement that on current cards! Like apparently there is an hd2600xt(2650 maybe) coming thats dx10.1 but I doubt that would handle free 4xAA if the current specs were anything to go with

Ditto I played mine on 1440x900 on my 2407WFP all at high settings and it ran 100% cooshdy... and MOHA runs at 1440x900 high settings. As much as its great it runs them, I wish it wouldn't so I can justify a reason to get one of these! lol. Im tempted to give it a shot lol.
to be fair I think you can safely say that the x1800's and x1900's aint done too badly so far 
! There are loads of people still running these cards and I would guess it will be a while before some will upgrade them! They were definately some of the best released cards for a long time! I will say one thing though I was pretty annoyed the x1800xt was replaced just after I bought one 
lol

As I said in another thread I think these cards are simply HD2900XT's that couldn't clock well or weren't 100% stable at stock clocks (ie speed binning).
Just like the tri core phenoms this is a good move by ATI / AMD as it means that they can get rid of 'defective' stock whilst we the customers get a good bargin.

They did exactly the same thing with some X850 towards the end. OcUK had a load of HIS X850 that had been restricted via the BIOS to 12 pipes and slower clocks. A simple BIOS update restored them to fully fledged X850 and they overclocked liked the dogs ......
Ditto with Nvidia 7900 GTO's
Look like bargains to me but then Nvidia have been selling a bargain since the start called the GTS 320!

Yeah but only releasing the memory leak fix about one week ago was a bad move IMO. 11 days from now and the 8800GTS 320mb might get pushed to the back of the pile because the 2900 pro's and so shortly after the amazing fix
. I think it's a shame for Nvidia users with this card . Nvidia should have had this fixed a long time ago.

To be honest I never had any issues with the games I played/
Stalker,Bioshock,SC,Wow,Eve,Loki,2142,Quake Wars Demo,GRAW2,Vegas .....
Thats running 1920x1200 where possible unless its hardcoded to 1600x1200. Always fluid and no stuttering apart from the standard stuff related to peeeling of the harddisk which is common with all graphics cards.
Sweet. I never knew that all of these titles were playable at high resolutions. I thought a lot of them needed to be Alt+Tabbed frequently because of the memory leak and that just seemed a hassle to me.
I'm glad it's not as bad as I've been led to believe

The only difference I found between the GTX and the GTS 320 was the ability to use higher levels of AA. Obviously in some games like GRAW2 you where limited to medium textures but again in all honesty there was minimal difference going from high to medium.
All the games I play are under Vista too.
My GTS is overclocked to 630/950 just for the record so it will be a tad faster than standard but they are all good clockers.
Here's a link to my 3D Mark 06 score under vista - 11236
