I read that too but it doesn't add up very well; the difference between a GTX and a GTS is more like £150-200, not $100-150...are they saying their high-end card is gonna retail at £200 like the GTS? I'll believe it when I see it but if that is the case and it performs like a GTX then you'd have to be insane to choose anything else.

I'll just buy whatever the best card for 200-250 quid is after the upcoming releases and personally I would love to see the R600 provide some semblance of competition to Nvidia's 8800 series since competition is good for consumers.

Why would I love it?

I hope it destroys the GTX.

ITS GOOD FOR US CONSUMERS WHO ARE NOT BLINKERED BY COMPANY LOYALTY.

Don't you know that?

Sheesh :rolleyes: :D
 
Pretty Sure ATI have adopted the "Nvidia Type" cooling fan for this card so atleast it will not be as noisey as the earlier cards, Although It amazies Me they do not make use of the top (for most users) of the card to add a bit more heat dispersant sink, this only needs to be thin and incorporated into that big support
 
Hi there

It arrived at 10:30am this morning, had to sign some NDA forms meaning I cannot disclose to much info.

Initial thoughts are it looks good, its very silent. Having issues at the moment with the alpha/beta drivers and no doubt due to the fact the OS had a NVIDIA card previously installed.

But on noise its quiet, pretty much silent.

is it the OEM model?

Hi there

Nope its a retail, OEM won't be available to end users to purchase.

This is the same size as a GTX card, no bigger so will fit in cases fine. :)

It has a 8-pin and 6-pin PCI-E connectors but you can plug a 6-pin connector into the 8-pin without issues so you won't need to upgrade your PSU's to the new types.
