I feel it will be around GTX performance but has more features, better Vista performance and might cost less than a GTX, but obviously thats all upto ATI and what they decide upon release.![]()

I would take that with a grain of salt for sure. As for the fan noise, if he is right, I will be extremely impressed that the card can remain quiet under full load considering it has to dissipate 250w of heat. Moving that kind of heat is going to take a lot of airflow IMO. As for his thoughts on performance, I am hearing that it would be hard to differentiate the R600 and GTX in a Pepsi Challenge.

Cyber-Mav said:sounds like just too little, too late to me. from all the hype and the waiting around i was expecting around 60% more speed over a gtx. looks like ati/amd can now go file for bankruptcy![]()
intel has them hammered on cpus, and nvidia has them hammered on gpu's. wots left for them to do now? come 8900 time its gonna get real interesting.

All testing is done on both XP and Vista. The system is setup to dual boot. As we know performance differs greatly on the two OS especially for NV cards.
OC_A64 said:Can you confirm your testing the card on an "old" install which has been running NV drivers (and if so both vista and XP) please?
Gibbo said:Yes the system had an NV 8800 GTX OC installed previously. Drivers were uninstalled and then card removed. ATI card installed and drivers installed.
