Gibbo said:Hi there
First of half of this thread is full of pointless dribble, petty argumentive post and the last time I remember having such kind of arguments was back in primary school.
I won't allow this kind of dribble in the hardware forums, if you want to talk crap, randomly insult and troll post then either visit GD or some other forums but don't do it here.
You know who you are and if it carries on I am just gonna suspend accounts. This thread is too talk about new hardware and constructively.
I've signed an NDA and I work for overclockers UK and therefor I cannot break this NDA unless I am given permission to do or until it expires. The other chap who also supposedly has one will also be under the same NDA. The only way you can get one of these cards is to be nominated by ATI and then agree and sign their NDA. This is why the other guy who says he has one can also not post any pictures, benchmark results or exact specifications.
I want to tell you guys more but I really can as I will get my hands slapped and AMD is a big powerful company so its not wise for me to upset them. I am very honored and priviledged that ATI/AMD have given me a card to test for 24 hours and hopefully them might let me tell you guys more soon, time will have to tell.
Now keep the thread on topic and your post constructive, THANK YOU PLEASE!!
Any chance u can put all the information u are offering in 1 post? Or at least quote a few of more informative posts?Gibbo said:Hi there

Do you have retail prices yet from AMD partners and will the best boards at launch (the one you have i guess) be competitively priced to the 8800 GTS (circa £250 inc)?

I won't say when the date is, but yes I believe they are indeed on target. The card works well and the drivers are good which will only improve so I can't see any issues as to why it would be further delayed.![]()

neo202020 said:With respect Gibbo, the fact that the card works well in that machine is not proof that all is well with the drivers (I do hope that is the case) since a) there are plenty of people who have no problems with 8800s in Vista and b) your machine is not exactly representative of the average [even high-end] user.
I hope you're right though since this looks like just the ticket for me. Thanks again for the info!

No worries, wasn't sure if non figures could be mentioned hence my 'competitive' referenceGibbo said:Hi m8
Sorry but thats the kind of thing AMD would come down very heavy on myself and OcUK plus the UK ATI guys if I confirm any kind of prices. When I can you guys will know first.![]()
Aye, if you ever keep an eye on earlier previews / reviews most comment on they had limited time for testing. There will be X number of press samples that have to do the rounds before the nda is lifted.Cyber-Mav said:you only got the card for 1 day? what happens after that? do you send it back?
