Jesus..... :eek:

Is that good I take it? What are the G80's at?

Ah stuff it, I'll do the whole :eek:

as well. Lol.

shrek2 · 23 May 2007 at 18:46

I'll join in :eek:

Hopefully they get some decent drivers.....

Just as AMD ready Barcelona, Intel ruin the party by announcing Nehalem.

Just as AMD ready the R600 refreshes, Nvidia ruin the party by announcing G92.

It's really not AMD's year is it, what next?

Just over double what the 2900XT produces so thats pretty damn impressive, It will be NV for me

'Theoretically' the g80's (gtx) is at 520 gigaflops. However it's only capeable of utalising 420.... (ish)

Why

Drivers. It's very tricky to get 100% of what the card is capeable of

jaykay · 23 May 2007 at 18:58

Wow thats like 2 r600.

I guess if it were in a console however it would utilise more of this capability as it can be more optimised.

My god thats a hell of a lot of power, lets see if nv can transfer it into real world performance.

If they can looks like one for me later this year

You could say the same thing in reverse when AMD kicked Intel's arse with Athlon 64 and ATI duffed up NVidia with the 9700Pro. It all goes in cycles and AMD/ATI will be back, not quite yet though I don't think

PinkFloyd · 23 May 2007 at 19:05

Nice stuff

Sure nVidia drivers can make it perform quite a bit slower than it should though

Yes you could, and I never said otherwise. What I said was it hasn't been AMD's year, and it hasn't.

No need to get defensive because AMD are performing abysmally as of late, I miss them too.

Not getting defensive at all, I have no loyalties and buy whatever is the best at the time (currently on AMD/NVidia but have had all permutations). Was just saying they'll be back and it's not the end of AMD/ATI as some doom-mongers would have us believe, not that you were implying that

Very true. Always buy what is best out, from either manufacturer, and you can't lose really. Not sure why some people stick to just one manufacturer.

Oh no, I am not saying that AMD are doomed. Not by a long shot. I'm just commenting on how dire they are performing as of late, they have Intel and Nvidia laughing all the way to the bank.

I'm also not saying that's a good thing, just for the record, because you can see from 8800 drivers and prices that lack of competition is a very bad thing.

Same, which is why after being a very long-term customer of ATI and AMD, I suddenly have a rig stacked with Intel and Nvidia stuff. :eek:
