Any idea on when ati will release this and be on sale at overclockers, i just bought brand new pc and all that awaits is the r600.

all i can remember was someone saying the end of this or next month.
 
yes, but still the same results, TBC.

i have a feeling it wont be out untill about august which temps me to get a graphics card now.
 
will a 8800gtx work in my Gigabyte 965p GA DQ6 motherboard, im a bit of a newbie to computer building. (as you can tell).

just sli wont work in it only crossfire.
 
thanks, i guess i will get a 8800 then and overclock it, untill the r600 comes then i will get that.
 
i have been with nvidia for far to long i just wanted to try the ati side for a while, i will wait a week and give it some thought, as i want to be able to play crysis when it comes out.

im glad i took the step into dual core processors though, my P4 was getting a bit slow the dear thing, i have had a many good times using it though.

i will wait and see this 2900xt benchmarks look like, as i hear ati have a superior crispness to their images (less jaggys).

edit: i never listen to all the fanboys, i make my own mind up unless the benchmarks say something differant. its a bit like my college friends say "ooh i have a PS3 and it owns your 360" i just happily sit at the side and listen to a very funny developing argument between a group of people who dont know jack NO SWEARING about anything.

ATI definitely did have a massive advantage in image quality with the X1800/X1900 Series, but Nvidia really turned it around. The image quality on the 8800 Series is far beyond anything we've ever seen.

ATI might take it a step further with the 2900 Series, but time will have to tell.

thanks for the info, i will wait and compare results, i have a 6800gt at the moment which has served me well and i really want to make the leap into DX10.
