I'm defending no one.
I dont care who makes the cards.
Fact is the 8800 GTX is like having top ATI/NV cards in SLI or Xfire in a one card solution.
Relatively speaking it does not use that much power considering the speed gains over the heat and power requirements of 1950 xfire for example.

Dont see how?
Will it?
I want proof that the R600 will be more efficient?
Cause this thread has none.
It just little fanboys defending cards that do not exist.Made up of facts that are based on nothing but conjecture.
Face it boys.The 8800 GTX rocks just deal with it.
By the time R600 arrives after the boring wait NV will have something new to release.
Call everyone little fanboys then come out with that in the same post. Such a fool. I thought you knew your stuff but your just a stuck up hot head. Most of your posts pre G80 till now have been attrocious.
Geez do you ever give it a rest. YOU ARE COMPARING OLD TECH TO NEW TECH. I thought you knew your stuff as well.
Fanboyism it sounds like and not that you support Nvidia through and through, just that you have the top card. Sad.
Now if you look at Nvidia's image quality BEFORE the G80 compared to ATI's current OLD tech you'll see that ATI destroys Nvidia's. OH can Nvidia's last offering give you HDR and AA together? No. Shimmering issues here, there and everywhere with Nvidia's old tech. With the last ATI x1800/x1900 Vs Nvidia 7800/7900, ATI is the clear winner with a much all round better card. It's a no brainer. Image quality not far off G80 with HDR & AA support compared to the 7900 series is the big winner in my eyes. Also does better at higher res's with eye candy a plenty.
With ATI still to answer back with R600 and with them stomping all over Nvidia last round then why would ATI(AMD) bring such a weak contender to the table?. It would cost millions for it to flop like that. Imagine if ATI pushed their image quality as far as Nvidia has from 7900 to 8800. It would then leave the G80 standing in that department alone. There is no proof though but if you follow the way tech has being going from certain manufacturers then you can usually make a feasible educated guess.
I absolutley love the 8800GTX and one of my best buds has one on order right now on my word. I think this card is amazing and kicks ATI's old offerings to the kerb. I'm a performance lover, not the brand. I admit I didn't like Nvidia that much for reasons stated above with ATI being able to do the things that Nvidia couldn't but it's different now. I respect Nvidia now with G80.
I suspect that the R600 will be a powerhouse and probably a little bit faster than the G80 but thats just an educated guess from how it's been running previously with ATI over Nvidia. Although this time the image quality will be real close. It will be interesting now Nvidia has a class card to compete with.
Face it boys.The 8800 GTX rocks just deal with it <---- Statement from EasyRider comparing the G80 to well.... nothing. My 6800Ultra owns your 9800pro. Well duh of course it does.
with that these days you can get a dvd player, a widescreen tv, surround sound speakers and still have money left over to buy the mrs some new lingerie.
