ITS GONNA HAVE 32 PIPES COMPARED TO THE LITTLE G70'S 24, AWWW HOW CUTE.
LOOKS LIKE NVIDIA JUST RUSHED TO GET SOMTHIGN TO THE MARKET.
TO BAD, THERE CARD WILL GET SQUASHED.
LOL, SLI ROCKS, I CANT LIVE WITHOUT IT, BEST $1000 I EVER SPENT, SLI G70 WILL CRUSH THE R520 SO TO BAD, LOOKS LIKE NVIDA WAS ONE STEP AHEAD THIS TIME, LIKE ALWAYS, LOLER SKATES.
HAVE FUN WAITING FOR YOUR R520, IF STUPID ATI CAN EVEN MAKE ONE BEFORE THE END OF THIS YEAR. MAYBE THOSE CANADIANS SHOULD JUST STICK WITH THEIR 2002 FEATURE SET, EVER HEARD OF HDR, SOFTSHADORWS, DKKD, SSS, FSKFL?

:roll: Why exactly would I give a fat rats a$$ if the R520 is faster than a 7800GTX?
A. I'll buy one, unlike you.
You'll buy the r520, but only after you oc your 7800gtx until it blows up and still cant match it. And you would care if the r520 is faster (although probably wont admit it) , because you won't tolerate the humiliation of your favorite campany being pushed into the obscurity of second place. And then I'll buy 2 and Xfire them together just to piss you off. :evil:

But.. But.... ATi arent producing those chips... MS are.
Because Microsoft owns the R500 chip design and could use any foundry and process they choose. They only liscence it from ATI. It could also be clocked lower and first gen might even be 130nm or 110nm but move to 90nm later. Time will tell.
Secondly the R500 and R520 are not the same chip they are different. The R600 will be something similar to what is learned on the R500.
If everyone recalls the XBOX 1 GPU was supposed to be clocked higher than what it was released at.
I would assume there is a problem getting ATI chips speed high enough so it can compete with the 7800 than any other real manufacturing problem. A quick redesign and retap should get the speed up enough so that its a competitor.

It's his choice what he buys. The problem comes when he spreads misinformation and BS and someone, not knowing better, actually believes it.

Does it "piss you off" that I have 7800GTX SLI? If not, why would it "piss me off" if you had R520 Crossfire? If it does "piss you off", you're stupid.
Apparently you don't understand that I'm a working adult, if I want an R520 Crossfire, I can just buy one? :roll: (it's not likely I will though as I have two SLI rigs and doubt Crossfire can give me anything worth switching for)
Yeah, you're "evil" all right. :roll: "Lord have mercy! I'm just dreading the day when Famous Munky upgrades his video card and leaves me in the dust!" LOL- you have some interesting ideas......

Right Ben, you want to link Matrox's awesome superior multimedia card with advanced video features and back it up with a critical review that backs you up?
Funny, I can't recall a single BSOD from CCC testing over the past 13 months on several platforms

You aren't kidding...... You really don't follow the market at all do you- Link. Review. Lots of reviews.
Good to know you are on top of the extreme low end crap market in terms of video- keep going with that.

Enough of your crazy crap Ben! rbV5 knows that ATI AIWs own the high end video editing market, and your links to $1000+ Matrox cards that are professional quality can prove nop different! Begone infidel!
I bet the only cards used in Hollywood are 9600AIWs!
CCC.Where? I keep hearing about this and it isn't anywhere that I can find in my control panel.
Is this a joke?Who?
Sorry, can't help you with that one as I don't have any problems with it.CCC installed on my rig=BSOD all day long.
Battlefield 2 requires 1.4.What game requires higher then 1.1?
Yes, we already know you like to play your games at 1999 settings just to pimp "OMG soft shadows!" and "OMG HDR!".I'd rather have the option to run HDR at 10X7 0X0X
Have you read those threads? Half of the people there are using third party drivers and/or tweakers while the rest of them are probably overclocking.BSOD w/CCC, BSOD in CCC @Rage3D thread, More BSOD, more BSODs with CCC. It isn't like it is some isolated or rare event.

Based on your posts amusingly it appears I run higher settings than you. I'd actually be interested in hearing how many games you've played from start to finish in the last six months because it doesn't appear that you even know how to tweak your own hardware properly. I expect you spend your days installing new hardware and then posting on forums trying to convert the masses rather than actually using said hardware.Interesting smack talk from a man who can't even dream of the settings I run at?
Bargain basement? A X800 XL is bargain basement? I guess a 6800 GT would be too then, eh? Yet I seem to remember you pimping a 6600GT SLI setup as viable and given that a faster single 6800GT is "bargain basement" what does that make your SLI setup?"I'll run whatever bargain basement card suits me at low res, as long as it doesn't need a fan
LMAO!BFG, you apparently fail to realize that Rollo is on all sides of every issue.
I run all games at 19X14 4X TAA 8X if available.Originally posted by: BFG10K

LOL What do you mean by "tweaking" hardware? In any case, my two computers are a A64 3800+/7800GTX SLI and a A64 3200+/6800GT SLI. I can assure you whatever "proper tweaking" you've done, I don't need it. I've finished Unreal2, Tribes Vengeance, and Doom3 in the last 6 months. I play UT2004 daily. I'm currently working my way through Serious Sam. I just installed SC:CT and SWAT4, just ordered GTA San Andreas.I'd actually be interested in hearing how many games you've played from start to finish in the last six months because it doesn't appear that you even know how to tweak your own hardware properly.

Errr, yeah. That "proper tweaking" is rocket science BFG. :roll:It's like giving car keys to someone without a license.
Compared to the 6800Ultra you gave up for it, the X800XL is "bargain basement".Bargain basement? A X800 XL is bargain basement? I guess a 6800 GT would be too then, eh?

Your nitpicking people's posts would be comical as well BFG, but mostly it's just tiring.Your nVidia dance is really comical Rollo. It's like you're the nVidia court Jester or something.
