ATI might have something up their sleeves........I don't get why they would release a 16 pipeline card to compete with the 24 pipeline 7800GTX unless they are planning something.........Makes me wonder....Well anyways at least I'm looking forward to the new x1800x cards......Not to buy, just to see the benchmarks and compare it to nvidia......Never know if they use some new technology that boosts performance much like the thunderbird did for AMD........
EDIT: also give crossfire time, im sure ati will work out those bugs......
