I never trust the company's word (after all they want YOU to buy their card!) I'll just wait and read some non-biased opinions.
gaara said:Good points with the paper release too...I remember back in May I believe there were some initial crossfire benchmarks floating around and ATI was gloating because the xfired x850s had the new 3dmark record...of course later that week nvidia released the 7800GTX to the public and stole the crown from ATI
And crossfire has still simply been a paper release
Thats what I've been wondering as well. They must have something up their sleeve however, because why would they let themselves get beat so badly after all that waiting?Tro1086 said:I dont get whey ATI would go to all the trouble of making such a bad ass card with so many new features yet only use 16 pipes when they damn sure know nVidia has the 7800 with 24 pipes, makes no freakin sense.
P.P. Mguire said:Delays mean anything to you? Everytime they would try to top Nvidia specs on pipes it failed on them. So the only thing they can do is make a higher clock and give a bullshit benchmark to try and make it seem better. I call BS on that one. Also, im pretty sure that if it was an official benchmark they wouldnt make a type-o saying the XT is the XL. Dont get me wrong, im not being an Nvidia fanboy, im just setting the facts up here from what im seeing. Ill give them credit though, if thats what it looks like its pretty spiffy.
