The rumor as of recent was that ATI, had severe performance problems with the r600.... and that is why they were pushing it back... Now this ..http://www.fudzilla.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=703&Itemid=34

[waits for shadow to ban tjhooker]


Whether this is all speculation or not.... ATI hasn't answered NVidia's 8800 GTX for six months.... ATI better come up with something to restore their credibility, and it better be good, cause NVidia might just one up itself before ATI releases R600.

Wow what a reliable source too. Seriously just wait for it to release instead of believing dumb sh*t like that.

Yeah, its rumorville crap .... but still its decent info, hopefully the benchmarks they were using is sh*t... just like the ole 9700 vs 4200ti ... 4200ti owned the 9700 in most benchmarks... and now the 9700 can still play most games with decent rates/res... while the 4200ti is a POS

Here's a source thats just as reliable: www.theinquirer.net

But yeah, i refuse to believe both, i'll see the card when it comes out.

I think that is BS, but there is no doubt that there is trouble brewing

It's all Microsoft's fault

the reason performance is so drag - the cards being released now are GDDR3...

which is why i'm waiting for the r670's, they been working on the ES chips for a while and drakma had one, besides these cards they are releasing are ONLY like 512mb onboard video mem, compared to the new ones using 1G which are the true bleeding highend's

Lol, why does it matter dude? Its a video card. ATI is all good and NVIDIA is all good.. both are just companies making video cards, why does it matter who uses what type of card. My preference is NVIDIA, and you cant argue that the 8800 is not the best card on the market right now and that it doesn't rock. But getting pissed off at someone because of their video card company preference? :wtf:

The graphics card debate is getting as annoying as Mac vs. PC...

Nobody cares. Both types have their strengths. Quit b*tching at eachother.

No matter what, porn will be accessible by all.
