1. That 8800GT is ranked below 8800GTS 320 doesn't imply that it's slower. The table is ranked by PRICE, and 8800GT is indeed cheaper.

I have to agree the 8800GT/512 is a solid performer even with its lower price point.

2. Most ATI products start with the RX prefix. Seems to me that this is a slide from MSI.

3. "..., the slide positions Nvidia GeForce 8800 GT below the GeForce 8800 GTS 320MB, whereas in reality the new model offers higher performance than the 8800 GTS 320MB..."

The comparison key is price, no performance.

4. it's a lie to find a leaker...

5. 4 the rich and spoiled I guess or for those who think they're rich but are still spoiled.

6. RX prefix clearly smells of MSI. Category names are funny though, X1050 and X1550 are hardly mainstream, I wouldn't call 2400Pro a performance solution and 2600XT an enthusiast one, but I guess it's all marketing, it's more appealing for the customer to think they're buying a powerful part.

7. For $800 this thing better run Crysis at 120fps at 1680x1050 and 8x AA! I'm all for AMD's success but the price seems unrealistic.

I totally agree with you on that one brother!

Yep, this price is unjustifiable unless it is at least as powerful as 2 8800 GT's in SLI. =0

...and it is able to run using a 600 Watt power supply.

8. For the most part I'm fine with my 1950GT. Having tried my hand at Crysis I'll upgrade my card and my get Crysis when there is a card for $200 that can run it at 1600x1200 in full glory with 60fps. Yeah I'm gonna wait a while ^_^

9. I wonder if will be in 2008 a graphic card capable of playing Crysis at 2560x1600 with "very high" settings and AA. Maybe 2009.

8800GTX is only capable of 1920x1200, "high", no AA: 31,2fps

10. This is silly, the 8800 GT 512MB is almost the same performance of an 8800 GTX card with half the price. the best bang for the buck indeed!!! hail NVIDIA!!!

11. My only question is whether or not R680 is MCM, or Dual everything via crossfire (single PCB). Am soo hoping MCM.

R600 was designed to run x^2 GPU configurations, I am hoping that this is leveraged, and utilized as Rv670 drops to 256Bit memory path... Considering that 2 in MCM would utilize 512bit ATI Ring Bus, and can easily leverage HT for cross chip communication (or hell the memory bus is fat enough for that). Regardless, hopefully a proper multichip setup, and not an Nvidia-esque Dual PCB solution.

Here is also hoping Rv670 fixes MSAA issues... But perhaps thats too much to hope for.

12. boring... AMD is only good at making presentation slides these days..

hahahaa........
presentation of hardware that fails to materialize, like wacos from bitboyz oy
