8800Ultra are not >$800, or even >$700, please get your facts straight, unless your buybing from a brick and motor store (in which case >1000 would be correct.) please dont post misinfomation.


Besides we know that DAAMIT would fail before they even finialized details for the R680

Just visited Newegg, and there is an 8800Ultra for $590, so yes clearly $849 is a large overstatement.

I stopped reading after the 2x r670 = 1 r680
how disapointing if this is true
Ati get a decent Gpu on the market please dont fool around and make something single gpu that takes the performancecrown back..
Amd should have never bought Ati ....

What's even worse about the delay, is that the R680 will probably still carry a $800 price tag as earlier reported..... NO THANKS!

It's clear AMD is tanking and its dragging what was a fine company - ATI - with it.

When you look at the 7950 GX2 it doesn't seem like a bad idea. Of course then you realize before they did that Nvidia had SLI DRIVERS THAT WORKED!! True ATI has better driver support and stability than Nvidia in Windows Vista, but the fact remains that ATI dose not have good crossfire drivers. They still do not have 4x support for the dual 1950 Pro cards such as those developed by Sapphire. True they have open sources their Linux drivers and that MAY, POSSIBLY, help them iron out some crossfire bugs, but I think the Linux community just wants one device working first so I'm really not holding my breath on that.

What a load of ****.
Give us some single slot, single GPU solutions... not some fat ass graphics cards that consume so much power that your power company call you and asking if you're alive and aware of the huge power usage that's on par with a steelplant.
