Seems there are more leaked benchmarks which indicates HD2900XT being very competitive or maybe better than 8800 GTS. Even DailyTech benchmarks also hinted on this.
The blog entries are full with R600 stories. One thing I don't fall into is 2900XT OCed beat 8800 GTX Ultra in 3DMark06. |

fudzilla mentioned that :
QUOTE R650 is the Radeon HD 2950XTX ATI hasn't launched the R600 yet and it is already planning its next launch of a die shrinked version. It won't be launching the 1024 MB graphics card until Q3. It plans to launch the R650 chip and brand it as Radeon HD 2950XTX, 1024 MB GDDR4. The chip is called R650 and it is a 65 nanometre core, how convenient. With this new chip ATI might have a fighting chance against the Geforce 8800 Ultra, but the real question is what will Nvidia have at that time. The cards are scheduled for late Q3, so you should expect them to arrive in August or September, unless they get postponed. http://www.fudzilla.com/index.php?option=c...id=871&Itemid=1 |

no detail specs yet so hard to tell........ well it depends on the market too i think.....cost asus and some other brand of 8800GTS 640mb is still around 1700 mark.....so the local distributor also aiming at the same range.....
i was hoping around the range of 1200 instead but haha...... no chance |

Funny, ATI took a long time to launch their own DX10 cards, but ATI X2900XT still lose to 8800GTS 640MB.
 ATI should have use that very long time to produce a more powerful card that can beat at least 8800GTS 640MB, but from what i see, ATI is weak.  Now, where's all the ruckus about ATI in the same company with AMD?  No need for me to change to ATI then.  |

No need for me to change to ATI then. the Nvidia can do watever he want,example : giving a 8800GTX wif 8500 spec but price 2K, we hv no choice n we must buy it but if there is ATI can compete so that Nvidia only can release a powerful card |
