I know it says I'm online, but I just leave myself signed in! Anyway, no time to make an article... Is it even worth it?

This card seems to rock. Will Power just left the building!

Basically ~20% faster than an Ultra, except Crysis where it seems close. Obviously you can OC the X2 but you can OC the Ultra too... If CF drivers improve then you should see the X2 extending its lead.

If its true then yeah wicked...

How much is it going to cost?

Well Peev's article says $550 BUT everywhere else I have seen it is $450... Expect price gouging for the first few weeks with things hopefully settling down to $400...

Hopefully it won't be £400. I have a link somewhere for 399 euros... IIRC.

Hmmm fairly steep.. From the quick scan I just had of those graphs it seems it preforms the same as an Ultra in Crysis..

LOL that is what the OP says

We always pay more than the states so if it is $450 I think we will pay £300.

Generally, it outperforms the Ultra by a decent margin, ball park figure ~20% faster, I just highlighted Crysis as the exeption because, well it matters. People want to play Crysis maxed.

What I am waiting for is two of these in CF

It certainly looks the goods Smitty. I may have to get me one as well I think

399 euros inc. VAT

I`d rather it beat an 8800Ultra @ 3dmark08.

06 should be loosely used as a benchmarker these days, particularly when u see the Crysis results.

If there were more charts for it spanking, and not beating by 5 fps or so, I couldn`t see. For 1 the page took 2 years to come up, and I couldn`t see much navigation leads for squiggles.

Looks a pretty decent card tho. Gotta be around £210 ?

Another review in English - note - there are 2 versions of this card, 775mhz core and 825mhz core. Also this review uses a slower proccy... Here

[Rastalovich]

Thnx m8.

Does certainly take 25 out of 35 results.

Put aside the stoopid resolutions 2560, it still takes something like 16/25.

Still reckon 1680x1050 should be a standard.

Serious Sam 2 2560*1600 HAA 16AF = 78% Faster

That`s crazy-talk.

 

[FarFarAway]

Two cores on one card, of course it's going to be faster

This is blocked at work so I have no idea on the quality of the review... Someone care comment?

dOES THIS LOOK FIT OR WHAT?

VRZONE

Edit 2:

ATI pushed the date back to the 28th. The reason why going around is so the card can launch with its new driver that has fixes and performance increases. Its possible it might be the quad crossfire driver too. NDA was also pushed back to the 28th.

w00t - hope QF works. I read somewhere it wasn't scaling well but they didn't link to anything so, who knows!

 

[Bungral]

One of the links says something about an account being suspended.. another link comes up with page cannot be displayed and the 3rd I dunno.. Think that doesn't load properly due to crap work connection.

 

[Pseudonym]

Only the 2nd link displays anything of value (on my comp at least)

Shiny looking card. :S how many outputs do you really need.

About 4 apparently

Mr.Smiths link works if you click the article title.

Cr@p review though, who the hell are that site, never heard of them.

As for the overclocking, we neither had time nor wanted to torture the card with that as well. Why would we?

N00bs tbh

Some reviews are showing phenominal performance and somea re showing not so great. Another member from another forum pointed it out and it is true. The cards that are being tested on PCI-E 2.0 are scoring much higher points.
