@ Wanker
no you are the moron dont you see that nvidia is not giving his best shot because they dont feel pressure from ATI

ATI is slumbering guys. Dont expect anything great in the next coming months. If i take under consideration my crossfire test the r680 will be nothing great. Except if there are so great driver issues and they manage to solve them with the launch of the r680. Only R700 and G100 will be great new technologies.

@ Wanker
It is within the best interest of every NV Fanboy/consumer that ATI poses some competition. SXGreddy is right about that one. You need to think before you type. I love nVidia.. always have, but ATI DOES need to push the market, for nVidia’s sake. Do you get what I’m saying? Without competition, jumps in advancing technology tends to lessen. Competition is necessary, especially for the consumer to get the best bang for their buck. So yeah, think before you type, please.

I think market need competition.This month and next month,Radeon 3870X2 and G9800GX2 coming one by one…so we can wait for more new option coming and the price change.

Nvidia has been ahead of ATI for so long now that I think they forget what true competition is. They’re thrown out the 8800’s and ATI had nothing to compete with them until just very recently (which now they’re getting all owned again with the newer GTS and GT cards out)
AMD made a poor choice in buying out a company that has been steadily going down hill. Most games in the industry have been working to be optimized with nvidia cards over ATI. And of course this is for good reason as ATI in driver support vs Nvidia just isn’t even close. Nvidia has become the standard in the gaming industry hands down and ATI doesn’t have anything to answer to that (if you don’t believe me, go look at some hard core gamers posting up 3dmark benches and what not…good 75% of those benches will be with an Nvidia card)
Prob should do some homework there Wanker before you post next time…LOL (not everyone online are n00bs)

Once again, the Nvidia fanboys blaming ATI. Are you that ignorant or just plain idiots? Nvidia is the only one to blame, the very same company who is milking you for everything you for every last penny. Yeah, the great company they are.
January 7th, 2008 at 5:46 am
I almost hope ATI doesn’t come out with anything faster, just to wipe the stupid grin off the Nvidia fanboys faces.
January 7th, 2008 at 7:01 am
Basic economics people,If the market stagnates due to lack of competition.Then the strongest can relax and just milk old tech for all its worth.It’s just business boys.First and foremost any corporation is in business to make money.To believe otherwise is just pure naivete.Nvidia is just doing what any business does when in a dominant position.As consumers we just have to wait and be patient and wait out all the stop gap tech and eventually ati will get its act together.At least long enough to give Nvidia enough of a push to make it go to the next level(G100).

9@ U realy should step out of the nvidia box.

Competition is a good thing for customers and companies:
1. For customers, better competition means better, more advanced products and lower prices.
2. For companies, better competition means more involved products to one-up the other guy and more demand!

nVidia vs ATI it’s mad crazy. Let me bust it out for you in terms even noobs can understand. ATI just plain out SUX period. I do a lot of custom gaming computer’s and with that goes a lot of benchmarking. I’ve always gotten better marks on every machine that was using nVidia verses ATI. Just to step out even further we have a custom gaming PC right now running Crysis on default settings of “Very High” using one NOT two, one nVidia 8800GT with an average FPS of 30. nVidia is hands down a better graphics card and always has been. With that said you are always going to have people that sway from one side or the other. Really what it comes down to is how much are you willing to spend for a great gaming experience. Prime example you go purchase two ATI 512MB 3850’s at $190 a piece that = $380 and you might be able to run Crysis on “Very High” now consider one 8800GT at $280 which can run Crysis on “Very High” really where’s the most bang for the buck at?

Looks like to me ATI had you fooled this whole time and pulled that one right past all you loyal ATI FB. Two cards for the same performance as one? Hundred dollar difference there spanky. See its not most bang for your buck when you got to spend a hundred dollars more to get the performance I got at $280.

And for the ATI non-believers out there you can even youtube it right here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nzBViriAI3w
