I hope they do and can't wait to see what it is

i am sure they are working on something (of course if they don't want 2000 series to be a total flop)

seeing is beliving...
they already announced this half year back

Wow!
look at company of heroes @ 2560x1600
84 against 37 !
more than double

you guys have to keep in mind that that the G80 drivers keep getting faster (then broken again) then faster (then broken again)

7800$ hmmmm well it is overclocked to the max with water cooling and stable as a rock with those scores ....

still impressive..

If this is true, then be prepared to pay a hefty pricetag for them!

Interesting.

seems like ati would place itself on the no1 spot after all, glad to see this

if there is one thing you might be overlooking when asking your self if its a new card and its the fact the whole pc is WATER COOLED meaning the CROSS FIRE cards as well and since the card it self has a "huge" overhead which is held back mainlly by its overheating fact, water cooling it would actually bring it closer to its "real" potencial.

The R600 is very crude in a sense that it generates alot of heat reminding me of the PRESCOTT (not to far back), and since there is so much heat there is a larger waste of energy thats why its pumping more PSU w.

the HD 2900 XT/x is the only card manufactured from the R6XX series at 80nm rest (R610,R630) are 65nm, so the real test will be when they optimize the R600 and release it in its 65nm version.

for now only the water/nito cooled R600 card will "rule" the benchmarks.

my 2 cents....

exactly i still wonder why there isn't water cooled model all 2900s look the same except brand name and i think that it could be better if ati waited a little more and released 65nm version of it and instead calling 2900 they should have name it 2800
