So the G71s are true G70 refreshes (as they were always intended to be): Smaller die size, higher clocks. This leads to the mediocre 3DMark score increases over 7800 series cards but it should be enough to match the X1900XT and maybe the XTX, when it comes to the 7900GTX. Also with the better...

Oh well guess I just have to hope I never forget a password here after I move and lose the non-GMail email acct. :lol: (Unlike every other forum I'm on, none of which seem to have this mysterious problem with "spam bots", btw.)

RE: It's fixed: I just tried it and it still won't let me update my email address. :sad:

I have to use an old email address I will be losing in about two weeks due to moving. This is the only site I've signed up at that does not allow me to use my gmail account as my account email. Can this be fixed please? Do I need an admin to manually set my email address to my gmail account...

I came to this thread looking for how to turn it off since I see some folks have it disabled. Can't find it in my use control panel though. One negative aspect to its current setup is that you cannot tell who repped you. People shouldn't be able to rep others unless they are willing to stand...

So let me ask this in this thread then: Is the 7900 series release by NVidia essentially the last high-end DX9 release or will ATI come back with an R590 release as a refresh on the X1900 series? Or is the R590 only for new lower-end cards like an X1900XL and perhaps an X1800GTO?

FiringSquad often has the best hardware reviews imho, (at least compared to Anandtech) which is sad because Anandtech could be the best if they actually included more worthwhile cards in their tests. I like that in FSquad reviews I can often see exactly how much improvement the newer cards have...

Ok, feel free to share where I'm wrong. Also, might want to let the reviewers know that the XTX is not the replacement for the Platinum Edition label, since at least one (it was either Anandtech or Firingsquad, IIRC) has surmised as much.

My understanding is the XTX is the replacement for the PE. They went with a name change due to many people's poor impression of the PE being unavailable to purchase. Regarding the R590, I think you'll see it shortly after the G80 comes out around June. That will be ATI's only chance to answer...

Many people use GMail as their primary email account now. I had to use one of my old spam email acocounts to reg here. Reminded me of back in the day when forums prevented people with Hotmail accounts from signing up. At least back then we all had ISPs that gave out email addresses which we...
