    Mabye we will never get these new cards .

    nvidia will have the 6800 ultra still wiating to hit stores so that when ati finally announces the r420 nvidia knows how to beat it . But ati never does and so neither release the cards .

    Thus the 9800xt will be the best card for another year .

    You're still talking about the 6800Ultra and not some quick refresh part, right? 'cause in that case... am I the only one bored to tears about this "show me yours, I'll show you mine"...? :? I'm not even particularly impatient ( no viddy card update for me this year ) but this is just awkward IMO.
    When will we finally have all (OK, at least the flagship) cards on the deck? ( dig, I believe this one is yours to answer... )

    According to www.3dchips-fr.com, the X800Se should be slower than a 9800 pro.
    The XT should be faster than the 6800U in normal settings but the X800Pro slower. And with AA+AF enable (4* + 8*?) the 6800U and the X800XT should be really close.

    Of course this is based on pre-release benchmarks - so think will like change when the cards are officially in store.. Also may change when Direct X 9.0c is released.

    One thing ( even after removing comma on website ), I could not find anything on this site that references the speed comparing the two. I think this information is fake because site reference is foreign language and not correctly mention. Just a hunch.

    Well, that what they say, not sure if it's what it will be.
