If the retail price of the 6800 NU is $299, then it looks like it could be an interesting card, although more reviews are needed, and AA/AF are most definately needed.
 
I would also liked to see some comparison between cat4.5beta and the real cat4.5
 
Just looking at that picture of all the cards with their heatsinks removed I was struck by just how big the GPUs look on them cards! :oops:

Not meant as a good thing or a bad thing, but it's definately a thing that jumped out at me!

The GT is looking real interesting, I might actually be getting an nVidia card again! (After I get an R420, of course. ;) )
 
Thanks for the link, rachel (wrong forum, though :)). Those benchmarks look a little strange. I don't recall seeing a X800P losing to a 6800 in vertex shading power (X800P beats a 6800U here and here), particularly since (IIRC) it has the full six vertex shaders. Also, I haven't seen a X800P beat a 6800 in 3DM03's PS test, either. Odd results.
 
Well, it looks like they've got the pixel shader and vertex shader results mislabled/switched around in the table.

Code:
                X800 Pro   6800NU   6800GT   6800U
Pixel Shader	 86.3       83.2     142.1    151.3
Vertex Shader	32.7       22.8     25.7     27.1

Also, they used 61.12 drivers, and most reviews have used 60.72 (or around that number) or 61.11. And they used Catalyst 4.5 but it doesn't say if it was the beta or not. Do the "official" Catalyst 4.5's work with the X800's?
 
Good catch, Lezmaka. The official 4.5 must work with X800s, as I've seen many threads showing they lower benchmarks scores in 3DM03 and other games by as much as 20%. HKEPC's 3DM03 score indicates they used the official 4.5.
 
Apparently 4.4 are delivered with X800, 4.5 can be DL from Ati's site. Waiting for 4.6 to have a first official boost :)
 
Does anyone know which driver set is supposed to have the new interface and updated OGL/shader code?

Catalyst 4.4 dont work with X800. I know, had a lot of trouble running X800 that I got without drivers.

4.5 are first official version that adds support for R420 core.
