    Hence the theory it's an OEM only board.

    Apparently there are Dells out there already with boards of this configuration. Shame I can't remember where I saw this discussion.

    My point actually was that I cannot see any certain power consumption in their measurements. Hence my question what is what after all.

    Uhmm...

    Sure, it's a SmartArray controller .. but I'm pretty much used to a "Full Slot PCI card"

    These cards are securely seated, there's a plastic click-lock on the end of the card which secures the handle. Something like this would never budge out of it's slot during transport.
    Besides, something as massive as this would be very very easy to cool right? more metal, lower rev. fan.
    So OEM/Workstation market, for sure.

    X1950XTX has 4GB/s for each TMU (whose fillrate is 650MTxl/s)

    R600 irumoured to be clocked at 750MHz and hold 32TMUs... thats 4,8GB/s for one TMU (whose fillrate is 750MTxls).

    the ratio is 0,159 Txl/Byte for R580 and 0,152 Txl/Byte for R600. So relative bandwidth is comparable to X1950XTX

    OK, so the bandwidth matches the TMUs, so what are they going to do with all those TMUs?

    You've gotta be using a ton of textures to actually keep that many TMUs busy. Last gen they were stressing high ALU/TEX ratios for shaders. This seems like it would be the exact opposite unless the processing power was at least doubled as well. Fetching every shader constant might not be out of the question either.

    Insiders suggest currently the R600 in the lab is ~50% faster than a X1950XTX in some popular DX9 titles, when 4xAA is applied.
