    Those drivers seem to boost 3DM quite a bit while causing problems in real games. So what does that tell you?

    Do they? I wasn't aware of that, what a shame for 8800GTX owners. Hope the reviewers pick that up when it comes to comparison time.

    Inq thinks launch day is May 14th, with tech day three weeks earlier, which would make it next week.

    Then they go on to make a rather astonishing statement:

    Theo, you ignorant slut. G80 tech day was October 18th. Launch day was November 8th. Take off your shoes and your pants and count to 21, Theo. Three weeks is not the least bit unusual for the flagship of a new generation.

    Calm down Geo, it's not good fort your heart. You should ask theo (and he should considering how much buzz he does on B3D) to pay for your next vacations (or perhaps all B3D forum members :twisted: ) ;)

    And that is the problem! He only has 20 digits! It is hard to count to 21 when you keep getting stuck on 20 :wink:

    Well said. People should inform themselves before making that kind of remark, although that was a little harsh(LOL), I assume you guys know each other and it's not a big deal.

    I think that's why Geo told him to lose the pants too, if you get the drift ;)

    Hence the bit about pants. . . :wink:

    I probably should have thrown a smilie in there somewhere. But the "you ignorant slut" bit is an old Saturday Night Live gag that hopefully communicated I was 49% kidding there, tone-wise.

    It's gonna be an interesting few weeks to come. The HD2900XT 512 (GDDR3) will be on allocation, while the other cards aren't, which seems to indicate that there will be plenty of RV cards at launch. The XTX is still scheduled for later on but no indication on the releasedate.

    The table (see attached) in this Xbit article summarizing JPR's Q406 discrete GPU market may be enlightening. I was surprised to see the volume in the "Performance" category, though I'm probably thinking of street (more like online discount store) prices whereas the table probably tracks only retail (brick and mortar and associated online storefront) prices. I say probably b/c I have no idea. Maybe the quarter was an aberration (here's B3D's take on it).

    Those workstation cards are serious ripoffs. They use a slow, common GPU, with a slightly modified driver, and sell for at least 5 times the price.
