    7900 GTX is eight to ten per cent faster than 7800 GTX 512

    Perhaps that's the plan. Current XT prices are 500+, and if nVidia retails this card at 499, onecan suspect that it will be had online for well below that. And we know that two 7800GTX 512 is very competative with Crossfire and beats the single 1900, in the benchmarks everyone says they care...

    ATI x1800XL or eVGA 7800GT CO?

    http://www.firingsquad.com/hardware/evga_e-geforce_7800_gt_co_edition_review/ The 7800gt CO approaches GTX stock speeds. Plus, the GT CO can still o/c, but it's already being pushed. Don't count on getting an XL and getting high overclocks. That is a bad way to buy, because you just don't...

    Anand's ATI RD580: Dual x16 Crossfire Preview

    We need to see numbers, as others have said. It can only be a 1fps difference, but that is still a win. What is the purpose of this article? To give ATi good PR? Otherwise, I am having a hard time seeing the point. Everything you discussed was compared to products that are actually OUT. I...

    AI Chip?

    It appears Extremetech has news of an Israeli company who has a working prototype of an Artificial Intelligence chip, much like the PPU announced earlier this year by AGEIA. Just thought it'd be interesting to see reactions and whether or not it's a good idea. I like the idea of dedicated...

    R520 is still facing power-leakage and heat-dissipation issues

    I don't think it matters if it is faster or not. By the time a faster product from ATi comes along (you have to put that, with current information, in the September/October timeframe), nVidia will have had two well polished, high end cards out for a good 3 to 4 months. You can get a GTX from...

    Next Gen Console Games

    Well, if EB's pricing structure holds, Xbox 360, and I assume PS3 games, will cost 59.99 at the least. All of the games listed right now are at that price, and since these are confirmed launch titles, it more then likely will turn out to be true. I guess Warren Spector and those at GDC this...

    Nintendo DS disappointments.

    My point about rehashed games is that the PSP games, while not EXACT ports, are the same format and mostly same gameplay. Sure, maybe they have different tracks or levels, but they are far from totally different. Also, the games I listed are all of the same respective families of games, and...

    Nintendo DS disappointments.

    The DS has rehashed games? Take another look at the PSP's games... almost ALL ports, with nothing new. DS has many innovative games coming out (and some are out in Japan) that make use of the touch screen. How about a game where you play a medical intern or surgeon, and use the touch screen...
