I'd be interested in seeing what kind of temps this thing runs at. Looks like there's a pretty decent cooling system on this, and I like that it vents it out of the case.

I'd be leary of saying yes on the GTX version. You need to find someone that has that case and take measurements to be sure. One way is to slide a 8.5x11.5 piece of paper in there and seeing if it touches the back of the hd cage. I running on the theory that if the case is 20" or greater in depth there wont be any problems. 19" or shorter in depth and there is potential for problems. Of course it also depends on the layout of the inside of the case. Thats my current working theory right now till we have more concrete info.
Seems a little faster then just "30%", at least in some of the games tested.
This thing runs faster then my 7900GT's in SLI.
I'll probably sell the GT's and get a G80. One will suffice for now.
I think of it this way:
The X1950XTX was almost as fast as my 7900GT's but still slower in most cases.
X1950XTX in CF raped my 7900GT's.
Single G80 will match or better X1950XTX's in CF.
Thats at least my way of thinking about it. I've wanted a chip with 512mb of vram (this case 768mb) for a long time. The newer games at my resolutions were eating up a lot of memory.
A game that stands out is the Dark Messiah game that just came out.
Totally rapes my 7900GT's and I have no idea why.
The normal source games with 4xAA/16xAF wern't that demanding.
Oh well.

There's no way that a slightly faster CPU is going to cause it to run almost 20FPS faster at a higher resolution with the same settings. When I read their little preview, I thought to myself that something must be off, as I don't believe that an X1950XT would only manage that framerate at 16x12 in HL2.

Look at that link. About 50% improved performance from less than 300Mhz on the CPU? Its getting about the framerates Dailytech is reporting for 16x12-4xAA at 20x15-4xAA.
There's definitely something off there. I'd be very curious to know what settings were used and why (did they force the 8800 into HQ? maybe nvidia told them that some lower setting for them is equal image quality wise to a higher setting that ATi has?).
No. GTS is one PCI-e each. GTX is two.
SLI approved PSU's for GTS is 12V @ 55A while GTX is 60A.

Wow, that's like double irony. I think my head is going to explode.

*looks behind.
"oh there they are. "
* runs away.
anyway back to the thread like i said benchhing these old games (and prey which is based off an old game's engine) is quite useless.
give us the real benches using oblivion and other newer games.

Video cards already do something similar to CnQ. Both lower clock speeds when the gpu/cpu isnt under load.
True, and I never claimed so. I only claimed that an X1950XTX will get more of an average frame rate than 34fps in Q4 with 4xAA@1600x1200.
This is also true. However the changes shouldn't be that different. 20 frames more on the setup that is using 2 less CPU cores on a multi-threaded game and a higher resolution with the same amount of AA? Doesn't sound right. DT's system should have brought more to the table with 4 CPU cores and a lower resolution than AT's benches.
Except that TrAA/AAA is a Direct3D feature, not an OpenGL one.
I'm not saying the G80's scores are wrong but to me DT's score for the X1950XTX is too low. My X1900XT gets a better average than that.
You are the only one I have ever seen complain about this on AT. I have never experienced flickering of any kind, but maybe I am just lucky 😀

So this puts the r600 almost 1/2 a year away still!
