Agreed. And with that in mind, also hold back on your PSU upgrade, cause you might need a new one to fire up these babies. 😛

I think I'm gonna buy a second psu for the sole purpose of powering the gpu so I can be ok..

I wonder why they would put 65nm on the low end that doesn't have heat issues and 80nm on the high end? It would make better sense to use 65nm for everything if they can: it's cheaper, better energy, and can clock higher. Unless they just can't get the high end chips to yield well with the low manufacture process but as I understand it low manufacture process results with better yields so I have no clue why ATI would go that route.

probably cuz they don't wanna risk delays due to the process like the x1800 was delayed. there gonna experiment on the low end and then release it for high end.

Hope the new ATI cards will be alot cooler and not so hungry for watts.

7950GX 2 may be the fastest of the lot but 512mb X1800XT crossfire may be fastest in its share of games, confirm please
ATi still may be having better IQ though
do a complete conroe+ddr2+dx 10 and all upgrade in early 2007 or late 2006

i think you fully discredited yourself in the 'X1900XTX is CRAP' thread, and should stop posting.
