Now that ATI has paper launched , again, I can't wait for the rest of the Nvidia Cards :D

The x1600XT was REALLY dissapolinting, usually just being on par with the 6600 GT for atleast $50 more....

Hopefully Nvidia can get out a 7600 GT/GTX part that would hopefully come close to rivaling the x800xl/6800GT.

I am not sure you will see a 7600 anytime soon. The 6600GT fits the bill nicely. I am not sure that the 7600 will bring anything to the table that the 6600GT doesn't already provide. But hey, I could be wrong.

When they release it, it's probably going to be a more efficient version of the 6600GT

The 6600gt is already a year old.

A 6600GT w/ transparent AA sounds like a winner.

I could use a 7600GT.

7600 GT would be ~ 6800 / 6800 GT

Yes, it was, so why exactly would nVidia feel a need to release a new midrange card when their old SM3.0 supporting cards still bests the oppositions new mid-range card?
Sure, it would be *nice* to have a 7600GT(X), but due to a poor showing from ATi, nVidia have no need to make one, so I doubt they'll be rushing.

ya that would be amazing....just goes to show how good the 6600GT was. i dont think Nvidia might release the 7600GT soon as it would kill its sales on the 6600/6800GT.

The performance of the X1600XT simply defies logic and convention. I would think that a 12-pipe card running on ATI's newest architecture with speeds of 590/1.38 would do much better than an 8-pipe 6600GT or even a 12-pipe 6800. First benches however do not make this case.

The strange part is that the X1600XT gets a 3DMark05 score that is higher than the X800XL by 300 points and 1400+ point greater than the 6600GT. Yet it doesn't perform significantly better (sometimes worse) as you would expect it to based on the 3DMark05 score & its 12 pipes. I don't really know that much about the RV530 architecture but somethine about this card just doesn't seem right. Either that or the drivers ATI has released are s***.

The X1600XT only has 4 pixel pipelines (output, not shader). Thus, performance is all over the place. In the most shader-intensive scenarios the card is very fast, probably comparable to a 6800GT. But in other scenarios it loses to the 6600GT.

Let me get this right. You are complaining that it is a paper launch (title) because the cards start shipping next week. So for that reason, you are going to wait for a card that isn't shipping yet?

I am confused.
