In respect to the NDA or Spec sheet typo????
Conspiracy Theorists to the rescue!!!!!!!

No doubt a little of both.

I highly doubt the core will be only 470.

Everyone has their priorities Overgloc.

You can get rid of most of the shimmering just by using High Quality and the latest drivers.

It'll cost you some money to get rid of the dustbuster on a XT, and I don't know what you can do about the slower performance.

ATI won that with the $1000 x850xt pe @ the egg for a while.

I really dont understand what the big deal is about the price. The X1800XT is selling for $600 or mroe right now. Why should Nvidia's offering be any different.

You're already gonna pay $600 for an X1800XT, why wouldnt you pay an extra $50 for a faster card?

Oh yeah, that's right, you're fanboys. :roll:

The MSRP on the XT is $549. It'll come down to MSRP and less once the cards start showing up in reasonable numbers, just as happened with the XL.

So if the new GTX card has an MSRP of $650, then it's $100 more than the XT. If you consider that a good deal then by all means get your credit card ready to go.

Have you looked at this?

Here's a quote:

"Due to an IC substrate shortage, supplies of ATI?s Radeon 9250, X300, and X550 are short of demand at present, according to sources at graphics card makers. Although the chip vendor launched its 90nm process R5xx series only in the latter half of this year, the Radeon X1800, X1600, and X1300 are also limited in supply, the sources added."

Good luck getting an XT at MSRP. You can buy your XT here if you've got the $699.00

i honestly can't believe a company like ATI has stumbled so badly like this. as of right now, their mid-highend cards are not at all competitive with Nvidia's offerings price wise. add to it the limited supply, and this is simply a terrible cycle for them. i really hope they improve with the 580 series.

Or I can get it here:

for $558. Yeah, both places are out of stock so the prices don't really mean a damn thing, do they?

 

[Ronin]

Perhaps but, but the availability sure does, doesn't it?

 

[Cookie Monster]

In guru3d the default clocks of the 512mb GTX is 560/1600.

We could see some insane clocks on the ram. Notice the 900(1600). Think about the OC on the rams. Could easily hit 1000mhz (thats 2000mhz DDR effective) on air.

I wonder if the prices on these beasts would drop like the GTX? I highly doubt it, but its really up to how fast the performances are. Lets wait for the benches.. xD

Yep if these are the reference clocks then the core is a lot lower than was expected (550 standard) and the memory is 100 mhz short of the 1800 mhz that was speculated. The only thing impressive about this card is the memory frequency. I'm guessing the much costlier KO edition might have 500+ core speed. I'll definitely be passing on these, bring on G80/R600!

We still have R580 to deal with first .

It will also cost you some performance to get rid or minimize the shimmering on the 7800.

So would you consider yourself a fanboy if Ati releases a 700+ mhz XT PE and the thing sells for $700, but you decide it's not worth the price?

 

[CPlusPlusGeek]

XT PE would have to be 800mhz, not 700mhz

 

[Munky]

700 mhz is fine. Dont forget the drivers still need some improvement to see the full potential of the r520.
