I'll be very disappointed indeed if I don't see actual benchmarks along with the technical information.

 

[etalns]

Too bad we dont got a chatroom, then we could go, 10, 9, 8, 7....

No, probably not... That' just be silly.

 

[Adul]

Take care,

ahhh, damn matrox bastards, I wake up all happy because I'm going to read alot of parhelia reviews, go to school and nothing.. oh well, a few hour wait wont hurt me.

Anand, will the review have benchmarks?

 

[Degenerate]

hehe.. it only 8:15 pm here...... waiting.....

 

[Czar]

it seems to me after checking out all those links that there are no benchmarks, the articles we will probably see on anandtech and tomshardware and all the others will just be a technology review.

oooorrrr maybe
I read a post by Ant on Murc and he said some where only under the 14th NDA and some were under the 9:00 14th NDA, sooo maybe those under the 9:00 NDA have the card for testing while the others only have the pdf's aand swf files.

scary bit is the blower they have below the card:Q

 

[Bluga]

No benchmarks?

Bah! Hopefully it's not marketing hype.

 

[mastabog]

I just read the whole thread and if you do it also you will see a picture like "Oh my god .. review coming .. INCOMIING!!! ahhh darn ... just a decoy ... "
Really big events are funny to watch

Cheers

[mastabog]

pics Czar posted dont work (php script might check for referer)
take this instead http://www.hwupgrade.it/articoli/608/15.html

Cheers

[gregor7777]

And by those pics there is most certainly two PCI slots blocked by that outrageous HSF.

Hope that the alpha card is the only one with that silly thing.
