Why am I not seeing any HD2600XT/pro benchies yet?

They've been here in New Zealand for over a month now and I haven't heard anything about their performance yet...

I know, it's getting ridiculous. I've been wondering the same thing. They're supposed to be out soon, how've we not seen anything? I don't care if it's not awesome performance, I care if it's awesome for the price. >_>

Did you do a search on google for HD2600??

I found quite a few benchmarks/reviews...

lol, I just googled and came back to this website.

If I remember correctly, I saw some benchmarks that showed the 8600 GTS slower than the X1650 XT. The 8600 GTS is faster than the other mid-range 8600/8500/whatever cards from Nvidia they're way faster than the HD2600/2400.

In any case, the X1650 XT is about three quarters the speed of a X1950 Pro and they both beat the new mid-range video cards.

That's kind of strange in a way. If you want DX10 and want a mid-range card, you have to DOWNGRADE in order to get it. That's why I ordered my X1650 XT real fast when I noticed the new mid-range weren't too hot. I decided it's better to get one before they vanish.
