Ahem watercooling?

Ahem watercooling?

tad bit expensive dont you think :p

[Tran]

Awesome! Can't wait to see this baby in action! Bring on the X800 and X800 XT!!!

[XLS]

Really looking forward to the x800 XT !

[Acezo]

Can't wait to see what kind of performance increase this'll get over the current cards...I may stick with my AIW 9700 Pro :p The fanboy inside me does hope this is better than nVidia's solution though

[Arrowhead]

I gotta say, if nVidia doesnt buckle up this time, ATI will get my money. I wont be loyal to them lol

How come your all goin "wooo ATI" dont forget that the NV40 has 210million transistor AND the same number of piplines, do the maths fanboys.

160m vs 210m = hmm.

On the contrary, this sounds like a fanboy's response. And the fact that you have a Geforce FX proves my point.

The number of transitors each card has doesn't really make that much of a difference, it will come down to whoever has the better design with more efficiency. I might add ATI uses a low-k process which should lower power consumption/heat a considerable amount. Considering nvidia has more transitors and doesn't use this process is worrysome. Remember the NV30 had more transitors then the R300 as well, and look where it got it.

Anova, im not a fan boy, ive made numerous posts about buying an ATI card if they are better in this next up and coming generation. anyway thats besides the point.

Efficency upon power means that core clock and memory speeds will have to be sacrificed as the voltage to them will be lower, thats a BaD thing.

And below your sig tells me your an ATI fanboy and the fact that YOU have an ATI card proves my point :) Touche mate hehe

lol, just leave it be, the efficenty power thing does not mean lower clock speed :p, it just means its more efficent, plus if you want you can volt mod it if you want to extreme overclock it, either way, i'm rooting for ati this time as nvidia is never getting my movie because of last time (lieing, cheating, no supplie)

If your not a fanboy why do you have a GFFX?

This is completely incorrect.

And below your sig tells me your an ATI fanboy :) Touche mate hehe

And that automatically makes me a fanboy for ATI? Just because I don't appreciate nvidia's business practices doesn't mean I will never buy another product from them.

[Arrowhead]

Business is buisness lol, i reckon every business has done at least one bad deed in order to gain the upper hand, in my opinion the best card gets my cash, simple as.....

and im not making presumptions about who i think will win, the fact is we DONT know.

[Arrowhead]

Anova just because i have a card made by a certain company that doesnt make me a fanboy, Rofl! it just doesnt make any sense.

Woo 400 posts! lol

[Premgenius]

The battles have begun all I need now is benchmarks

I must protest, it makes perfect sense. It means you either did not do the research before buying, or did and decided to ignore it because it had the nvidia logo on it. The simple fact is a Radeon 9800 will outperform a 5900 in every catagory. So what are your reasons for going with the 5900?

I just have to say that in all of the ATI vs NVIDIA threads that I have seen here, your's has been the most decent reply. You have given me faith in the internet having decent people on it again :cool:

@ANova: **** off and let the man decide how he's spending his money. It's not a) Your decision or b) your business.

Not sure if I can be botherd to Upgrade my 9800pro 256mb just yet..

[ForeverUnknown]

Not sure if I can be botherd to Upgrade my 9800pro 256mb just yet..

if i had that card right now, i wouldnt

[eversor]

sorry... wrong thread

[Arrowhead]

Anova, my reason for getting the 5900 was becuase i only paid 90 pounds for it, 90POUNDS!!! can you put that into perspective!!!! and no it doesnt get beaten on every test by the 9800. Besides if your trying to pit the 9800XT against a standard 5900 it would be unfair. Try a 5950Ultra and come back to me :)
