 They had the card for a long time... One of the reasons they provided for delaying the cards was to deliver superb drivers.
And to tell you the truth, after seeing the benchmarks, I do feel like a fanboi, even with the crappy Vista drivers and all. |

there ya go , dont spew your fanboy crap on forums . |
How is he a fanboy? Just cause he was smart and bought a card that actually works? Who the fuck cares if it doesn't or does perform...the fact it needs a nuclear reactor to use the fuckin thing is ridiculous especially with the shit performance and price. Kinda funny your calling him a fanboy yet your jumping in the fanboyism and defending ATI 
And oh NOEZ he's the lose cause you can't google on your own? |

Dude, first, creating the drivers was only one of the reasons AMD pushed the release date back. Second, nVidia's drivers for Vista ARE NOT MATURE, as in COMPLETE CRAP! nVidia has stated that the current drivers are not optimized for performance at compile time, so how am I a fanboi for pointing out that when nV starts optimizing it will completely outdwarf that R600 crap?
KrAzY-KaMeL, damn man, I feel the same! I had my doubts when I ordered the 8800GTX, but not I'm relieved...

there is a driver conflict. because 2900 is showing a lot better results at resolution 2560x*** (sorry, mistaked with the 1920 one) than others, which is a little bit utopic resolution for us, right? but in normal resolutions it's not that great
review sites are saying the card is stuck behind drivers atm.
yes

This thread is lol.
Wether or not ATI's drivers are shit and the card will run better once they sort the drivers does'nt really matter.
Unless they can do something with the drivers that blows the 8800 out of the water it will be to little to late.
Even if they can make it on a par with the gtx its still 6 months to late.

Yeah Leo, I'm very relieved also. When you think about it, the 8800GTX must have broken some record for maintaining the performance crown for the longest period of time. What is it? 7 months and running and it's still yet to be outclassed. That's crazy! Especially in the Graphics card market.
I can now commend all those people who bought it in November during it's launch as they've had 7 months of gaming at it's best.

Well, the 8800Ultra should outperform it, but lol, it's just an overclocked 8800GTX...

While I'll agree it's simply cause ATI didn't put anything out. I personally think nvidia put the card out even though it had broken drivers cause they secretly knew ATI wasn't gunna be quick about getting their shit out. So with the release of the 8800 I'm sure they took quite a bit of the ATI population. That's just my theory though. |

Just read the review on gamespot, man, single 8800gtx even beats TWO fastest r600 cards in crossfire at certain tests. Sure the drivers aren't mature yet I guess, but I tought this card was going to be MUCH faster.
Anyways, I'm so glad I got an 8800gtx. Suck me ATI lovers, I never went wrong with nVidia.
