i'm probably waiting and taking one or two 1gb xtx version, because 1gb may be pretty much required for new upcoming games that use large textures. for example quake wars megatexture technology using a texture of 32768×32768 pixels. - i dunno if g80's 768mb is enough to draw it.
yes

I believe Quake Wars uses streaming technology for their megatexture, as with everything else. So no need for 1gb on your video card.

they say ati's card owns the gtx. truth, or just crappy reviewers? |
....like benchmarking the game on FarCry is going to fuckin prove anything 
The only graphic intensive games they used is mabye SC and Prey. Shoulda used Quake 4 and FEAR |

what about oblivion probably the most graphic intensive pc game made to date? |
Eh I hate that game so it never comes to mind. but ya that'd be a good one too. I still think FEAR still beats it when you turn soft shadows on. God thats a GPU killer |

The questions is, can they make the right drivers, and is a special game support needed for peak performance? If the latter is true, than the card is doomed in the long run because writing special code just for this line of cards is nonsense. Some will do it, sure, but in the long run they are doomed.

Im just hope they get SOMETHING fixed. I'm not buying the card but I'm an AMD cpu fan regardless of intel kicking the bloody shit out of their X2's. If/When I upgrade to AMD they have better damn well get there shit together and get a new fucking structure. Buddy of mine said they got a new structure for later this year..I hope he wasn't bsing me.

Well, have they announced anything one the planned R620? I doubt it will be a major shift in architecture thought...

Oh, lol, sorry... Well, they announced a quad core CPU didn't they? Again, late and from what I've read, again it will fail to impress.

those are already out. Socket L's. But those aren't the ones my buddy was talking about. Waiting for him to get on so I can ask him about it. |
