(haven't tried on for years) text/html 2005-09-30T15:27:25-05:00 Dave C http://www.hardwareanalysis.com/content/topic/49564/#330420 I still can't understand the cost of these cards. I shelled out the $$ for a Nvidia 6800 ultra last year, the card is nice, but you can buy a complete gaming console for half that. Can someone clue me in? What drives these prices so high? Is just rich kids, or middle age addicts like myself? text/html 2005-09-30T14:14:46-05:00 Jaime Castells http://www.hardwareanalysis.com/content/topic/49564/#330383 The 256MB version of that card does look to be an excellent value. I have yet to see any substantive comparrisons. There are some big questions that should be answered soon. For example, &quot;What's the real performance impact of the new memory control and 512bit ring?&quot; and &quot;How much advantage does 16 shader engines provide over 12?&quot; I'm very eager to see the benchmarks and read the reviews of real cards. text/html 2005-09-30T12:46:05-05:00 Jason Silverman http://www.hardwareanalysis.com/content/topic/49564/#0 Excellent info! I'm just a bit dissappointed that the X1600 won't be available right away, that was the one card that looks to have a good price/performance ratio but it might be in time for the holiday season.<br /> <br /> ---<br /> Jason Silverman
