sounds promising, sounds like theres a yield issue re. yields good enough for 32 pipes maybe, good to see the source of this info coming from a site which know there stuff too, if the 32 pipes can be made in sufficient quantities it looks good, cant wait for benchmarks, wouldnt surprise me if...

never stops amazing me how many threads go downhill after a few posts lol

ps im not an ati !!!!!! lol, i want the r520/580 to bring something to the table for no other reason that we the end consumer will benefit from nvidia having competition, for example maybe having to release a 7800 Ultra earlier than they would like to and hopefully keep a track on launch prices...

amazing in forums how many come out with the "i dont give a shit" kinda comments and moan about being sick about numerous threads etc but still take the time to open the thread, read the previous posts and then spend half hour writing chapter and verse to add to the very thing theyve moaned...

brilliant, thanks for that, clears that up just need to decide whether i go leadtek £197 (would it be even worth replacing their very good cooling) or xfx £205 (have heard the NV5 solution is better than stock) and oh' whether the extra £25 for xfx/nv5 combo would we worth it over leadtek

anyone ? please :)

Notice stock coolers cover the memory chips, Does NV5 arctic solutions cooler also do this and is there enough room to fit copper ramsinks, is it possible to remove cooler on leadtek and fit AS5 paste ?

just followed F.E.A.R tweak guide over at tweakguide.net, along with defragging hard drive and tweaking ATI tray tools & disabling vsync the demo runs smoothly-ish at 1024x768x32 and 4AA 4AF @ 85Hz, 9700 Pro @ 355/650, even ok during hectic combat, runs real smooth 800x600 but noticeable drop in...
