isnt the x1800xt faster? do they have 512mb version out yet?

which combo going to be faster: x180xt Crossfired or 7800gtx 512 SLI-ed?
 
I do not think the 7800gtx 512mb is out yet. As for which will be faster it is hard to tell because the 512mb 7800gtx suppose to be clocked real high. I would assume the 512mb 7800 being a little faster at start. x1800xt will last longer and run future titles better due to it's nicer features.

The XT 512 is out, but availability is scarce. The GTX 512 can be bought at mwave($799) and is being reported as faster than the xt. XT crossfire cards are not available, so who knows if its even going to compete with the SLI GTX.
 
Don't take this the wrong way but you are not well read on this topic apparently and that is ok . Here is the bottom line though to answer your question; wait for reviews and comparisons and read those. Also, you can rest assured that both companies will do their best to support and improve their respective platform and the good thing is this time that either way you go you will not be unhappy with either. From a strictly hardware standpoint there are differences a plenty and each will provide a positive experience. This is the best way to look at it and why [H]ard reviews focus on a gaming "experience" and both provide very good ones. Pick what you like and what appeals to you after reading about the positive and negatives.
 
I wouldn't pass judgement until it is actually launched and [H] or another site review it. My personal speculation is that the gtx's will be faster, but I have yet to see crossfired x1800xt's.
 
That is not for sale intill monday


People have gotten this card early cause some companys put it up on there site early, and charged a fuck load for it...

we will see monday what really happens
 
the 512 mb gtx will be faster in almost all games over the x1800xt if both are at stock speeds.
 
of course just speculation:

But I predict it will be about 15-20% faster than an x1800xt

how is this possible? x1800xt core is clocked at 700+mhz (vs. of the new 550mhz of gtx)

Its not about core speed or even pipelines, but a combination of several things.
