If I get an x1950xtx crossfire setup, ya think it would be as good or maybe just a tiny bit slower then a g80?

G80=?

I'm planning on taking this route (one x1950XTX), even with the R600 coming. Even if a single R6000 is uber-more-powerful than the x1950XTX, so what? The x1950XTX will probably STILL own every game out there right now at my settings (1280x960, 2-4x AA), and until we start seeing tangable games that REQUIRE DX10, it's kinda pointless to jump on the bandwagon and shell out another $600+.Endurancevm said:However, i decided to get a single X1950XTX until R600. Your call.

this is exactly my thinking also, but since i have 80 days left for my eVGA step up, i might as well stepup to the g80.Scyles said:I say forget DX10 until there are games that require it, which will probably be in a year or more. By then, you probably won't be wanting to use the first G80's.

6800
Geforce6800
7800
Geforce7800
Now I'm given this "G80"
I think Well G obviously stands for Geforce
So Geforce 8800 ... wait a second.
I see no G88! (at this point my tiny mind is sent into a chaotics spiral into hell) and if it were referring to simply the 8 thousand series why would it be G80 as opposed to G8 or G8000. Are they jumping to G80thousand!
(has a stroke)
So as you can see Nvidia's deviation from their normal pattern is what completely fried my circuitry. Thanks for the enlightenment.
I agree that people shouldn't necessarily jump on the 8800 bandwagon when they already have a good card or if they don't have an ultra high-res monitor to take advantage of it, but he's talking about buying Crossfired X1950 XTX's brand new instead of an 8800 GTX. The XTX's might be slightly faster (and might even be slower), but would be more expensive, use almost twice as much power, require a motherboard that's Crossfire capable, lose to the 8800 GTX in games that don't show huge gains from Crossfire, and aren't futureproof for more than a year or so. This is not a smart buying decision, and the only reason to do it is if someone really couldn't wait a few weeks for prices on GTX's to come down to MSRP. That's assuming the 8800 series won't be a hard launch like the 7800's and 7900's. If it is, then there's really no justifiable reason to choose Crossfired XTX's over an 8800 GTX.strikeout said:dont current GPUs in XF and SLI pwn current games so hard G80 doesnt even matter? I just got my 7950gt and it plays my 20007 very well. I think i will wait as i dont like spending for nothing. I dont see C&C3 or CS3 or BF3 requiring A G80 core. Hell maybe in 8-10 months there will be a G81 Card that is faster,smaller,less power AND dx10. Imagine that.
