Ultra mmm hope R520 still owns Nvidia's 7800 Ultra. Wait, i thought Nvidia won't introduce Ultra version so they consider GTX as Ultra. I have seen that on the article somewhere. Well correct me if I am wrong bout this.etekberg said:rumor has it that the 7800 gtx is actually not the high end card, so that nVidia can have an ace in the hole over ATI (which may be one possibility why the R520 is no where in site).
So the timeline and performance might just be
7800GTX < ATIR520 < 7800Ultra
Watching the competition is fascinating to me. Wish I worked for one of them.

Seems to me like the nvidia fan-boys got scared of the supposed 32 pipes of the supposedly faster R520 and decided to up and invent a new nvidia product.
I was under the impression that the GTX was the ultra, nvidia just changed the naming scheme.
This rumored 7800ultra is no match for the XI800 XT Platinum Tritium Uranium Edition card that I heard ATi is coming out with!!! (sarcasm for those who are too dense to fully grasp it)

3dmark05 does stress ur video card. Doom 3 @ Ultra high setting with 1600x1200 is another way to stress ur video card, same with farcry too. HL2 and CS:S seem like it stress the cpu more than video card. O well enjoy ur 6800 GT for next 3 or 4 yrs hopefully lol.pandora's box said:im still waiting for a game to stress my 6800GT...
BigDaddy85 said:since i have 9800 pro 128 mb flashed to XT, I am happy with it on my sys. Actually, I am plannin to build R520 crossfire edition or R540's in next few months.
trudude said:Lemme ask this question...
Are we even sure that the 7800GTX is NVIDIA's next gen card? I would argue that this is simply a refresher card like the X850XT PE and ATi knows this and that is why they are holding back.
