Elias said:The hype was really spread around in the forums - I haven't heard ATI be anything but cautious about their new architecture.
revan said:Their conclusion is eerily similar to PCGamers conlcusion in their preview of the 5800Ultra, minus any dustbuster comments.
Diseaseboy said:I don't see this as a good thing at all for ATI. I'm sure Nvidia will release a 512meg 7800GTX with a faster clock before X-mas. ATI doesn't have a chance. This is starting to look like another "Nv30" situation- but the question remains if ATI can pull out of it as fast as Nvidia did. Good thing ATI has the XBox 360.
However this time around ATI decided to just not bother with us and go with pro-ATI media, or rather media that would paint a more favorable picture of its latest graphics architecture. They made it very clear that we did not make the cut, as we have written some articles about CrossFire, R520 and ATIs financial situation that were not apparently not appreciated. Hence weve not been briefed by ATI, nor did we sign an NDA, or have been invited to the launch event, so basically they decided to cut us off.
Unfortunately for ATI we have other sources to get detailed information from, for example the board partners that will be manufacturing and selling the majority of these new graphics cards. Obviously because were not bound by any NDA or other agreement with ATI weve worked hard to get you some benchmark results prior to the launch which is scheduled for the end of this month. To ATI wed like to comment that it is a two-way street really, wed like to be briefed about your products and have early access to them, if that requirement is met we will have no issues with signing and adhering to NDAs. By cutting us off however weve just been given a new incentive to work harder to break the news when we get a chance, in our usual no holds barred fashion.
Shifra said:Gibbo over at OCUK also said that ATI has not yet released any X1800XTs to the press yet.
tornadotsunamilife said:The website says it got its information from others (board partners etc.), but i definitley agree that the article does seem fishy.
Netrat33 said:Also like the machine specs they gave..
OH WAIT..there are none.
So the GTX could have been a pimped out rig while the r520 on a Duron 1.2 processor.
wait for NDA for real reviews.
bildad said:They did give specs at the end. Asus A8N Delux, FX57, 1 GB RAM yadda yadda
deathBOB said:I believe it. Why make stuff up? They would just lose credibility when the real reviews came in. Whereas if they tell the truth...

^eMpTy^ said:The cards are in reviewers hands...that much we know...there's no reason not to believe these benchmarks...my only concern is they don't show HDR/PS3.0 performance specifically...and that could turn out to be a big deal...
PRIME1 said:The R520 was "supposed" to come out in June and compete against the 6xxx series. However the delay means that they will be out in October and were probably never meant to compete above the 7xxx series.
Netrat33 said:It's in "some" reviewers hands...not this site with it's "benches"
Netrat33 said:Uh...what? where did you read that? (competeing against 6xxx)
Netrat33 said:To be fair too if these benches are a good glimpse of what to come: Got to remember that when nvidia released the 6800 series and then ati a week later the x800 series, a x800pro could beat an ultra. One or two driver set later it put it back in it's place.
