ati's answer to the ill fated gforce 8 is just around the corner and is to be released around jan 22nd '07. should retail for about $640US and the link i've provided will show u that it's currently beating the 8800gtx in all benches (real time game benches) 'cept that of bf2. which is said i and believe a compatibility issue with said card or drivers. that said all benches have yet to even run the r600 card with optimized drivers. so, when those cum out the r600 will just be the top dawg of gpu's once again!
