But i don't know how reliable they are. Tecchannel.de is not really a good review site.

No AA/AF benchmarks either... Is it saying that those features are disabled in the drivers at present?

Yes. Tecchannel had early beta drivers and this drivers cannot activate aa and af. :(

:hmm: do those coolers take up 2 slots too?

It's hard to tell, but if you look at the cooler that's closeset to the ports on the backplane, it looks like the cooler housing is flush with that very last cap. So I would say one slot only. JMHO :)

It's Scheduled for end Nov - first days December.

This card doesn't surprise me. It will be cost $400 - $500 i think, and currently Radeon 9800 XT can reach 800 - 1000 points more in 3DMark03.

If we check specs, with 16 pieplines should pass Radeon 9800 XT for a huge margin... it's a probe that the architecture isn't as efficient as ATi or nVidia inclusive.

Do you really play 3DMark03 the whole day? :rolleyes:

3DM03 is very unimportant. More important are real games.

Yes, but 3Dmark03 it's a kind of measure. ;)

I think XGI show these results because is relevant; relevant in the way how it performs compared to other benchies ( game demos or other benchs ).

Maybe they perform bad in Half Life 2 compared to competence ( for example ) but in 3Dmark 03 have an acceptable performance.

Remember nVidia's launch campaing ? they give more importance to Doom 3 results than 3Dmark results.

Every company show what most benefits them :)

Where are you getting the cost from? Sorry, your ass doesn't count.
Also these are early drivers.

Have your read the word I THINK in the sentence ?

I'm not saying the price i'm posting it's 100% sure, it's just an estimate because i know multi chip solutions aren't cheap.

Well, tecchannel.de mentiones the pricetag of 400 EUR on the first page of the review.

I don't know what body-parts are necessary to convert that figure to USD ;)
 
Whoa... thats some major juice they're gonna require... two molex connectors!? I thin that the box will come with some PSU requirements and just not the old "PIII 600, WindowsME, yadda yadda" :D

I'm okay with that...I just wanted to know where you were getting the figures.

I've seen €400 somewhere mentionned as the expected price, can't remember where though.

Yes, it looks like it's going to be tight though.
 
Die Karte besitzt einen massiven kupfernen Kühlkörper und zwei blau beleuchtete, recht laute Lüfter.

"The card has a massive copper heatsink and two blue lightened up, really loud fans."

Sorry, no FlowFX for me :D
