You are incredibly naive by making such statments.

You do relise that 6 months after you buy those 7600's, someone is going to say "7800..... rubbish.... 8800 sli is next...."

Im just teasing the Insane benchmarkers round here... Heck im happy with my S478 setup, until upgrading shows any decent speed increases in the real world i aint changing... Can u really tell the difference between a game running at 40fps r 120fps??? apart from the fact it'll cost u near €1000 to reach the latter??

For me keeping current is fun...i've got more money then sense!

Meh just wait for the r520 XT PE whatever or the 7800 Ultra and they will be just as powerful with some extra features and probably cheaper overall.

ATI R520 scores 10K+ in 3Dmark05

"Fudo" to beat two 6800 Ultra SLI


By Fuad Abazovic not in Old Taipei: Monday 06 June 2005, 19:40
DESPITE WHAT people were claiming, the G70 will score better than the 7800. The card never got the 7800 suffix based on its 3Dmark05 score and if it was number would end up significantly bigger. It's actually going to be quite better but still not as good as the "Fudo" R520.

We got some numbers from this card and it turns out that R520 scores more than 10000 in 3Dmark05. We still don't know its clock speeds but we know the score. For what we know Nvidia can not mach this with G70.

This is actually even better or equal to two 6800 Ultra cards in SLI which kinds of makes it looks ridiculously fast. Imagine R520 in Crossfire, what ATI "cool chap" described as "Coolest technology ever" could do? Just double the number please.

No question that R520, Fudo will be fast the only questions remains are when is it going to be out and when it will actually be available. We will hopefully found out more soon. µ

crossfire will rock . i think thats the way to go next
