I think ATI will do no more than match the speed of the gtx this time around, then it will be a case of waiting for the R580! Nvidia have already won this round by getting their card out months ago!

My own history of 3d accelerators (afaik)

voodoo 2
voodoo 3
Geforce DDR
Geforce 2
Geforce 3
Geforce 4
Radeon 9800
Radeon X800 pro with arctic cooling and modded to PE

Next card will probably be green!

ah id say crossfire or the new series of ati graphics cards wont be as good as ati say but i dont think they will be as bad as nvidia are making out to be also. Id say equal to if not SLIGHTLY better than 7800GTX, but not much better

Looks like it will be launched on the 5th October. There is a countdown timer on ATI's website, http://www.ati.com/
Very cryptic though. d/t = V ?

9100+ 3dmark 05 sounds good to me!

More leakage from the ati camp.

I'm píssed off. Going to ignore all this bullshít for a few weeks till the hype dies off leaving only shining tech and benchmarks.
