very promising indeed.

Hmm.. according to Anandtech http://www.anandtech.com/video/showdoc.aspx?i=2556

The additional tests that we've run help to solidify our assessment of ATI's situation with the X1000 line. Our tests show that the high end ATI cards handle enabling antialiasing better than NVIDIA cards overall. The X1600 XT fairly consistently performs much worse than the 6800 GT and a little better than the 6600 GT. The X1300 Pro doesn't perform nearly as well as the 6600 GT in our tests (though it costs nearly the same), doesn't perform at playable framerates over 1024x768 in high quality modes, and enabling antialiasing is simply not an option.

Basically, the only barrier to getting the ATI cards is price... if you already have a 7800 GT/GTX, a 6600 GT/6800 GT, don't empty your wallets for these cards just yet... they're so not worth it. You're only getting like a few FPS advantages, and only in some games.

ATI should have at least lower their price since they are already behind the market...

why ATI opted for 16 pipelines instead of 24?? Does ATI pressured to release a less stellar Vid. Card because of the X-Box 360?? ATI claimed that the X-Box 360 has 48 pipelines and a 512 MB of memory. http://www.xbox.com/en-US/xbox360/factsheet.htm

Tsk..Tsk..Tsk..looks like ATI completely put PC Gamers as an after thought.

murag 24pipes naman ang 520

@ koto - The New X1800 XT (R520) hold its candle when it comes to benchmark figures even though its less 8 pipelines compared to Nvidia's 7800 GTX; the X1800 XT also has 2 type of Vid cards - the 256 MB & a 512 MB of memory.

naa na sila problema sa yield nila maong jutay rag pipelines. o di ba mga reject na sa mga gihimo nila nga x-box 360. basig inig ka human na nila ug supply ug parts sa x-box 360 makakita na unya ta ug 48 pipilines nga video card.

matay sa Quake 4.....gi bitin man ang 24 pipleines sa Nvidia sa ATI. Read the link: http://www.theinquirer.net/?article=27236
