8800GTX vs X1950XTX preliminary benchmarks out

http://www.dailytech.com/article.aspx?newsid=4812

Impressive, particularly on the power consumption considering the leap in performance.

Roll on R600

Very impressive. Goodness knows what R600 is going to be like if it can beat that

Ah, R600, where art thou to save your fallen comrade?

any prcing info? for 8800 and r600?

Very good numbers indeed. Wish there was a comparison to ATI's R600. Also not clear if they used XP or Vista RC1/2 for the OS. Either way, very good, very good numbers. Makes my present card look old and outdated.

One bad point though, that inch and a half longer. That's going to be a tight fit in the case.

o.O

*ahem* who found.

that's good news 8)

Allright, here it is for sale-

Was $625 when I looked at it 10 minutes ago, went back to get the url and it is 643.50.

I still have mine in the cart at $625, but they don't take paypal, and I have way too much sitting in that account.

Says 1-2 day processing, another 1-2 days to ship, just about the eighth.

Have seen rumored pricing ranging from $599 US to $799. At this point its hard to tell what it will really be priced at on e-tailers once they get actual stock in their hands. :?

Likely to be on the high end for a few weeks like the C2Ds were at first then settle down. Unless Nvidia has a nice stock of them going to vendors all at once right at release(unlikely). Oh well either way it looks to be a great card at least

Several sites set the LIST at $649 for GTX, and $499 for the GTS.

The core 2 duos actually came out of the launch at reasonable prices, except at newegg, which was WAY higher than the other street prices.

5 days later,most street prices were at or above the eggs price.

I bought my e6600 2 days after launch, at a good price, after my launch day order with Monarch fell through.

Difference here is I had the Benchies, ad nauseum, about how good the chip was. Multiple sites, in depth stuff. For ALL four processors against a lot of previous intel and AMD hot chips.

Here we are three (3) days from launch, and we got one bench against last generation games.

WHERE is all the pre launch publicity? Nvidia has been very quiet about this one.

The review isn't worthless. An 8800GTX is more closely related to a single X1950XTX than two of them; e.g. look at power consumption, PCIE slots used, cost etc. Of course, the more important long term comparison may be R600 vs G80, but that's a moot point for now.

Not true due to the fastest ATI crossfire with 2 gpu is on the 1900XTX's using CF. This setup is second in the chart and the 1950XTX is sixth. This setup also has about the same power requirements and soundly beats the 1950xtx.

Um, first off, crossfire X1950XTX is first on that chart. But, that is HL2 episode 1 at 1024x768 with no fsaa even. Those numbers don't mean a thing. A single X800XL is putting out almost 100fps in that chart.
True but as Synergy6 pointed out 2 X1950XTX's would require more power than 1 8800GTX. Two X1950XTX's may have a higher price than 1 8800GTX Nvidia. I was only stating theres a better 2 card setup to compare against the 8800GTX. On the other hand 2 X1900XTX's should be priced about the same as the 8800GTX and have close to the same power requirements.

We have not had the launch nor one review, yet you've already declared an undisputed IQ champ huh?
