Seen the PICs before, but when I originally <A HREF="http://forumz.tomshardware.com/hardware/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&p=419073#419073" target="_new">posted this (some more pics)</A>, the link to PCOnline was down (likely due to all the hardlinking) so only the HardTecs4U was available. Same pics, but nice to see some benchmarks.
Better than the X800SE and GF6800LE in most cases.

kinda suxs though that we dont have a "real" competitor for this card
from what i see the x700 is close but in most cases the 6600 gets the upper hand.
cant wait for the card to be available in my region very good price/performance ratio

Well really the cards are all within range of each other and have different strengths. I can pick benchmarks and reviews and show the X700PRO, GF6600GT or X700XT being the best card, they are really that close. The GF6600GT's strengths are really in the most 'normal' situations, and the X700XT wins in heavy load but lower res situations (and at higher AA/AF situations [where the GF6600GT seems to fall off the map]), and the PRO seems to take advantage of the 256mb of memory in some cases of high resolution high AA/AF despite slower speeds. I really want to see a Gainward GF6600GT 256mb vs Abit X700XT 256mb shootout, because that would really be the choice for that market as long as the premium isn't too much.
Personally, if I build before X-mas (IF the mobos get here!) I'm thinkig of getting a plain-jane GF6600 which sux for the average person IMO, but really I think it would be the perfect "Waiting for the R5xx/NV5x" card. The Gigabyte card with all the goodies is ~$130US on NewEgg. If you want this card for longer than 6-9 months I'd say forget it, but to last until the summer, it'd be fine. Of course it would be nice to see plain-jane X700price to compare to as well, but early boards are expensive.

Actually I didn't miss it, it came up just as I was leaving work. They didn't post it till just about 5pm MTN.

I've got a few questions since I'm probably going to get this card. Are they pretty sure thats it due at the end of November? and Should I pre-order this? Because I can and I'm willing too.

Whoa, wait, I didn't realize these had 128-bit memory... maybe I'll get a 6800nu. I waste of money?

Meh, nevermind, I'm not that hardcore of a gamer. I'll just get 6600GT AGP.

Newegg has the 6600GT AGP in stock, retail.

Nice but $245 is too pricey for me.

<b>A mind is a terrible thing</b>

 

[blackphoenix77]

Is $245 too much for that card? Is xFX a quality card? I see it only got 3 out of 5 stars. Too bad it has 2 DVI outs. Will having a DVI->VGA converter give less quality picture or performance?
