Dgiti-Life's Review is up

[TheGreatGrapeApe]

Some generic screenies (lots of AA/AF comparisons [dizzyingly so]), and fairly detailed look (especially at the chip and memory). Uses the WHQL drivers for GF6800, not eh 61.11, and the beta 6.44 (4.5?) for the ATI. Surprising if they used the 4.5 why couldn't they enable Temporal AA only through Registry hack? Guess the betas didn't come with the new control panel.

Interesting that the X800XT does do better in the COD even here (no vsyc issues now ).

Seems to have difficulties OCing the XT, but doing ok on the Pro. Good back and forth on the benchies, and interesting to see the GF6800 take a HalfLife2 benchmark win for 1024x768 with 16x AF, but not sure if this is optimized or not.

Just some more info from a trusted objective source IMO.

Thanks for the link Checking out Driverheaven right now. Nice looking pics. Now if I could buy X800Pro for $300 US. I would buy it.

And a third one for me! I think the X800 PRO will be the next price/performance winner! I can't wait to see how nVidia will compete with this card.

I have to read this one now. HardOCP, like in the R9600XT/FX5700U test, really did a good job of comparing the cards in their non- apples to apples way. I'd hate to only see those scores on every site, but I am glad they do it that way. The Pro in farcry with max settings and 1280x1024 with AA/AF, looks to be a nice value card. Those settings on my system would be far from what I'd consider playable.

nice presentation too - makes THG look positively antiquated.
