And they have the fastest avaliable card in the X1800XT since the 7800 GTX 512 mysteriously immediately dropped off the market post "hard-launch". They are making money, its more of a are they setting themselves up for making money in the future by now having to release a X1800 deriviative in...
I have a ATi Mobility x300 graphics card in an IBM T43 Laptop. I'm wondering if there are any drivers I can use besides the scarcely updated IBM drivers. Would Omegas work, or is there a way to get official ATi drivers running?
I meant 7xxx may effect its pricing, so wait till Tuesday. It probably won't though so here's probably what you should get. 6600GT < $200 X800 < $156 6800.
Dude while it is imaginary at this point, its no match for my imagination. I dream at like 100 fps and seriously they look much better than doom 3 OR half-life 2. Yea... I'm going to ignore the purpose of the poll and just rate the thread. F, wait till the card is out before you make threads...
If you find a $200 X800, buy that, its better than a 6600 GT and pretty equal to a 6800. Of course if you found a regular 6800 that is $156, thats your ticket. You may be interested in waiting till tomorrow to see what comes out and changes 6xxx pricing.
X600 AIW Performance is around that of a 9600 XT. So no they wont be equal. You need a X800 Pro AIW, a X800 XL AIW or a X800 XT AIW (I think those all exist...) to surpass your current performance. I think there may be a X700 Pro AIW as well, and that should be aproximately equal.
