ATI X1800-All That and a Bucket of Chicken Wings!

The R520, Radeon X1800 generation will have sixteen pixel shaders, eight vertex shaders, sixteen texture units, will be able to render sixteen Back ends, will compare sixteen Z compare Units and will be limited to 512 treads.

Wow! Sounds good to me! I always did like ATI better than nVidia. I just don't know why, but nVidia products dislike me. I've already fried two nVidia cards within the last 3 months, neither of which was cheap! The things just don't stand up to my brand of gaming.

Link to nVidia's Weak Attempt

From your own link to Nvidia's supposed weak attempt.

24 pixel shaders [ATI only has 16]
8 vertex shaders[Same as ATI]
24 textured pixels per clock[ATI only does 16]
24 Z compares per clock[ATI only does 16]
ETC.....

You can buy the better Nvida card now, but not the ATI.....

Nividia attempt s weeak lol compared to it last cards it super fast it like 2ice the speed of the 6800gt

I personally own the xfx 7800gtx and it hammers any game stable as anything and only thing that would let me down is not having enough juice to power my system....

ATI have got a good card there but it has taken them so long to take it out that most ppl intrested in it i imagine went for the 7800gtx (i know i did)

as soon as ati either prove to being faster or get bigger share hold then nividia will simply bring out the ultra to whoop it butt

and this is coming from an ati fan.....less trouble with my new card than i did we my ati.
