No real excuse for it though, if the performance is not upto par they should hold back till they have drivers that can cut the mustard.
The numbers ive seen for the 7800 are around 7900-8000 in 3dmark 2005, which obviously isn't faster than sli'd ultras.
Guess we'll see tomorrow what the story is though.

Single GTX is right around a 6800U SLI, sometimes beating it, sometimes not. It's right around 50% faster than a 6800U. 7800GTX SLI is pretty impressive though.
I'm interested to see what the R520 can do if it ever comes out. |
Well r520 has been "respun" to increase yields, it'll be out later this year and most likely have 32 pipelines which will give it a big boost over the gtx. Im assuming nvidia will come out with a 32 pipe card as well. As for sli, overall ati's crossfire seems to offer more in the longrun, more antialiasing modes plus tile based rendering.
I really think ati are a victim of their own success with the 9700, that came out and it was a massive turnaround in the market, before that there was no real mass demand for ati boards in the market, now there is and they're finding it harder to deliver, plus theyre making the graphics core for the xbox. Kind of the same situation nvidia was in with the nv30, they were doing the xbox gpu and things started slipping. Shoudl still be good to see how nvidia responds to the 32 pipe card. beer:
