People should not be suckered in by the fact that this is supposodly nvidia's "ultra" version of the card, it's being sold for a premium price but when r520 launches id expect a new ultra version with 32 pipelines to come out to counter it, which relegates this board to the gt position.

I agree 10000%... I mean I was looking forward to this card seeing as I am an Nvidia Fanboy...but DAMN, its SO depressing to me. I mean if this is Nvidia's Flagship card...(ultra?!HAHAH) then ATI is going to blow them out of the GPU Scene. I mean there is NO WAY they expect this thing to compete with the r520, so LIKE I said in the other thread...why? Just WAIT for the Ultra or get the r520...dont drop $600 + (single card) or $1,600+ (SLi) for this card...not worth it IMO.

Anways, as far as your pics geRV, that looks DAMN good...you ever post what FPS u are getting in BF2 with those graphics? Cause damn dude that looks NICE. Never knew a ATI could pull that off j/k

Usually hovers around that mark on that map, obviously differs depending on map and whats going on.

Damn right man,

Instead of upgrading by buying, I am thinking about flashing bios to X800XTPE, and overclocking to the xtpe speeds - with proper cooling, of course...but this wont be for at least another 2 years.

Why get a X850 when you can get a 7800GTX for $50 more?

7800GTX destorys the competition in BF2.

I wouldn't base too much around those numbers, the retail release runs a lot smoother and seems to load alot quicker than the demo, all that stuttering crap has disappeared for me with the full version.
