great review, real thorough except for the void of 3D06

but very nice

also, on page 13 (power consumption) you say gts instead of gtx at the bottom iirc

cheers!

Why did it loss in 3dmark05 I suppose I haven't read to many reviews on this new card as of yet(Don't ask me why I don't know). From a card that does so fantastic in 06 you think it would do a unbelievable job in 05. I also think that if you have Crossfire X1900 you good to go for sure now with the exception of SM 4.0 it seems to hang with a singal 8800 very well.

Do you think the 8800 would have scored better with an NVidia based chipset? I always had horrible luck running Ati on an nvidia chipset

nice review btw

it's 3dmark03 and 05. 3dmark06 is 3dmark05 + cpu score so not that useful imo
