Wow the 9800 pro is cheap as chips now...R520 must be right round the corner.

I'm Gonna get the nvidia 7800 .It runs twice as fast as 2 6800 ultras in sli mode. But I'll have to sell a few hundred copys of the Big Issue first:bigcry:

Where on earth did you hear that rubbish? :rolleyes: The one 3dmark result I saw showed it as less than 8000 in 3dm05 and even that is contested. You'll be waiting a few years before you see anything that's "twice as fast as" 2 6800U's in SLI.

Pf its not worth going from my 6800Ultra to a 7800. time to jump a generation me thinks.

Same here.

Hopefully if the R520 lives up to the expectations in the real world, that will beat at least two of an x850xt.

I was set on buying an R520 next month depending on the price ( no way i'd spend > £300, 350 on it though).

However, right now I think it will be a waste of money, I'm going to hold out for a card supporting WGF 2.0 (I'm talking about the R600 here...) when I do a build of a socket m2 system. I can't see why anybody with a 6800u or X850xt will get the R520.

You're talking rubbish, go re-read that page and post where it say's it's double the speed of 2 6800 Ultra's in SLI, it "infers" it might match or better two 6800GT's but there's absolutely nothing in the shape of a benchmark, I'd suggest you read these things properly before coming out with such outlandish claims.

:blush:

Was ment ot say it matches 2 not doubles 2. I got confused between the gt and ultras. But maybe 2 of these beasts in sli mode might achieve double. But it's not bad haveing 1 card that can achieve what 2 do
