Thats cheap as chips, I can see reasonable gaming machines at mid range prices built to order with plenty of profit

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

Where on earth did you hear that rubbish? 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.

[jtwn]

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.

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

[Monster Jedi]
