And Nvidia owns ATI in Doom3.

WA2 said:ATi still owns Nvidia in any single card setup. I wish ATi would get off their *** with the AMR.
WA2 said:I have not seen a SINGLE modded 6800 able to match a modded 800/850. And the "tiny bit" is suignuificant enouh for my point of single card speed.
{PMS}fishy said:Uh, the fastest 6800 Ultra on the ORB in 03 is faster than both the fastest x800xt pe and x850xt pe.
{PMS}fishy said:Last I checked the 6800s were spanking the ATI counter parts.
Granted the 9500/9700/9800 killed all of the FX cards, ATI really got it stuck to them when the 6600/6800 cards came out.

woooo
there's a looot of fanboyism in here right now!
albeit, the x850 series is slightly faster than the 6800 ultra.. but how much longer did it take to come out?
i think nvidia took the higher path of further developing the G70 instead of doing small little updates to the 6800 series to make it *slightly* faster
i think everyone needs to get off their fanboy soapboxes... and realize both sets of cards are GOOD

Are 1000 points in some benchmark worth arguing over?
No.
Just go with whatever floats your boat.
Avg said:According to the Inquirer AMR will use a external connector, from other articles I've seen online AMR will be released along with their new card sometime this summer or early fall.

However, ATI decided to use an external connector simple because it didn’t want to release new series of Multi VPU capable cards powered with an internal connector. If it had done that, it would have ended up upsetting many customers who bought X800 or X850 cards. So ATI views this as an easy move for its customers to dual cards and can offer it to every single X800 and X850 card owner. A smart move for upgrade market.
