Really? the stats I've seen give a speed improvement anywhere from 52% - 92% over the X1950XTX  _________________

the X1950XTX is a PREVIOUS (you know what i mean) generation card, it would be embarrasing and plain retarded if it wouldn't be much more powerfull
that aside, it's impressive what dx10 cards can and will be able to do yes

The review on Anandtech reckons an 8800GTX is faster than a Quad SLI rig at DX9 _________________ The Pancreas of S.T.F.U. | Never take life too seriously - nobody gets out alive anyway. Disco_jim: um..... I have no excuse. | Chips: Thank the Beef | Rev Dr: Beef, I think i wee'd a little

the 88000gtx does look mighty tempting, though i think ill wait till the obvious 8900gtx is out, be cheaper and cooler (heatwise  ), less bugs in drivers etc by then. _________________

I'll be sticking with my 7900 until a actual DX10 game comes out /when I get vista.
Besides ive only just bought it .
By the time proper DX10 games are out (crysis ), Geforce 8 cards are going to be much cheaper anyway.
As for brands, normally you just pay for more features/pre-overclocking. A cheap brand normally can be overclocked quite alot with a decent aftermarket cooler. At the end of the day, if a game requires a 6600 say, it wont matter what brand it is.

Don't get me wrong, I'm buying two 7950's when the price drops  _________________ The Pancreas of S.T.F.U. | Never take life too seriously - nobody gets out alive anyway. Disco_jim: um..... I have no excuse. | Chips: Thank the Beef | Rev Dr: Beef, I think i wee'd a little
