Good news for me! New drivers coming before I even get my new card! I hope these drivers are ready by tomorrow but somehow I doubt that, lol.



To whoever said nvidia doesn't list specifics because they're so ahead... come on. That's clearly not the reason why. Nvidia has a good top end but the leader of the high end market is ATI right now.
You getting 2900 XT?

And good job to AMD! Drivers are FINALY looking up for your graphics cards.

For the purposes of this thread, lets assume they're telling the truth, and you'll see performance gains at least half the % they suggested.

This is good. It sounds like ATI is managing available memory and shader power better, since the low end cards will get such massive boosts.

Now, when they say improvements for X1950 XTX that means my X1950 XT right? it's the same thing except for the GDDR4 ram which reduces power consumption by at least 10W.
