They have already stated it will be less than the 7800gtx 512, and will beat it in every benchmark.

I seem to recall reading somewhere that Crossfire will support 4 cards far easier than nVidia's SLI solution - summat to do with the way it's a hardware solution rather than partially software...

I shall see if I can find where I read that again and post details if I can...

what about nVidia's next card? the G71 (7900 Ultra)

32 Pipes clocked at 550mhz Core and 1800mhz Memory

Will that be creamed?

ATi have already proven that have more pixel pipelines doesn't necessarily result in a faster card. The X1800 XT has 8 less pipes than the 7800 GTX and yet beats it most tests.

I guess it's similar to Intel vs AMD, where more clock speed does not equal better performance.

Then why post in here? If you have no input what so ever, it makes no sense to even post in here.
