I'm sure some of you are already aware, but I just got the email notification. I need to build a new pc soon... mine is ancient.

I am thinking about getting the 2600 or maybe i will go for the bigboy. Anyone got info on the pricing of the 2600 XT and also benchmarks? I am really interested in this card. I need to build a new dx10/dual core system soon. i'm trying to keep the total cost to around $1,000

The only one of a few benchmarks I can find so far. And that isn't even the 1GB version...

None on the 2600 that I could find.

yeah, i'm a longtime member of www.ocforums.com and they have lots of 2900 benchmarks, but i was looking for the 2600's. it looks like they wont hit the market untill the 2nd half of 2007.

Read this before you buy any AMD/ATI combos.

Nvidia is due to release a new graphics card beyond the 8800 ultra and Intel is rolling out a new chip set and is cutting the price of their chips in half July 22. Not looking good for AMD/ATI.

can anyone say coup de grace. they are trying to make amd/ati bankrupt lol. i cant remember the last time the cpu/videocard wars were this onesided

nVidia is looking at releasing a 8900 and 9200...


Never wait on tech or you will wait forever...

8800GTS would be a better choice than ATI at the moment.

yeah your pretty much right. but luckily i am broke so i just have to wait involuntarily untill i have some cash. hopefully by then prices will drop on stuff. the tables seem to have turned. AMD was supposed to be better for overclocking and heat management, but it seems like Intel are going for the kill with their dual core processors sofar... same with nvidia... ATi and AMD are taking a longass time to respond and they are losing some loyal buyers.
