link in the thread is broken?!! i had to copy paste it.

They intend to do any higher end cards with this tech? potential for a 6800 sounds nice to me.

Someone's getting url and img tags confused

Certainly is impressive, nearly a 20% increase in framerate over stock!

Bit confused as to why they're playing with a chipset thats been out for yonks.
Like _fuss said, 6800 would of been better. But then that runs hotter. :/

sounds like a nice cheap gaming card!

Who says they won't suprise us and unveil an entire range of D.O.T. GFX cards...

Personally I like cos it's on black PCB, I need everything on black PCB!

Ehrm... don't want to be a smartass but what's the big deal about it?
I mean yea it's very nice oc but I own a Gainward AGP 6600GT and it clocks at 540/1150 with full warranty and it runs @ 50°C max... in summer.

I could easily pump this up more if I wanted to I guess.

Ooh, what a clever ares

I just wonder who'd buy this though? The market is saturated enough (the 'me too' article from not too long ago springs to mind) without adding to it. Why not innovate, instead of imitate?
