When running at 2.5GHz, the 3DMark06 score ended at 23.768, so we were thrilled to see such a good score coming from two 512MB cards. This showed the clear potential of this four core processor marchitecture, but the helter skelter ride happened after we overclocked the processor to 3.0GHz.

When clocked at 3.0 GHz and equipped with two overclocked HD2900XT cards in CrossFire, Agena FX or single-core Barcelona smashed an index of 30,000 3DMarks 06. Yes, you’ve read it right - the barrier of 30,000 was passed...

Yeah good score. But I'd take it with a pinch of salt. It is the inquirer after all

But.... but I like nVidia... Anyways I won't be building a new computer before several years from now. Gonna upgrade my 939 to the max (FX-60 and dual 8800GTS 640MB) before I jump to a new generation. Wanna keep my money for my crazy project of going to England study at Cambridge.

I know i am. AMD all the way (not that it really matters anymore). What would be cool is if they joined together on a single joint project to create the mythical SUPERCHIP so they could talk to GOD.























But seriously, it would be cool to see what they could come up with if they actually worked together.

I dont know. They would kinda have the monopoly so like any company they would just want to make the more money the easiest way possible (Microsoft, gas companies,etc.?), so we might end up with not much good... But I agree that theoretically if they united their forces in such an attempt could bring forth some really nice things.

That's the way I see it! AMD blew it buying ATI when the money could have gone to manufacturing and R&D. We'll soon find out.
