Some notable quotes:

The record score of 15,738 in 3DMark03 was set using the default screen resolution of 1024x768 pixels with 32-bit color depth, as required by Futuremark for eligibility in Futuremark’s Hall of Fame. A record score of 33,484 was also set in Futuremark’s popular 3DMark2001 benchmark at the same resolution.

Scores in UT2004 (147 fps) and Tomb Raider (76 fps) were posted using the most demanding image quality settings commonly used by the gaming community: 1600x1200 pixels with 32-bit color depth using 4X anti-aliasing and 8X anisotropic filtering.

All applications were run on a system featuring an overclocked RADEON X800 XT Platinum Edition running at 715 MHz engine clocks and 639 MHz memory clocks, an overclocked Intel® Pentium® 4 Processor, 1 GB of DDR SDRAM, a 40 GB IDE hard drive, proprietary cooling technology, and CATALYST drivers that conform to the Futuremark specification for posting Hall of Fame benchmark scores.

From what I remember, I think these cards will come out a month after the X800 pros, and by then, these will be about the same price as the X800pros now (about £300) which works out to be just under a penny a '3D2k1-mark' .

Impressive stuff, isn't maccy pulling like 16000+ with an X800Pro on his LN2 cooled machine?

Well, when they do come out, I'll be getting the Credit Card out.

Lots of nice games coming out later this year, might as well have a card that can play them all with the eye candy turned on.

From what i can remember, an X800 Pro hit 30,000 with an A64....Think I'll settle for the Pro tbh, i dont see a point in paying ~ £100 extra for 3,000 3D 01 marks personally.
