    NVIDIA's new 6800XT takes on X800GT

    Hang on a sec... I thought ATI used XT and NVIDIA used GT. I guess they've swapped; the marketing bods must be locking horns. According to The Inquirer, the new 6800XT will be OEM only:
    Nvidia 6800XT is nothing more than an eight pipeline 6800 card but in Nvidia's case it will be available for OEMs only. Nvidia will keep its price around $5 below ATI X800GT price and OEMs have to react to such a deal as it means $5 more greenies in their pockets. ATI doesn't have any other choice then to drop the OEM price of X800GT, which is already a very low priced part.

    ATI will still have a chance in retail as the X800GT is already available, and will directly fight the 6600GT. Nvidia might have some problems to keep the 6600 GT sales alive at least in the channel, but we suspect that as soon as it happens Nvidia will either lower the price of 6600GT or will just announce a retail version of 6800XT.
    The mid-range war wages on.
    PHP Code:
    $s = new signature();
    $s->sarcasm()->intellect()->font('Courier New')->display();

    am i the only one who finds the cut-down-version-name-is-competitors-high-end-version-name naming scheme HIGHLY immature and childish?

    i can't remember who started it, but really, there's no need for it
