    Hexus editors taking their time?

    geez.. the AF advantage of the new 8800 is just silly... and I thought ATI's HQ-AF was sharp enough..

    These cards just put the X1950XTX to complete shame..

    I'm more interested in the GTS as it seems to have plenty of headroom, both on the core and the memory..

    16xAA + HDR + 8800 AF in Oblivion can only be heaven I tell you... LIES!! I'm not listening.. This is too good to be true...

    I'm with you. I don't want to believe it. People were saying they will wait for the 2nd gen of DX10 cards, I don't see the point now. To be honest the cards are not that power hungry, they offer significant improvements in todays games and they aren't priced through the roof for the GTS.

    Depends if you like slideshows - even the uber cards can't do oblivion at that kind of quality with much smoothness

    Yea I posted in the gfx section, but where are all the reviews All the best places have yet to post theirs (Hexus, TechReport and Anandtech). Is there a different NDA that we are not aware of ?


    Also am I the only one that finds navigating the Hexus forums a massivly difficult task?

    Noxis is it pretty confusing since they changed it a while back, must be nearly a year ago now but i have kind of got used to it, it used to be a lot better than it is now. It was simple and easy before, now they have stupid names for forums with more stupid names in sub forums. but like i said i am used to it now and not too bothered by it.

    Ohhh spooky it's gone blank!

    From their forums:

    "THIS EVALUATION HAS BEEN PULLED TILL 1PM CST." That's minus six hours GMT so 7pm our time.
