Test 2: High quality (1280x1024, AAx4)

ATI CrossFire MIA:
There has been a lot of hoopla about ATI and their CrossFire master cards lately, and I figured I would drop my 2 cents about all of this. Let me start by saying that we checked today with one of the Nets largest online computer parts retailers and they explained to me that they did not anticipate having stock on ATI CrossFire Master cards till November. Now keep in mind this is a mere 5 to 6 (depending how you count) MONTHS after their initial introduction of the product back in May...of this year.
Instead of waxing on for pages, I am going to cut to the chase and say what everyone is thinking and what many of us in the technology press are feeling.
1. ATI, HardOCP is not your personal PR bitch, so don't treat us like one again. You're on thin ice and you should be ashamed of your actions this year. We at HardOCP don't want to be a mouthpiece for vaporware in order to keep your stock price up. So from now on, if it is not the real deal, just keep it to yourself.
2. Continue with the "If NVIDIA does it, we can do it too!" methodology that has been working for you guys for a while now. But from now on, keep a tighter timeline.
3. Repeat after me. Paper launches, NO. Product launches, YES.
4. NVIDIA is setting the new standard by having their card builders selling the products on the day that they are launched. Learn it, know it, live it. And NVIDIA, don't change up on us now.
The bottom line is that the enthusiast hardware community wants products, not Canuck promises. ATI is quickly burning through a solid and loyal fan base that they built back in the days of the 9700/9800. Now is the time for ATI to step up with honest damage control, not another half filled basket of half baked promises.
And oh yeah, Quake 4 just went Gold. WooHoo! I think I just found a reason to go ahead and go SLI. (Always been a big Quake fan...) Too bad CrossFire is not a real option, although I am unsure whether or not I would consider it at this time, just due to having a fear of lacking support and service by ATI.
Somehow, I came to believe that ATI was serious about this message, especially in light of NVIDIA's multiple recent launches where the products were available on the same day.
Turns out ATI didn't deliver. CrossFire master cards and motherboards are not available at online retailers even today. Look at it how you like: either ATI's representatives gave us the wrong impression, or the company and its partners failed to deliver in a way that surprised even ATI. I don't know which is the case.
What I do know is that the failure to deliver CrossFire products at launch is a pretty major public stumble. We have been following this story, and I had intended to post a follow-up about CrossFire availability problems shortly. However, I am currently knee-deep in other product reviews, as are the other TR staffers, so I didn't have time to look into the matter and write up a post immediately.
I really do hate to harp on about, but we still haven't seen any sign of ATI's CrossFire solution in retail stores, and to be honest it's pretty damn poor considering the promises that it would be available from the time it was fully launched by the Canadian firm.
What I don’t understand is why the majority of editors aren’t giving them a hard time about claiming it was available, yet a company like VoodooPC (ie: the ideal target market) still hasn’t seen it. I can’t imagine we are the only company in this position, I’m sure there are many others. Most of them (if not all) don’t want to speak up for fear that it might hurt them later. I believe that if we don’t speak up we’re doing ourselves, our customers, and the ATi shareholders a disservice. I wasn't even asked to sign an NDA on Crossfire, which is odd because when NVIDIA launched SLi they were bang-on with their schedule. When NVIDIA said it was available now, they meant NOW.
During Friday's adventure, we asked ATI for an update on the availability of CrossFire hardware. Here's the latest, straight from ATI:
Radeon X850 XTs CrossFire Edition cards have been shipped to Newegg and we expect them to be posted any time now and we are confident no later than the end of the week. The X800 XLs and X800s will follow shortly after—around October 10th.
DFI's CrossFire Edition motherboards will also be available on Newegg at the end of this week/beginning of next. The others: MSI, ASUS, GBT, ECS, PCPartner, ABIT will follow will follow shortly thereafter.
Feeding the term "CrossFire" into Newegg's search engine doesn't produce anything of significance just yet, but perhaps that will change soon.

Excelente OC, boa performance no geral.
Quem tem discos externos USB deve procurar uma bord com a south bridge da ULi.
Interessante é k este ***** suporta RAID 5. 8o
Agora é esperar por bords Retail dos principais fabricantes, se conseguirem uma bord com a mesma qualidade da referente podem criar a melhor bord para AMD.
Demorou algum (muito) tempo para sair mas a performance esta lá.
']['hunderZ' disse:Não percebi Ansatsu!
']['hunderZ' disse:Bem, não posso adientar nada sobre performances, porque ainda não testei. Mas segundo fontes, o a ATI afirma que o R520 ultrapassa significativamente a 7800GTX da Nvidia. E ainda estamos à espera do R580, por isso não vejo a tal razão da Nvidia cancelar a 7800Ultra
