Interestingly the photos didn't show what power supply they used...

Since DX10 content is all but non-existent, and since my X1900XTX is doing
the job quite well for me now, I'm holding out for the 65nm re-spin.
Hopefully, ... hopefully... with that we'll get lower power requirements,
higher clocks, and less heat. Also, by that time the driver will be
substantially improved. All pluses.

That said, it's obvious that the R600 core has a lot of potential. Under the
right set of launch circumstances, it would have easily bested the 8800
Ultra. Alas, 80nm TSMC royally sucks for a 700m transistor part

Oh well.. I'm a patient man.

Tony
