Introduction
Today I will be looking at the R580 – ATI’s new flagship model the X1900XT-X
The card interested me as soon as I read about it on the internet and ATI seem to have done something new and exciting with the R580. The architecture has changed somewhat to ATI last top-line chip, the X1800XT.
This will be a source of some annoyance to a lot of ATI’s current customers, as they only bought their new chip a month or two ago. ATI’s decision to release the R580 seems to be telling us that this chip was really the one they intended to use to showcase their 90nm technology.
It seems the “big two” graphics chip makers are releasing their newest GPU’s much more closely together, which is rather annoying for a lot of customers who like to keep up with technology. Will this latest card be a win-win for ATI, or will there be a consumer backlash?
That is left to be seen, but this chip is certainly something for ATI to shout about.

Nice review man. :worship: :worship: I did the same with this review as the other (hope you don't mind :p )
Little addon to spice up the benchys.

I had to do this quickly , i can alter the background colour to match sites background colour so it looks embedded.
If you want to get numbers for the games too then i can do charts for them too.
Hope you like it.. See you around.

Nice work Tec
I don't want to do game numbers for this one seeing as I don't have an nvidia card anymore and I don't think that thats what this card is about.
The add-in would need to be below 400px wide to fit on the page so feel free to go ahead and change it to match and I'll put it in with credit :)

Verrry nice. Maybe we shouldn't submit it :p Maybe that's what fucked up the SX listings, lol.

Yeah, i think i'll wait and see. If Google indexes the entire site (its only doing the index atm) then i wont bother submitting it ;)
EDIT: THB, what you said could well be true Frag. Maybe google penalizes sites that submit directly to it. Maybe google believe that the sites that are found via word of mouth (eg, SX linking to OC3D) carry more weight.
