The NDA on the new ATI cards has now been lifted and thought I might let everyone know that didn't. Here is a web site that has some links to reviews/previews.

It does not support ps and vs 3.0 like the 6800 does but it uses far less power,generates lower heat than the 9800xt, and only needs one molex connector unlike the 6800. The performance numbers of both cards is insane. The x800 pro should be available this week or next and the x800xt near the end of the month. The availability for the 6800 ultras is still up in the air in terms of when they will hit retail. Very nice time to be upgrading and after having seen the pros and cons of both cards I am going with the ATI x800xt once it becomes available. It will be waaaaaaaaaaaay faster than my gf fx 5600 non ultra. My house tends to be really hot during the summer and in turn my case so the gf 6800 ultra=too much heat and power requirements. Can't wait to play modern games at 1600 x 1200 with AA and AF and still get good framerates.
