Damnit, I wanted to see MSI's 6800s :/. Oh well. Can you just say whether they had any nBox-esque coolers on them? Best coolers evar (possibly) excluding the Silencer and Zalman's stuff.
I had to laugh what happened to ATI's responce that shader 3.0 weren't useful and not going to be implmented? it just goes to show that it's more about PR that about what is useful, this is the second time in as many months ATI is having to pull the foot out of their mouth... when's nvidia going to get caught? or has it finnaly come down neither company should be throwing stone in the first place as they both live in glass houses... for the record I like nvidia's cards but hate both PR deptments!
Wow I can only imagine what kind of overclocking will be avalible with coolers like PowerColors fan (at least I think it was PowerColor). This should be very exciting summer.
Hi, did anybody notice a picture of an ASUS ATI X800 PCI EXPRESS video card with support for Shaders 3.0? Also, how many different X800's are out there, 2 or 3? X800 450MHZ X800 XT 500MHZ X800 XT PE 520MHZ
HIS is working on a dual DVI solution, but they aren't sure about the market yet. I essentially told them "if you build it they will come" ...
they did have a sample dual dvi board (I believe an x600 though I could very easily be mistaken), but the very important fact slipped my mind since I didn't have pics of it...
Sapphire also mentioned working on dual DVI solutions for the future (of course, they've told us this in the past as well).
I'm really looking forward to those LeadTek chips...I've had nothing but good things come out of my card from them. Also, they never use the NV stock cooling so the O/C's are much better as Derek mentioned. Hope the GT's hit soon...
"Why would they restrict pictures and descriptions from Comutex?"
I think you misunderstood the comment. By "can't publish pictures and descriptions of all the countless booths and companies" he meant simply that there is a lack of time and server bandwidth to take, host, and caption thousands of pictures from hundreds of booths, not that they're not ALLOWED to take all the pictures they are able.
"channel allocation of the 6800 Ultra parts was somewhere between 50 on the low end to 100 on the high end. Not that such small numbers really need perspective, but when we heard that allocation was low, we expected to hear that it was only a couple thousand."
Wow... sounds like the 6800 is turning out to be a paper launch for the forseeable future. Diappointing... Maybe I can wait a bit longer to see the actual retail products with mature drivers going head to head (x800 & 6800)

Alienware has been shipping 6800 Ultra's from at least May 14th when I got mine. They announced the card a month earlier.Its not cheap, but it is very fast. The drivers are still not perfect.

doh!!HIS is working on a dual DVI solution, but they aren't sure about the market yet. I essentially told them "if you build it they will come" ...

Sapphire also mentioned working on dual DVI solutions for the future (of course, they've told us this in the past as well).
I'll add an update to the article.

I take it you missed the captions on Asus' booth saying both the 5900 and X800XT are the fastest PCI-Express cards? ;)RyanVM - Saturday, June 5, 2004 - link
#5, my thoughts exactly. Not one single manufacturer felt the need to stray from the ATI reference design far enough to go dual DVI? Pathetic.ZobarStyl - Saturday, June 5, 2004 - link

Not too many new dual-DVI offers. Sigh.Xentropy - Saturday, June 5, 2004 - link
