1. closed beta.

2. very short install timebomb limmit

3. its beta!!!!

i will stick with my 2k8 thankyouverymuch :D

dumm ,nvidia cut prices more , if it happened now that's mean nvidia lose more , they must depend on new card's

FudFighterum catch up......strange i use to FOLD on my x1900, when the 7800/7900 couldnt, and even when the 8800 couldnt.........so yeah ati is playing catchup........clearly your not a fanboi at all.

cuda(physx and folding only current readely avalable uses) is nice if you play physx games.

Stream(folding since the x1900) will be nice once havoc is updated to support it.

and power director still dosnt work (least by prof ver with latist update) with cuda, dispite it being the one thing they used to show what cuda can do for you.

and your correct, nvidia is the best, they are worlds ahead of ati in price, perf, quility and tech, why do ati even bother.

Folding on the x1900 series had virtually nothing to do with ATi, Standford developed the method for using the x1k series cards entirely on their own. They didn't persue it on the 7 series because the 7 series didn't have the floating point accuracy need to make Folding useful the amount of it would take to to make sure the calculations were accurate enough on the 7 series meant that they would be of little use in Folding. This had nothing to do with Streams of CUDA, Streams wasn't used in the x1k folding days.

Folding and PhysX are not the only uses of CUDA. The entire CS4 suite gets acceleration thanks CUDA.
