Like stated in the article, as both ATI and nVidia won't release any drivers that support "Physics Accelaration" soon nor PC Games will support it soon, I see no point in going for ATI Video Card.

Meanwhile, I'll stay with my recent upgrade, my lovely XFX 6800GS xXx Edition...
Huh? You mean you didn't know. I thought you knew and was making a joke.

Is there really a xXx edition? I thought you were kidding...

LOL!! I think we made it pretty obvious this year. But still, there were people who were fooled.

Yeah, hardspell.com even linked to the article on 4th April: http://www.hardspell.com/news/showco...?news_id=24000


Dash: There is really an xXx version. Comes with a free porno instead of bundled games

I wasn't joking, I've been REALLY fooled!!!

Oh...and THERE is xXx version, it's the eXtreme version of the XFX 6800GS, which comes pre-overclocked from the factory: 485/1100 instead of 425/1000 for the "non-extreme" version.
