In case anybody watches Tech TV's The Screen Savers, at the end of todays episode the hosts were answering viewer mail. And the viewer asked, "Which is better, the ATI 9800 XT, or the GeForce 5950 Ultra?" Host Patrick Norton fielded the question and answered that the 9800XT has the all around best performance, and then co-host Kevin Rose confirmed this, however, he naively added that "But that should change tomorrow when Nvidia will announce..." He was cut off by host Patrick Norton who reminded him to be quiet because he was breaching his NDA (Nondisclosure Agreement) with Nvidia...ooo the possibilties.... I can say pretty confidently that he's referring to the 222 million transistor, 16X1 pipeline GeForce 6880 (ultra and non) graphics card, which an Nvidia spokesperson said achieved like a 13,000 score on 3D mark 04....Hot Damn!

Hmm, i dont think they're going out of business i think they're reclaiming the performance crown! On a side note i recently installed the new nvidia drivers and my hacked half-life 2 runs amazingly better...they definately fixed the shader engine
