Strange how the 7800GT out-performed the X850XT, which was ATI's top card for many months.

What makes me sad is that x850 series don´t have PS 3.0... ATi made a huge mistake...

its because it doesnt support SM3, see when 3DMark06 calculates the score, it adds up the 3 tests (SM2, CPU, and SM3), so a 7800GT would get something like 3500, where the x850 only can run 2 tests (SM2, and CPU). So unless the cards are capable of running SM3, you cant compare the cards with 3DMark06.

To compare rambo's card with one that doesnt have SM3, you just dont include it. So its like i got a score of 1771, and he got a score of 2619.
