This is a massive leap over previous-gen parts. The current
generation's high-end performer from Nvidia, the 8800Ultra scores
12,500 points. Seeing a mainstream, $250 part scoring barely a
thousand less than a current $599 card only makes us wonder how those
owners that coughed up so much will feel.

Probably the same way I did 10 years ago when my Rendition Verite was
smoked by the new 3DFX Voodoo...

In other words, this isn't news. Go ahead and buy this new ATI card,
and see how you feel in a year when its just over half the original
price and faster cards have already been out for months.

Anyone who buys on the leading edge is just looking to get screwed.
