Via NordicHardware: "The RV670 XT is the faster of the two RV670 chips that will arrive next month. Exactly what the names will be in stores remains to be seen. Right now we have at least three candidates; Radeon HD 3800, HD 2950, and somewhere along HD 2600XTX and HD 2650 appeared. Whatever the RV670 XT will be called, a user over att Chiphell has posted a picture of a card using this chip. The small text on the side says something like "XXXXX670XXX" and the card has a new Ruby sticker on the top."



We have anxiously awaited some high end competitive parts from ATI for some time now.  The 2900XT, while a good card, could not compete with the 8800GTX or the 8800Ultra from ATI's main competitor Nvidia.  Hopefully these cards can bring some competition as the the prices on the high end Nvidia front aren't changing all that much thanks to a lack of competition.  ATI needs a winner, and needs it bad after all the R600 delays and issues.

Do you think ATIs post-R600 chips will outdo NVIDIAs?

Yes!

No...
