well, not that bad
Lets see what driver optimizing can do.

They state in the beginning of the article that the V8 duo boards with 256 Mb DDR2 will cost around 400 EUR... Not bad, but I think that most of the market will still buy ATI or nVidia for that amount of money.
Single V8 or dual V5 could be nice contenders for Radeon 9600 and GeFarse FX5700... Price and performance wise...

in any case, looks good for XGi's plans... (to be market leader in 2007)
it looks like to be pretty good entry for newcomer. some Netherlandic online store listed price 429 Euros while 9800XT costs 569 Euros in same store. (found this from VolariGamers.com)
Anyways, you really can't get new company on top in one cyclem, but XGI could not got much better start than this.

dreamed another non-released-unannounced-born-in-dead-card look like...
