If you touch your software enough does it become hardware?

According to the rumor mill the new ATI GPU will beat the GeForce 8800GTX. Of course, the link I had to it gives a 403 Forbidden error, so I can't see anything about how the benchmarks were run, so for now it's still 100% rumors.

unfortunately, IME ATI cards can be a lot faster than equal nvidia cards, but you usually end up paying a premium for the performance.

I've also seen rumours stating that the R600 is faster than the G80, and these were just early test samples (Upto 20% better in games, marginal in benchmarks). Seems pretty impressive, but like Berk says, it'll just be more expensive. But then again, there are always those who want 'the best'.

I would not be at all surprised, seeing as 403 errors are not confidence indicators.

Yeah, especially as the news of it being delayed has also been posted:

And all of these seem to be saying "Someone else seems to have got something and said it's awesome!", its sounds very hoaxy.

There's not a single horse link there. Shame on you all.
