..for the same performance. What irked me was when I heard that the Mac Pro Nvidia GT120 cards scale to a 8600GT in PC's. But that's totally irrelevant to the article :)

Hard to say where the iPhone sits at, with tech advancing so quickly, hard not to call it a PC to an extent.

Hard Case: Signs of Life at AMD?

The first part of your argument makes sense, but once you touched base on ATI's Xenos running in a 360, my interest dissappeared.

Xbox 360's GPU is made from ATI, yes. But you have to actually research and figure out how it scales.

ATI's Xenos in the 360 scales very closely to an ATI HD2900XT 256MB Video card, and uses a language similar to DX9, with the Shader Model 3.0. Xenos is basically an IGP inside the 360.

On a PC, try running GTA:IV, or Oblivion with a HD2900XT, and you'll most likely see the same performance.

Comparing ATI's Xenon in a 360 (HD2900XT,) to a 58xx is totally irrelevant.

I still can't get over how sexy the 5870 is.

As far as the unsigned driver issue, there is a write-up on a workaround, and it works with W7 64-bit. Follow the link.

Loading unsigned drivers in W7 64-bit: http://www.raymond.cc/blog/archives/2009/08/24/loading-unsigned-drivers-in-windows-7-and-vista-64-bit-x64/

App required to complete the workaround: http://www.ngohq.com/home.php?page=dseo

This workaround can be used for virtually any app, not just rivatuner.

Hope this helps someone, I know it saved a buttload of headaches for me.
