the XGI will soon make its way into the markets soon, competing against nvidia and ati. in their predictions, by 2005 they will be highly profitible by 2005 and by 2007 be the worlds leading GPU provider.
like nvida and ati, they have different types of cards to meet the needs of differen types of people, they have the latest 9.0 and 8.1 DX supported cards. here are the list of names and speeds of their product family.

The Volari V8 is the flagship model of the lineup. This 256bit chip is manufactured on a 130-nanometer process and offers full DirectX 9 support. The design sports eight-pixel rendering pipelines with a total of four pixel shader 2.0 units as well as two vertex shader 2.0 units. All in all, the chip has about 80 million transistors, which is roughly equivalent with NVIDIA's NV 36 chips. It supports both GDDR and GDDR-2 memory modules (max. 256MB), accessed through a memory interface XGI quaintly calls BroadBahn. This interface subdivides the memory into four channels of 128bit each, giving it an internal bit-width of 512bit. Since the modules are only addressed using a 32bit bus, the actual resulting memory bus bandwidth is 128bit.

so who knows... this card might kick some ass when it comes out =D
i might get it, but the prototype consists of many problems... but soon will be fixed in their final product.
