Nvidia article:

pretty interesting stuff, probably wouldn't have gotten the 7800GTX if i knew it was only capable of 16 bit shader precision in comparison to ATI's 16, 24, and 32 bit shader precision capabilities. Can't wait for the R600 and hope it lives up to the hype...

ATI article:

and I don't care if it came from the INQ...besides, news is news. doesn't have to be completely accurate to be reported
