dualcore R600 sounds insane i just dont hope we need a 1500watt psu for it :d lol

btw i hope this isnt a repost

 

[Phrozt]

Wow.. this is pretty huge...

Now if we could only get a release date.....


EDIT: the scary part is, the ATIs really aren't that expensive compared to the nVidias

 

[bullaRh]

yea its a little confusing :? but it also says ''The above chart is only meant for referece, final detail specs and pricing may change over time'' but dunno i guess its just about waiting and see what happens but atleast this gives us a little ''picture'' about whats gonna come

 

[grifter33]

It's already coming out that most if not all of those charts are wrong.

VR-Zone has learned that the official marketing name for R600 will be Radeon X2900 series and we will start using the name from now on. We can expect AMD to launch Radeon X2900XTX and XT first while X2900XL will follow later. The recent leaked R6xx series chart with pricing contains lots of false information is all we can say. RV610 and RV630 are 65nm and RV610 has 64-bit memory interface.

Among other things we can confirm right now; R600 is 80nm, contains 700M transistors and has 512-bit memory interface. X2900 requires 2 supplemental power connector from the PSU, one 8-pin and one 6-pin but you are able to plug in the 6-pin power cable into the 8-pin connector. The targeted driver release version for X2900 series is Catalyst 8.35.1. Systems with X2900XTX cards and tech demos will be at CeBIT but inside a private room for the privileged only.

yea a release date would be nice :b

ATI has always been cheaper than Nvidia, i remember my x850xt was about $100 cheaper than the 7800gtx from nvidia

 

[bullaRh]

thx for the information xD well its just about waiting so thats what i will do :d

Probably because the X8XX series is a generation older than Nvidia's 7800 series. :roll:

 

[bruce555]

The x850xt was a generation behind Nvidia's 7800GTX. The x1800xt was supposed to compete with the 7800gtx.

EDIT: Ah, beat.

 

[tool_462]

Yeah, a few of the ATI cards are listed as 128 shaders when I have seen quite a few places that they are 96.

Also the 8600 Ultra isn't even mentioned.

If ATI really has cards as low end as mentioned it will be interesting to see how they perform.

 

[bullaRh]

the x850xt came a little before 7800gtx and there wasnt that big a difference on em and the price was still higher on the 7800gtx

in my country nvidia is more expensive thats all i can say

 

[bullaRh]

yea well i dunno if u can trust it i just found it.. but its a waiting game

That 1 gig R600 card looks serious. If it performs as good as the specs indicate, my MasterCard bill is going to be going to be a bit higher. Flashed through my mind, two 1 gig cards in Crossfire, two psus, huge MasterCard bill, new electrical circut to feed the things.

 

[M_with_one_M]

Also the 8600 Ultra isn't even mentioned.

I think that 8900gs has the same specs as the before mentioned 8600 ultra.

 

[geminireaper]

well lets hope they release the nvidia 8950gtx in the next 3 months so i can take advantage of the eVGA step up program.

Ig a C2D 6400 already bottlenecks a 8800, be prepared to also spend big bucks on a dual quad-core mobo+cpus.

Yeah, I'm planning a new build in May or June, so I already know there will be a lot of bucks spent. The present computer goes to my son, so he's already looking forward to that time.

Lol, yeah and it was half as fast without Shader Model 3.0 and FP16 support.

 

[bullaRh]

from x800 till x850 was about a half year ehh

 

[bullaRh]

i know the 7800gtx is better than x850xt as i write but the difference wasnt that great and even tho its another generation it doesnt have 2 be more expensive but ATI has always been more cheap

 

[bullaRh]

half as fast? wtf benchies plz

 

[bullaRh]

yea well lets see im gonna wait for wolfdale anyway =p so no rush

 

[kaotao]

Yes it does. Only an idiot would pay more money for an older generation card, when the newer can be had for the same or cheaper.

 

[kaotao]

X850XT was released 7-8 months before the 7800 series.

Somehow, with as many people around who are still buying DX9 cards for higher prices than a DX10 (perhaps?) Nvidia 8800 card, there must be quite a few idiots running around. Either that, or they are stuck on ATI and won't consider Nvidia for any reason. Even if it turned out that the 8800 series won't run DX10, it still would be the fastest DX9 card around.

The others have proven you wrong already, but let me weigh-in too. The 7800 was not "just" a generation above, but also much better in terms of supported dx9 features. Frankly, the 7800 was a better card when compared to the x850. (a trade-off when compared to the x1800)

and ati is always "more cheap"? When I bought my 1900xt in Feb. of last year (a week or so before the 7900s hit) I do not think that was cheap. I would hate to see expensive if that was cheap. 8O
