It's getting closer and I can't wait to see this baby performs and hopefully get some flying colors over Nvidia's 8800 series.

I notice the two little bridge connection similar to SLI. I'm not sure that it's what I think it is but it would be neat to Crossfire them cards that way.

damn she is sexy :lol:

I know, the hotrod flame effect is very appealing indeed.

1Gb of GDDR4! Too much? or this card may handle ultra high resolution. I can't wait to see actual game benchmarks like BF2, Quake4, FEAR, Oblivion and etc.

And last the price.

 

[bullaRh]

yea :b looks really nice

haha never too much i remember they said 256mb was 2 much a few years back ahah =d

yea i wanna see some damn benches.. im gonna play at a 24'' so i really hope it performs good at high resolution or else i have 2 wait for next generation

Actually those are Crossfire connectors, and not 'like SLi', dual SLi came out after the R1950P/X1650XT which had the 2 connecotr Xfire, which opened up the possability of multi-cards in a chain, nV didn't add TRUE multi card SLi support beyond 1+1 in their chips until the G80, which also added the multi-connector on the GTX models.

BTW, even sexier would be some shadermark results, not st00pid Bungholio score, now those would be sexy. 8)

Thats exactly what its for, internal Crossfire, no more external dongle. And from what i read somewhere there bridge connector offers double the bandwidth of the SLI bridge connector, between the 2 cards.

GAWD!!! The true geeks come out...

Person 1: "DUDE! LOOK AT THAT CARD!!! IT'S SEXY!!!"
Person 2: "Yea, I know, it's the flames" 8)
Person 1: "Man, I'd like to get her right now"
Person 3: "Yea, that'd make my system look really sexy"

Near future... computers will learn how to please us beyond any woman's capabilities

Human porn will soon be replaced by computer porn ROFL!!!

Anyways... it does look kind of big... shouldn't be a problem though for my Antec P180 case :tongue:

I heard thats gonna be 31cm of pure power in this baby. 8O

 

[chuckshissle]

Thanks for clearing that up. The last ATI card I have was the X800GTO. The dongle crossfire connectors from the other models are annoying I think.

Now I want to see some mano a mano with AMD/ATI R600 vs Nvidia G80 top end graphics cards. Whoever wins and to consider the price as well will when my favor again and hopefully I could use ATI card once more.

computer porn ??? :lol: sounds nice 8O but in a distant future , about this card , all i can say is that i'm gonna buy it after its release ,if it can beat the 8900 , and that its way too hot , but why it says ATI and not amd ??

my first post :twisted:

 

[bullaRh]

yea newegg.com gonna be one big porno site haha

well not bigger than the 8800gtx i suppose?

 

[oc]

ATI R600

Ati R600


Thats big!!!

 

[bullaRh]

because ATI makes the graphic cards AMD may have bought em but its still them who make the cards ..

Anyways... it does look kind of big... shouldn't be a problem though for my Antec P180 case :tongue:

Actually the retail R600 is supposed to fall between an 8800GTS and a GTX in length, closer to the GTS of the two. Those pictures seem to confirm that based on the length ratios of the board and the PCIe slot.

 

[Eurasianman]

And it's kind of funny on how their names look somewhat similar...

ATI
AMD

... DIAMAT ... there's a name with all their letters combined.

I need sleep...

I prefer the InQ's acronym: DAAMIT

It just has a good ring for when things go wrong.

 

[Eurasianman]

yea, I saw that one too... I was just trying to aim for something that was a little more unique in sound, not just spelling :tongue:

 

[TheGreatGrapeApe]

You cou;d also go the I-MAD-AT route. :twisted:

 

[chuckshissle]

R600 hasn't even come out yet and you guys already relating it to porn . What's wrong with you sick people this baby is only several months old for god sake. Keep it inside your pants guys and don't get too excited yet.

Why?

That's old news, and that's NOT the retail version, it's the OEM.

Perhaps reading the title of the thread would help you figure out what everyone else is posting about. :roll:

I guess you need to cut a big hole in front of the your pc case to install this card.

 

[Eurasianman]

How dare you call us pedophiles!!! :x

We can't help it that each generation hits puberty faster and faster!!!

Ok... enough of this... I'm starting to get sick to my stomach...

Anyways... I find it somewhat funny that the cooler of the R600 is setup almost identically to the 8800s... I guess there really is no other way though, huh =/
