Not to be outdone by today's Nvidia 8800GT launch, AMD spoke with us about the two ATI HD 3800 series graphics processors it will announced on November 15th.
DX 10.1 sounds pretty awesome. I especially like the standardization of the antialiasing. I wonder how long it will take games like Crysis, Bioshock and UT3 to offer patches once the new standard is out?
The Multi-Core sounds very interesting.
Especially if they can shut down 3 out of 4 cores when not gaming.
This would make it real nice for those who only game occassionally.

There is no way Bioshock or UT3 will receive a patch for Direct X10.1 and Crytek has specifically said they have no intention of supporting it.
254 new PC game titles are expected this fall, right and i have some ocean front property to sell you in the Nevada desert.
There are not half that amount in my software release book we sell software sound like they wrote 1 to 255 on a bunch of papers and pulled them from a hat lol.
Same goes for ps3 games they said there would be a flood released this fall seems more like a leaky faucet.
A twist from the notorious insult to people who bought Radeon 2XXX cards: I'm so sorry to see people buying Geforce 8800 GTS cards so early in the game...............SUCKA! LOL.
Did you not know that Antivirus software is really just a game. If you include all the 2008 editions coming out at the moment 254 games sounds about right. LOL.

You know anything else about the multi-core? I guess this means the 3800 is not multi-die.
Link please!

nah mostly it'll be new games that utilize 10.1 not patched up stuff
I stated that AMD had hardware that was more forward-looking than Nvidia's G80 technology. I still feel that way after looking at the latest information we obtained from AMD about RV670.
More forward thinking? Forward has come and gone; waiting on the future promises from DAMMIT is getting old. For the past year forward looking was DX10 and more so Crysis. Forward came and we already know how the ATI cards stack up. Don't take my word for it though, the market has already decided.

My point isn't simply to bash them but this sounds like the promises leading up to the 2900. That story doesn't need to be retold we all know it. The bigger problem is that ATI is in less of a position to influence developers and and see their unique features being utilized. This is the same old story we've had for the past year with both GPU's and CPU's about some great new thing coming from DAMMIT. Generally the enthusiast community has moved on but I feel bad for the few who continue to buy into the waiting game and believe stuff like this:

You can be assured that tighter standards and cube maps with global illumination is a feature that will be the norm regardless of what marketing and PR you get from either graphic camp. D3D 10.1 is around the corner and AMD will be the first to launch hardware that is compliant with this new specification. When Vista service pack 1 rolls out will you be ready for the games that support DX 10.1 or not?
Name me one example of a game coming to market where the above statement applies.
I know my comments all sound anti ATI but it is more out of frustration in watching them piss away the position they've held.

Do you have that quote?
Actually I don't think he said they had no intention of supporting it, it just wasn't currently in the game. And this reply came after the discussion of future friendly features not yet exposed. But from everything I've read sofar he wasn't so blunt to say they had no intention of supporting it, that would imply they will never patch it, which is strange for a company that brought out 3 patches to add features to FarCry (SM3.0, SM2.0b geometry instancing, HDR+FSAA).
I would say it won't be anything soon, but I wouldn't say it won't be a future option they would end up supporting.

Why would you feel sorry for them? They got a damn fine card that outlasted a competitors release. If you bought it last week, probably not wise, if you bought it when they launched they were great cards, and were good purchase up til about 2 months ago when we first learned of these two options from Green and also Green.
There's always going to be something better, butthe question is how soon and can you make the most of what you buy. It's not like either of these card make the GF8800GTS obsolete, just no longer the same value ratio.

There are very few dx 10 only games so you think there will be alot of dx 10.1 games? 8800gts is still a good card. will probably last another year or two. Dx 10 wont be fully utilized for a while.

Exactly, and I bet he will say "suckas" to those who buy an 8800GT now and find that the 9800GTX is better. Well.... duh, it's newer and it came out later
so whats better than anti-aliasing as standard in dx 10.1?
iam planing stick with XP until Vista is more....optimised, is the 8800gt or does 3800 thats better / faster + does it lables XT or PRO?
