Digital Times says the R480 has Taped Out

[TheGreatGrapeApe]

A replacement for the R423 already when there are so few of them on the shelves (or even in Rigs) as it is. Fourth Quarter release, eh?!?

Also they mention that the R500 is 90nm, they don't explicitly relate that to the R520, but that may the case for the R520 too.

Perfect timing for my upgrade! Q2 '05, here I come!

On the contrary <A HREF="http://www.xbitlabs.com/news/video/display/20040930061344.html" target="_new">X-bit labs</A> is saying that there won't be NV48 or R480 this year (still perfect time for my next system[!]).

F'in, eh!

I'm thinking X700/GF6800 near term (nothing out there will best either [other than 3Dmk05! ]), sell it and then R520/NVXX for long term.

That sounds like a good plan to me...just I'd go all out and get the R480/NV48 in the meantime :tongue: .

Damn it!

Now I'm gonna have to settle with the current cards, I guess.

But then what about the 6-month product cycle? Isn't that going to be ruptured?

I can always sell you whatever I buy next when I buy the R52X/NV5x. :lol:

Maybe not, you'll have advanced knowledge of all the EVIL I will do to it!
