ATI R600 is going to be a monster!!!

Good bye Nvidia!!! LOL
1 or 2 gigs of video card ram
Most complex video card in the world
Smaller pcb than 8800!!!

Nvidia wouldn’t be “gone” It may temporarily be outperformed by the ATI, but it will never be gone. Obviously, if ATI is able to do this, Nvidia will find a way as well and probably will overcome anything ATI brings at it.

 

I do not really believe news from the Inquirer. And 2 GB of videoram would be too expensive, and no one game can make use of 2 GB of GDDR.

ditto. totally agree.

 

Most likely 2GB is for the FireGL series cards, not gaming cards, as the article says. 1GB for a gaming card is believable though.

It looks like nVidia and DAAMIT will leapfrog each other for a while rather than release cards on similar schedules. Works for me.

 

Even the most powerful card cannot utillise 2Gb video ram. System ram yes, video..no ANd Nvidia has always been one step ahead of ATI and AWAYS WILL BE!! Nvidia RULE!!

 

...

ATI or Nvidia, both make excellent products and both are always playing leapfrog with performance crowns.

At this point in time neither is "better". Each is better suited to different apps/programs. However both will end up acomplishing the same. Personally I prefer ATI, however that is simply because it is Canadian (or was).

Nvidia has the crown now, ATI will take with their next generation, however Nvidia will take it back.... they love each other. Without the other neither one of them would be able to continuously entice people to keep upgrading their cards.

The competition is what drives the business.

 

For future reference, please do not make thread titles with censored words in them. We have the word filters on for a reason - we have no desire to see those words in any form. Thanks.

 

LOL the Inquirer never believe anything they say

 

Lets wait and see shall we?

 

Both cards will be almost even fast. Count my word! The ati card will be a little bit faster, but it won't be much faster.

 

I guess we'll just have to wait and see. WHOO HAHHAHA

 

less fanboyism (sounds kinda queer), and more objective speculation please



hmmmmm,

i think by the time the r600 comes out, nvidia will probably have the low and mid and the ultra high end 8900s out, so while it may be true that the r600 will be a monsters, it won't be the only one.

that's hard for me to say especially since ati has served me faithfully but it's the truth as they came out with the first dx 10 cards first


and history has shown that murphy's law may hold true for newer technology


anyhow, these gpus will probably undoubtly be much better then current gen gpus and will have a much longer life time then these dx9 cards we all have

 

Not true. At *this* point in time, NVidia is clearly better. Geforce 8800 vs... uh... X1900? Yeah, I think we can safely say that *right now* NVidia has the "better" product.

And there are plenty of rumors about the R600. Most of them say it will be faster, and most of them say so because they started back when the G80 was thought to be some weird hybrid design instead of unified shaders. And none of them are based on anything like actual facts. The G80 is quite a bit more powerful than a lot of people had expected, so maybe the R600 won't slaughter it after all...

As hmmmm said, by the time the first R600's are out, NVidia will more or less be ready with 8900 cards.

And of course, as has already been said, don't take anything The Inquirer says as fact. They're good rumour-mongerers, but that's all they're good for.

(On a related note, anyone noticed their "GPU's won't consume 300W. It's so wrong of people to spread false rumours like this"-article today? Anyone remember who first started claiming this generation of GPU's would use 300W? Yep, that's right, the inq... Morons... )

 

that is one impressive card

 

"First of all, you need to know that this PCB (Printed Circuit Board) is the most expensive one that the graphics chip firm has ever ordered."

Here goes my wallet....

 

Well, all I can do is dream. I don't have the means to make such a purchase.

 

Sure you do. I mean, you don`t really need that left kidney, do you?

 

HAhahahah

the comments in this thread is funny


nice one Ice tea

 

Yeah I do, I need to pay for next semesters fees and books.
