Segundo o INQ, o novo R600 virá em 4 sabores diferentes, sendo que as diferenças entre eles não serão pequenas. ATI planeia dar aos parceiros grandes possibilidades de diferenciação dos modelos, diferentemente do 8800 no lançamento.
Segundo os drivers beta que estão sendo testados, a ATI está chamando o R600 de série X2xxx, tendo modelos como X2200 e X2400 já visíveis. Provavelmente o R600 TOP usará a designação X2800. De acordo com as especulações, os modelos iniciais terão as seguintes especificações:

- X2800 XTX T-bone, 12" de tamanho, nomeado XTX, é a placa TOP, com 1GB de RAM GDDR4 (16 chips de memória) com 512bits de barramento externo, clocada a 2.4GHz, com banda possível de 153.6 GB/s (8800GTX = 86.4GB/s). Requer 2 adaptadores de enegia de 6 pinos.

- X2800 XT, do tamanho de uma X1950XTX ou 8800GTS, com GDDR4, com 512MB de memória. Requer o novo conector de energia com 8 pinos.

- X2800 XL, 9" de tamanho, com GDDR4, clocks menores que o irmão 2800 e refrigeração menos poderosa. Requer o novo conector de energia com 8 pinos.

- X2800 GT, 9" de tamanho, seria a versão UFO, usa um R600 com GDDR-3 com um PCB totalmente diferente dos outros modelos, terá versões com 1GB e 2GB de memória (2GB para o mercado profissional). Requer o novo conector de energia com 8 pinos.

Aparentemente, todas as placas adotaram uma solução de refrigeração de slot único, ao que parece isso foi possível devido ao processo de 80nm empregado. Também virão com Dual-HDMI 1.3
Realmente agora parece que o R600 vem para brigar feio com a 8800, vamos ver se ATI acerta desta vez

Placa com 1 gb de ddram ?????
Épa larguem o resto do PC e corram o windows XP directamente na placa....já não deve faltar muito para isso acontecer....Basicamente essas placas são um Pc à parte com cpu multi-core e memória dedicada....damn....

Agora mais a sério, a ATI vai perdendo tempo a sair com a R600 e a nvidia vai é ganhando $$$ e mais $$$.

Há que ter em conta que como a AMD comprou a ATI, houve uma descida na compra de placas gráficas da ATI e a percentagem de mercado da ATI baixou - ao contrário do que estavam à espera.

Ainda estou à espera de ver é para 2009 o tal cpu multi core da AMD já com GPU integrado - é essa a ideia da AMD e a Intel tb já fez investigação nesse sentido.

Pode ser que nessa altura as necessidade de uma placa gráfica seja bem menor do que hoje em dia - e os cpu aumentem de preço infelizmente....

Mais uma vez o R600 é adiado, desta vez pra fins de Abril principio de Maio

R600 Delay Linked to GDDR4

Many people were disappointed by the recent R600 delay, which saw the release date for ATI’s first DirectX 10 card pushed back to the next quarter at the earliest, but ATI has remained in the dark a little bit as to the true cause of the delays. However, I’ve received information from a reliable source that the delays were linked to problems with the GDDR4 which the top-end R600 cards will use. As of yet there is no more information on the specifics, so sorry for the brief story and lack of technical details, but at least that sheds some light on the matter

http://www.techpowerup.com/forums/showthread.php?t=25870

E vejam so que monstro a consumir energia

ATI is stating that a SINGLE R600 high end configuration will require 300 watts of power (+/-9%) and a DUAL R600 "CrossFire" high end configuration will require, as you might guess, 600 watts of power (+/-9%). Compare that to a loaded GeForce 8800 GTX that will put 150 to 180 watts. Add in a CPU to that mix and you overtake most power supplies’ peak ratings on the retail shelves today.

Ou seja tanto tempo de atraso em relacao ao G80 e depois vem, grande, feia e a consumir energia que vale por um PC completo.

Enfim, ou isto tras muita performance em relacao ao G80 ou entao bye bye ATI/AMD.

Mais uma razao pra o adiamento do R600.

DAAMIT kills the R600XT

Unifies XTX and XT at new price

ATI won’t have the usual XTX and the XT alignment. The company decided to change its original plan. At first DAAMIT planned to play the usual game and introduce R600 XTX and R600XT, were the second one is a cheaper and slower clocked versions of the chip.

That won't be the case this time as ATI plans to unify the R600 brand and sell it under one umbrella. The only difference will be in the quantity of memory. The first one out will be GDDR 3 based board with 512 MB of memory codenamed UFO and after it, ATI will release GDDR 4 card with 1024 MB card codenamed Dragonshead2.

One chip only means that the memory will play the difference as well as the memory speed. ATI obviously knows more than it wants to tell the world, and I would bet that the answer is in performance of the R600.

http://www.fudzilla.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=65&Itemid=34

R600 with 1024 MB has lower priority

Comes in mid May

ATI decided to focus its May launch on the 512 MB DDR 3 cards rather than 1024 MB GDDR4. This is the key message from the new revamped R600 launch schedule.

We don’t know what went wrong with the GDDR 4 1024 MB card but it caused an additional delay. We are sure that 1024 GDDR4 memory at 2200 MHz is definitely not a cheap stuff.

R600 512 MB GDDR3 version is now the launch version and its availability expected at launch time, in early May. As ATI had a tradition of shipping the schedule nothing is fixed until the pretty lady sings.

R600 DDR4 1024 MB cards are now scheduled for middle of May with sample available in early May. End users will be able to grab some by middle of May.

We are talking about 102-B007 card codenamed Dragonshead2 as this GDDR 4 1024 is a delayed one. Some partners will have it but DAAMIT it’s not the primary goal to have this one first anymore.

Parece que vamos ter R600 durante a Cebit 2007

R600 to be shown at Cebit

Behind the doors closed by NDA

We learned that ATI didn’t have much choice than to give away a few R600 cards to its partners. The confidence of ATI’s partners is really shaken and this was the only way to cure it.

A prototype of R600 will be shown with usual suspects and I would expect to see some picture of this card until the end of the week.

There are two choices that DAAMIT plans to show 9.5 inch card and the second one is that it will show 12.5 inch card that many developers have for weeks or months now. Whatever happens it wont launch at Cebit, the launch is scheduled for early May time.

One reason to come to the CeBIT: GeCube shows R600

While making my way through all the different press releases from companies like Corsair, Gigabyte, Sapphire and so on which are related to their CeBIT appearance I came across the one from GeCube this morning. But unlike Slobodan Simic from Fudzilla.com I simply missed the best part in GeCube's message to the world where it reads:

*Exclusive GECUBE Product with the ATI World’s most powerful Chipset
GECUBE will be unveiling at CeBIT its secret weapon (NDA) for the second quarter of 2007. Using the latest ATI core with support for the new generation DX10 technology, don’t miss this chance to witness its jaw-dropping performance for yourself at CeBIT!
So the chances are very high that AMD/ATI will lift the NDA at the CeBIT already and one can see many R600 based graphics cards to be showcased.

Bem a Nvidia ja anunciou que o G100 ira sair em Q1 2008, ja o G90 no verao, a Nvidia tb ja disponibilizou os kits de SM5.0 e a ATI nada.

Nao estou a ver isto mt bem pra os lados da AMD/ATI.

Finalmente surge uma data pra o lancamento.

AMD WILL launch its R600 product in Tunisia. We already told you that the launch will be the biggest ever, now we can disclose the location.

The launch will be from April 23rd to April 24th in city of Tunis, capital of Tunisia and will span across two days, showing AMD's complete next-generation line-up of mobile and desktop GPUs.

AMD is simultaneously launching low-end, mainstream, and high-end desktop and mobile parts, making this a very first simultaneous, across-the-board launch for any GPU vendor.

When we write that AMD is launching everything, this means that the company is launching gaming, video and stream computing technologies: Radeons and FireStreams amd the Stream Processor line-up.

We are pretty sure that AMD will show R600 chips from the initial production batch - the 80nm one. The R600 is 80nm chip with the launch boards sportingm GDDR3 memory. Our sources continue to confirm to us that a later one - the "production" chip - is a die shrink.

Yes, we are talking about a 720M trannie chip manufactured on a 65nm process over at TSMC. When the 65nm chip will break cover remains to be seen. µ

Queres benchs, aqui tens:biggrin:

We saw some R600 cards at CeBIT but any form of photography is restricted as AMD is keeping a close watch making sure nothing is leaked outside. Nevertheless, we still managed to get some shots on the retail R600XTX (Radeon X2900 XTX) card. The frontal shot contains sensitive information so we can't show it here.

Just a recap of what we have told you before, R600XTX retail card is codenamed Dragonhead 2. It is a 12-layer card at 9.5" long with a max TDP of 240W. It is clocked at 800MHz on 80nm process technology, 512-bit memory interface and has 1GB GDDR4 memories onboard. It has 6-pin and 8-pin PCIe connectors but two 2x3 PCIe power can be used. Rumors surfaced over at CeBIT that the final product may be on 65nm if it can be produced in time with reasonable good yield. So far we have yet to get a confirmation that the first shipping R600 cards will be on 65nm but we can't rule out that there are experimental R600 chips at 65nm now. If our source is right, the yield at 65nm is poor at this point of time and expect a limited quantity of 20,000 pieces of R600XTX by middle of April.

Next, we got hold of some preliminary benchmarks figures of the R600 XTX card with core clock at 800MHz vs a GeForce 8800 GTX card. Using a Core 2 Extreme 2.93GHz processor on an Intel 975X board, the 3DMark06 score at 1600x1200 resolution is 97xx on the R600XTX compared to 95xx on the 8800GTX. Seems like R600XTX is running slightly faster than 8800GTX on the early release of drivers for R600. AMD is still working hard on the drivers and there are some more performance left to unlock. However, the DX10 benchmarking war between ATi and NVIDIA has not started yet. The targeted display driver version for launch in May is 8.361 or later (Catalyst 7.4 or 7.5).

Os resultados sao:

R600XTX: 97xx
8800GTX: 95xx

29-03-2007, 16:10

R600 scores 11400+

3Dmark06 on 8.35 driver

We managed to get some early numbers from the R600 and this baby scores 11400+ in 3Dmark06. The test bed included Quad core Intel CPU and 2 GB memory.

The drivers are not final but the score is not that bad either. The score is very competitive to G80 score.

In our lab non overclocked Geforce 8800 GTX card scores 10600 while the overclocked 11100 with the overclocked G80 card.

There is still some hope I guess.

A versao do R600 que vira com GDDR4 ira trabalhar a 2100MHZ.

Still comes later

A GDDR 4 version of R600 should end up clocked at 2100 MHz. The first R600 version comes with 1600 MHz GDDR3 while the second, more expensive GDDR 4 2100 MHz card will follow. Both cards will end up clocked at around 800 MHz for the core.

GDDR 4 card is will go in production on the first days of May. The samples should be ready as we speak but not in volumes of course. End users should get this card in middle of May.

The card's product number is 102-B007 and it comes with dual DVI and Vivo, HDMI and HDTV support. GDDR4 R600 is a 9.5 inch card and should have the same cooler but more bandwidth.

Unfortunately there won't be a big performance difference between this one a GDDR3 version. ATI still didn’t change its mind, this card still has lower priority. R600 with GDDR3 will be first.

ATi R600 vs. Asus GeForce 8800GTX AquaTank(630/1030)

Test sistemi;

- İşlemci: Core 2 Extreme X6800
- 965 yonga setli anakart

Test sonucu - 3DMark 2006

- ATi R600: 12500
- Asus GeForce 8800GTX Aquatank: 11391

http://www.fx57.net/?p=550

If its true R600 is 10% faster than 8800GTX oc -> 15-20% faster than 8800GTX@default. But its 3DMark06 -.-

Specifications of ATI R600 published by a web-site earlier resemble specs revealed by some other sources back in mid-2006, but are not fully similar:

* 64 4-Way SIMD Unified Shaders, 128 Shader Operations/Cycle;
* 32 texture mapping units, 16 raster operation units;
* 512-bit memory interface full 32 bit per chip connection;
* 150W – 230W thermal power envelope;

It was also reported that the next-generation graphics chip from AMD’s graphics division formerly known as ATI Technologies will support so-called GPU clustering, which allows to install 2ⁿ number of GPUs (4, 8, 16, 32, etc), though it is unclear whether this is something new, as ATI’s graphics chips supported multi-GPU capability for professional solutions from companies like Evans & Sutherland for many years now. In addition, it was revealed that the R600 chip is compatible with “draft DX10.1 vendor-specific cap removal” application programming interface, something, which is unlikely to be utilized for a substantial amount of time.

O R600 ja tem nome, X2900, ate agora era especulacao, mas ja se encontra no site da AMD/ATi esse nome.

R600 is Radeon™ X2900 series

A sharp eye of a reader noticed that ATI officially referred to one of its products as Radeon X2900 series. AMD will call it typo and we will call it a to big to be a coincidence.

This is what AMD claims. " 737-26661: The Catalyst Control Center intermittently disappears when running in the background of the Windows XP Professional x64 Edition operating system

The information in this article applies to the following configuration(s):

Catalyst Control Center

Radeon™ X2900 series

Windows XP Professional x64 Edition

"
http://www.fudzilla.com/images/stories/2007/April/graphics/r600name.jpg

AMD website shows off Radeon X2900

IN A BID to find out the retail name of upcoming R600 series of products, a sharp-eyed reader did a search on ati.com for the Radeon X2900. Instead of getting an error or something similar, the search pointed him to Knowledge Base - part of the site, where owners of RadeonTM X2900 graphics cards appear to be having problems with .NET-powered Catalyst Control Centre when running Windows XP Professional X64 Edition.

http://img400.imageshack.us/img400/6932/amdx2900searchkq3.jpg

Dummy search on ATI.com yields unexpected results...

This is easily soluble by installing the March revision of AMD's Catalyst drives, also known as Catalyst 7.3.

Since this help page is positioned in a part of Knowledge Base that covers X1950 series of cards, this could be a typo. All will be revealed to hacks and partners in Tunisia, in mere two and half weeks from now. µ

R600XT is ATI Radeon HD 2900 XT

That is the name

ATI won't be using X in its Rx6xx brand names. The new Radeon generation will be branded Radeon HD 2000 series.

The R600XT or Radeon HD 2900HD is actually a 512 MB GDDR 3 card and the XTX will come later.

All the Radeon Rx6xx chips will be known as ATI Radeon HD 2000 Series.

R600 to have free FSAA claim?

Not too many details

A couple of separate sources have told us that the R600 might feature free FSAA and AF in some modes. We don't have a lot of details, but at some resolutions and settings you should not see any real penalties when you enable FSAA and AF. That is why we call it "free".

The Xbox 360 Xenos chip can do this with 4X FSAA and 8X Anisotropic filtering if we remember correctly. The R600 secret must lie in the 512 bit memory controller.

Xenos has 10 MB of embedded memory that helps it do the free 4X FSAA and maybe the R600 can benefit from its ultra fast 512 bit memory controller and its fast memory. We still don’t think it is fast enough.

We are still not one hundred percent convinced and you need to take this with a grain of salt.

Hi there

It arrived at 10:30am this morning, had to sign some NDA forms meaning I cannot disclose to much info.

Initial thoughts are it looks good, its very silent. Having issues at the moment with the alpha/beta drivers and no doubt due to the fact the OS had a NVIDIA card previously installed.

But on noise its quiet, pretty much silent. It runs hotter than a GTX but does not burn to the touch like previous ATI cards.

I will report back later in regard to performance once I've got past installation gremlins.

Hi there

Nope its a retail, OEM won't be available to end users to purchase.

This is the same size as a GTX card, no bigger so will fit in cases fine.

It has a 8-pin and 6-pin PCI-E connectors but you can plug a 6-pin connector into the 8-pin without issues so you won't need to upgrade your PSU's to the new types.

Hi there

Well got a few things running, though I am not confident at all with the drivers as things do see glitchy, might possibly need a fresh OS installation.

Am impressed though by the fact whilst underload it still remains nice and quiet, the fan control seems to work quite well, certainly a lot better than the old X1950's which seem to be just either on or off with the volume so the improved fan control is an nice improvement as it means now whilst gaming it still remains quiet.

Performance can't really say but at the moment its a mixed bag, some things its very impressive and others am unsure about but the image quality does seem some what better than the GTX with certain settings which could account for the lower FPS on some test, just seems more sharper and more details thrown into the image.

All I can say is wait for official reviews to get the real info on benchmarks and how it performs. For the moment I can not come to a conclusion on the performance until I've had more time with the card.

I feel it will be around GTX performance but has more features, better Vista performance and cost quite a lot less than a GTX.

Radeon HD 2900 XT costs $ / € 399

More expensive one delayed

We have informed you that R600 XTX will get delayed till some unknown future but we also learned that R600XT will cost acceptable $ / €399. You can read more here.

You can hold your breath as you won't be able to buy this card at least till middle of the May but we heard that it should compare well versus Geforce 8800 GTX. The only trouble is that Nvidia is working on G80 Ultra and no one really knows how god that product really is.

If we had to predict the future we would say that Nvidia can easily drop its Geforce 8800 GTX price to match Radeon HD 2900 XT price and the performance should be close anyway.

R600XTX is scheduled for a later announcement, no one really knows when but the first 1024 MB cards might get finalized only in late May so you can assume that you might see some of these cards at Computex in early June.

R600 XT GDDR3 is faster than 8800 GTX

In some of the tests

AMD is planning a stunt with R600XT and it looks like that the R600XT chips might actually be faster than G80 GTX. From what we learned even the $/€399 should beat Geforce 8800 GTX at default clocks. We don’t know does this apply for all cases but at least in most of the games and benchmarks ATI part should win.

Radeon HD/X2900 XT with 512 MB should end up beating Nvidia after all. We know that ATI has better and faster driver especially in OpenGL and the new driver and 512 bit memory interface will help this card win the race.

From what we know the R600XT with 512 MB might have very similar speed to the R600XTX with DDR4 and 1024 MB but just at cheaper price.

Does this sound like a hope for ATI? It does to us.

320-stream processors, named ATI Radeon HD 2900

AMD has named the rest of its upcoming ATI Radeon DirectX 10 product lineup. The new DirectX 10 product family received the ATI Radeon HD 2000-series moniker. For the new product generation, AMD has tagged HD to the product name to designate the entire lineup’s Avivo HD technology. AMD has also removed the X-prefix on its product models.

At the top of the DirectX 10 chain, is the ATI Radeon HD 2900 XT. The AMD ATI Radeon HD 2900-series features 320 stream processors, over twice as many as NVIDIA’s GeForce 8800 GTX. AMD couples the 320 stream processors with a 512-bit memory interface with eight channels. CrossFire support is now natively supported by the AMD ATI Radeon HD 2900-series; the external CrossFire dongle is a thing of the past.

The R600-based ATI Radeon HD 2900-series products also support 128-bit HDR rendering. AMD has also upped the ante on anti-aliasing support. The ATI Radeon HD 2900-series supports up to 24x anti-aliasing. NVIDIA’s GeForce 8800-series only supports up to 16x anti-aliasing. AMD’s ATI Radeon HD 2900-series also possesses physics processing.

New to the ATI Radeon HD 2900-series are integrated HDMI output capabilities with 5.1 surround sound. However, early images of AMD’s OEM R600 reveal dual dual-link DVI outputs, rendering the audio functions useless.

AMD’s RV630-based products will carry the ATI Radeon HD 2600 moniker with Pro and XT models. The value-targeted RV610-based products will carry the ATI Radeon HD 2400 name with Pro and XT models as well.

The entire AMD ATI Radeon HD 2000-family features the latest Avivo HD technology. AMD’s upgraded Avivo with a new Universal Video Decoder, also known as UVD, and the new Advanced Video Processor, or AVP. UVD previously made its debut in the OEM-exclusive RV550 GPU core. UVD provides hardware acceleration of H.264 and VC-1 high definition video formats used by Blu-ray and HD DVD. The AVP allows the GPU to apply hardware acceleration and video processing functions while keeping power consumption low.

Expect AMD to launch the ATI Radeon HD 2000-family in the upcoming weeks, if AMD doesn’t push back the launch dates further.

R600 8.361 driver saves the day

R600XT wins in NFS Carbon

The new Radeon HD 2900 XT driver saves the day. Only with the new driver the card is really faster than the six month old Geforce 8800 GTX.

We only know a few examples as in Need for Speed Carbon R600XT scores 10 to 17 percent better than Geforce 8800 GTX. The previous 8.35 was not that good and the R600XT was close to G80 GTX but not better. With new 8.361 which is suppose to be the launch driver the scores are even better on ATI hardware.

Looks like ATI still have an ace of spade in its sleeve.

R600 has 64 Unified Shaders
Partitioned in 4 blocks.

Everyone expects 128 Unified Shaders but R600 doesn’t have more than 64. It seems to be enough to make Nvidia G80 GTX runs for its money. Nvidia has 128 unified Shaders but we are puzzled where does the difference comes from.

The Shaders are divided in four blocks and each has 16 units. We are working to get the number or TMU's and ROPs and GFLOPs. Well, we dont care as long as it runs faster. Stay tuned.

R600XT Scores 12K in 3DMark06

R600XT will be officially known as Radeon HD 2900 XT when it launches in May. It seems that R600XT will be available first followed the XTX. According to DailyTech, the Radeon HD 2900 series features 320 stream processors and supports 128-bit HDR rendering, 24xAA, physics processing. Other features include integrated HDMI output capabilities with 5.1 surround sound. Although the wait for R600 is unbearable but the consoling part is that R600XT stood up well against NVIDIA GeForce 8800 series. Using a Core 2 Extreme QX6700 processor, R600XT scored 12K in 3DMark06, slightly better than a GeForce 8800 GTX. It is benched on the latest 8.361-RC4 drivers, quite an improvement over the older sets of drivers. The core clock of R600XT stood at 750MHz while the memory is at 820MHz. It looks all decent for a US$399 card.p>

R600XT 8.361 doesnt do audio

The next driver will
ATI's Miracle Radeon HD 2900 XT driver that might save the day doesn’t support the audio feature. This was supposed to be a launch driver but something went wrong with the audio part.

No need to panic as Terry Makedon and its team lead by a skilful Ben Bar Haim are working hard to finish the new driver that will do HD audio. The next one in line should be called 8.37 and it will support Audio and all the video and graphic features.

The 8.361 driver really saved the day as the performances with the previous one were below the G80 GTX and DAAMIT was not happy. That is why ATI delayed the launch in the first place, don’t buy this alignment and full generation launch stuff.

So now 8.361 scores better, but don’t have audio support. I am sure ATI will have the new 8.37 driver in time for the launch eta in about a months time.

Radeon HD 2900 XT to launch in mid May

Now it's final

DAAMIT will show the R600XT 512 MB GDDR3 card next week, but only under NDA. This card is ready since before Cebit, but the driver was not.

With a new driver called 8.361the card has a fighting chance. April 23rd and 24th are reserved for NDA presentations of the Radeon HD 2000 generation, but this won't be the time for the official introduction.

The official introduction is scheduled for the middle of May and we have heard a few times that the guys are talking about the 14th of May as the official launch day.

R600XTX is delayed until June if not later, as this GDDR4 card would be expensive and it doesn’t bring that much of a performance increase. The BOM (Build of Material) cost is much higher than that of the GDDR3 R600XT card.

Radeon HD 2900 XT for €434

European price

We already informed all of you that R600XT, Radeon HD 2900XT should cost $399. This time we got the European price. This card will end up a bit more expensive and should sell for about €434 in retail.

This should be the start price but it might sink down at later date. Radeon HD 2000 series name is now confirmed and ATI will try to bring 2600 and 2400 cards together. ATI will probably launch them all as it doesn’t have any choice now but it wont be able to ship any significant quantities in May.

ATI DirectX 10 at least the mainstream and entry level is now pushed back to June, so you can expect to see and lot of cards at Computex and to buy them around that time.

R600 is "a mini core" marchitecture

4xRV610 = R600 all in blocks

Talking about mini cores and the putting more chips together brings us back to the R600. The R600 is nothing more than two times the RV630 or four times the RV610 chip.

The only key difference between these chips is the memory controller. The RV630 has 32 Unified Shaders while the RV610 has 16 only. No need to panic as RV630 has 160 stream processors just as Nvidia while RV610 has 80. However they work completely different than Nvidia's.

R700 will be the first real mini core but even the R600 is made out of the blocks. So R600 has four blocks and each of them have 16 Unified Shader units while RV630 has two blocks with total of 32 Shaders and so on.

Compared to CPU dual or quad core marchitecture graphic is much easier. Graphic calculations os almost always parallel so 64 Unified Shader chip can be seen as 64 small processors rendering and calculating together at the same time. We will do another part to explain you some more insider stuff about R600 stream processor marchitecture, but prepare to read some complex part.

Radeon HD 2900 XT has 102.4 GB/s bandwidth

At 800 core / 1600 MHz memory

Radeon HD 2900 XT has much better memory bandwidth then any card before including G80GTX. With it 512 bit memory interface and 1600 MHz GDDR3 memory it can score 102.4 GB/s. Nvidia's G80 with its odd 384 bit memory controller scores 86.4 GB/s.

The new R600XTX with GDDR 4 clocked at 2200 MHz as originally planned can score the cunning 140.8 GB/s. Both cards have twice or close to twice more memory bandwidth from its Radeon X1950XTX card. This card was limited to now modest 64GB/s.

So with 102.4 GB/second you wont get much performance penalty at least on some FSAA settings and lower resolutions. The R600XT can work out 518GFlops and that is only with the Shader units.

R600XTX is still no go

Radeon HD 2900XTX still TBD

Radeon HD 2900 XTX still didn't get its face. That's why AMD told everyone that they will go for a unified product launch, so the R600 XT part only. TBD part always means to be discussed and you can see it often in a future plans.

The big European resellers got a word that there won't be any Radeon HD 2900 XTX part anytime soon. The launch involves Radeon HD 2900 XT as the high end part at €434 price tag that might sunk down to €399 at final launch.

It is still unknown when the GDDR 4 XTX version comes out and if it comes out at all. I guess that this depends of how good is R600XT and how good is Geforce 8800 Ultra.

Sound and physics are the buzzwords for AMD's R600

GPU is a GPU no longer

DAAMIT'S R600 SIMPLY can't be called a GPU anymore. GPU stands for Graphics Processing Unit, while R600 can be shortly described as GSPPU - Graphics, Sound and Physics Processing Unit.

It seems now that the System-on-a-Chip concept implemented in R600 was far beyond anything Graphzilla's rider Jen-Hsun ever talked about, and the roar of angry beast will be heard in city of Satan Clara.

We hear that Sound Physics has been buzzed for quite some time, and we are massaging our contacts to bring you as much detail as possible. It seems that R600 GPU will be less CPU-bound than it has been in the past, since a lot more parts of the scene will be calculated and rendered on the GPU itself.

R600 combines graphics with audio and physics process in a whole another way, and those 64 vect5D shader pipelines yield in 320 scalar units total, directly comparable to Nvidia's 128 scalar ones. Now, 128 scalar units at 1.35 GHz is still a tad more efficient that ATi's own 320 at 740 MHz, but ATi's pipeline is more complex than it was previously thought.

Who'd ahev thought that ATI would overtake Nvidia in a race to multi-purpose GPU and make consoles of today with their PowerPC CPUs look so 1990s? Perhaps R600 was really worth the wait after all. µ

R600 features 24 X Anti Aliasing

G80GTX supports 16X

We reported most of the features about R600 and we still owe you the explanation how the heck 64 Unified Shader can make the 320 stream processors but lets just say its all about vec4+1. It is a very complex part. Anyway on the fun side R600 will support 24 X Anti aliasing.

It can support 8X MSAA (Multi Sampling Anti Aliasing) and combined with FSAA can result with Anti aliasing up to 24X. This should be exciting part as G80 can do only 16X and even the 16X kills the performance. ATI might be better off due to its 512 bit memory controller.

This will only be interesting if you use more than one card in Crossfire as this is where such an Antialiasing could be useful.

Radeon HD 2900 XTX pushed to Q3

Radeon late edition saga continues

R600XTX, the 1024 MB GDDR 4 card, has been pushed to the next quarter. This is just one in a series of ATI's failures, but of course DAAMIT will call this a strategic decision. R600XTX won't see the face of retail / etail stores till Q3 2007.

We know that something went wrong with the samples and that the there were some severe performance problems with the latest batch of GDDR 4 cards. Basically 512 MB DDR3 version with 1600 MHz memory was beating the GDDR4 version with 1024 MB of GDDR 4 memory clocked at 2200 MHz.

That cannot be good as the GDDR4 card is much more expensive to build or sell. The worst part is that there is no any big performance difference between 512 GDDR 3 card and 1024 MB GDDR. The trouble is that 1 GB of GDDR 4 at 2200 MHz costs you a lot of money, so ATI at least wants to save some money. It will launch this card after Geforce 8800 Ultra but remember, don’t expect too much.

ATI has again delayed two of its products. Now we are talking about entry level and mainstream products, the Radeon HD 2600 and 2400 cards. ATI blames a huge demand from HP, Dell and FSC (Fujitsu Siemens) but it actually cannot ramp up enough 65 nanometre chips on time.

The RV630 and R610 won't get into production till late May. The samples are out, but the samples are not based on the final A14 silicon. ATI is no approximately four weeks behind its original agenda.

The original plan was to launch and have RV 630 and RV610 available in volumes in the end of May. There might be some cards but the real volume production and availability is expected in late June now.

RV630, Radeon HD 2600 comes as AGP

Rialto works

AMD didn't give away the AGP market. Nvidia still haven't announced and DirectX 10 AGP parts but ATI will be ready with its new AGP parts. The good thing is that these cards will support Avivo and all these fancy Video and 3D features and they will work in old motherboards.

There is a future for AGP upgrade market and some people simply love their Nforce 2 motherboard and socket 7 CPUs to give away that easy.

RV610, Radeon HD 2400 will also have an AGP version but we are sure that these version won't be coming before June time if not even later. We will keep our eyes open.

R600 will get a new driver

8.37 is the codename

Radeon HD 2000 generation will get a new driver. Despite that everyone believes that the 8.361 will be the final one there will be one more scheduled for May.

The new driver is in release candidate phase today and should be ready with its WHQL signature in May.

ATI calls this piece of software 8.37 and this driver will be the first one to bring the audio capabilities in life. This driver is planed for both Vista and Windows XP.

We are not sure when will ATI get a Linux driver for this card.

R600XT to compete 8800 GTS only

ATI officially confirmed

ATI said in front of 150+ journalists that R600XT won't be able to compete with Geforce 8800 GTX. The dream is dead and Radeon HD 2900 XT won't be able to catch up with a six month old Geforce 8800 GTX.

ATI said that R600XT, Radeon HD 2900XT is about the performance of 8800 GTS. Radeon HD 2900 XTX won't be launched at mid may and will be delayed to Q3 2007. We already wrote about this here.

The dream that AMD can do something and return as the high end market leader s gone. R600 rails against G80. Congratulations on Nvidia.

O problema esta todo na mer*a do core, que como consome muita energia, tiveram de colocar mais uns layers de metal pra diminuir esse consumo, mas prejudicou a performance.

Interesting analogy from a member of OCN about this news..

I spent a few minutes thinking of a way to explain this.

Let me make an analogy.

Imagine the 8800GTX is Jeff Gordon. The current point leader in Nascar (I think) and usually finishes either first or top 3 in every cup.

Imagine the R600 is Tony Stewart. A very fast driver, has trouble finishing, some people argue he's the best, yet he has trouble actually winning a circuit.

Now, let's say shrink die size is the car you drive/engine and memory type is the amount of other cards on the road.

R600XT = Tony Stewart in a good car, not the best (80nm) with a decent amount of cars on the road (GDDR3). Jeff Gordan beats him, not badly, but he still beats him.

Everyone says, "Well dammit, I know Tony Stewart can win, he just needs a faster car and less people on the road to deal with."

They throw Tony Stewart in a better car (65nm) and his team mates take care of the other cards on the road, so he has no traffic to deal with (GDDR4), yet he still loses.

Now what do you figure is the reason? That's right, it's the driver. (The core architecture)

What you guys are thinking is, why is the card putting low numbers when it has 512-bit GDDR4 memory and 65nm?

Well, let me ask you something.

How much better do you think a 7600GT would be if it had 512-bit GDDR4 instead of 128-bit GDDR2? How much better would it be if it was 65nm instead of 90nm?

The truth is, not much better if at all and in some situations less performance. Why? Because of the architecture of the core. The core is designed to work a certain way and it always has limitations. The problem isn't the memory, the shrink size or drivers, it's the core and that's likely the reason the R600 has taken so long to come out in the first place.

The simple way to put it is, having GDDR4 and 65nm just moved the bottleneck from one part of the card to the other.

Now the limiting factor is the core itself, rather than the memory interface, type of ram used and shrink size. The core's architecture itself isn't powerful enough.

That's my last post tonight. Just don't flame me over this, all I'm doing is being honest and analyzing the card the way it is.

Zeon o problema aqui é que eles tiveram 6 meses pra preparar uma grafica muito superior e no final nao ganha a sua adversaria que ja esta no mercado a muito tempo. Era pra eles lancarem uma grafica que obrigasse a Nvidia a lancar um G90, mas nao eles fazem a Nvidia continuarem na frente, e com isto o preço da 8800GTX nao precisa de baixar o preço, pois nao tem concorrencia. A Nvidia neste momento ja deve estar numa fase bem adiantada do G90, visto esta ser lancada no verao, e nao estou a ver a ATI combater a G90 com o R650, pois eles tem de mudar de core.

Radeon HD 2900 Series Launch On May 2nd

AMD has decided to push forward the launch of the Radeon HD 2900 series to May 2nd instead of the original date on May 14th. Products demonstrations and reviews are allowed to appear on that date so it is considered a soft launch. However, AMD is still keeping Radeon HD 2600 and 2400 under wraps until the big day on May 14th. Radeon HD 2900 XT cards will be available from that day onwards for the price of US$399 to be positioned against the GeForce 8800 GTS. The final clocks for Radeon HD 2900 XT stood at 740MHz core and 825MHz for memories.

Radeon HD, RV630 UVD pictured

How the Video decoder works

We had a chance to get the latest about the RV630 video capabilities. The Radeon HD 2600 generation of cards will end up with a special part of the GPU called UVD. We wrote about this here.

UVD or Universal Video Decoder is based on Xilleon video processor. You can read more about this marchitecture at ATI's website here.

As we mentioned before, the RV630 chip can cope with two independent video source. The chip can do a dual stream decoding and image processing. It is all flavored with Charlie D's favorite DRM infection.

The concept is rather simple. The resource scheduler decides what to do with streams as the first one can be showed as real HD quality video while the second stream can be used for its Picture in Picture feature.

R600 is intended for future games

DirectX 10 suits it, but not really DX9

We heard more than once that Radeon HD 2900 marchitecture is more suitable for DirectX 10 content than it is for current stuff. The biggest problem for ATI is that there is not a single DirectX 10 game or benchmark out as yet and the way things are going, it will take until the autumn before you'll see one.

The biggest problem today is that you have to convince people to buy the cards now, instead of waiting for DX10 titles to arrive. And besides, by the late autumn ATI will already have its R650 card to fight the upcoming G90 part from Nvidia.

The R600 Shader design is meant for DirectX 10, but what can you do, as there is not a single game out. The only hope for DAAMIT right now is the DirectX 10 version of Microsoft flight simulator 10, as these guys have a beta available now.

The big ones including Crysis and Unreal Tournament 2007 (might be renamed 2008) aren't going to be out until the autumn at best.

R600 is really caught in a catch 22 situation, as the Geforce 8800 series ends up faster in most of today's games and R600 has a big chance to be faster in upcoming content.

The only thing we can say to all of that is DAAMIT.

http://www.fudzilla.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=741&Itemid=1

Radeon HD 2000 supports Vec5 superscalar

320 SPs up to 40 percent faster than G80 (in theory)

Until today we believed that the R600 is a Vec4+1 scalar chip, which sounded very inefficient to us. We had a chance to take a peak at some DAAMIT documents and learned that ATI wants to present the R600 as a superscalar chip with 5 instructions per clock.

Previous ATI hardware, including the Radeon 9600, 9700, 9800 and X series could handle two instructions per clock with 3+1 or 4+1 components.

The Radeon HD 2000 series supports Superscalar marchitecture and it means that with Vec5 or Superscalar, ATI can process 5 scalar instructions per clock. It has 64 Unified Shaders and by multiplying these two numbers you end up with the amazing number of 320 Stream processors.

The Nvidia G80 GTX can only handle Vec4 instruction in a scalable way, or four independent instructions, and it looks like ATI might have an advantage here. Nvidia can process 128 Stream processor instructions, but at the much higher clock speed of 1.35 GHz, while the R600 can do 320 Stream instructions per clock, but at close to half the speed or 750 MHz.

In raw numbers, the G80 at GTX clocks can handle 172.800 Millions of instructions or Shaders if you like, while the R600 can handle 240.000 Million Shaders per clock. If this turns to be right, ATI could run Shader instructions - especially the unified ones - up to forty per cent faster.

Well, this will only be noticeable in next generation games and benchmarks, so you still have some time to wait for this revolution.

http://www.fudzilla.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=743&Itemid=1

RV630 has 3 blocks and 24 Unified Shaders

A flexible marchitecture

RV630 won't simply be half an R600 chip. This chip won't have 32 Unified Shaders as is it should, as this would've been half an R600, insted it will end up with 24 of them. At the same time it will have 8 Texture memory Units, 24 Arithmetical logical Units and 4 ROPs (Raster Operation Units).

The limiting factor is certainly the 128 bit memory interface, but ATI just follows Nvidia and it wanted to make the chip more affordable and smaller. The worst thing is that RV630, Radeon HD 2600 series is delayed untill late June.

From what we know now, it should eventually end up being faster than the G84, Geforce 8600 GTS card.

http://www.fudzilla.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=740&Itemid=1

Sendo assim ta explicado o "fraco" desempenho do R600 em DX9, pois ela foi preparada pra o DX10.

HIS - Hightech Information System Limited jumped the gun when preparing their website for the upcoming AMD R600 graphics cards. The following link leads to their online product presentation website for the HIS Radeon HD 2900XT 512MB GDDR3 VIVO PCIe and pretty much confirms nearly all the rumors we heard about this particular chip during the last few weeks and months.
It comes with a superscalar unified shader architecture, 320 unified stream processing units, is built in 80nm and got a 8-channel 512-bit memory interface. Of course you will get DirectX 10 support, Crossfire is integrated now (you will get a Crossfire Cable x 1 though), HDMI and 5.1 surround audio is built-in as well (you will get a special DVI to HDMI Dongle for that) as Video-In. The new chip features high-speed 128-bit HDR (High Dynamic Range) rendering and up to 24x Custom Filter Anti-Aliasing.
The HIS Product Code is H290XT512DV-R, the GPU- and memory-timings aren't revealed there yet, so isn't the price.
In addition to the card you will receive a Valve Black Box Game Coupon which you can exchange for Half-Life 2: Episode Two, Portal and Team Fortress 2.

Radeon HD 2900XT scores 10600 in 3Dmark06

To 10800 on Quad core, 13K overclocked

Sources have confirmed that ultra hot Radeon HD 2900XT card will score about 10600 on a Core 2 Duo X6800 CPU. If you have a quad core CPU you will be able to score 10800 in 3Dmark06 on the default score.

This is a good score and, at least in this test the performance is comparable to Geforce 8800 GTX. Unfortunately it is not that fast in games.

If you overclock the Core 2 Duo to about 3.5 GHz or more then you can score even 13000 in 3Dmark06. So now you know, and these scores came from the 8.361 driver.

ATI to present HD2600 and 2400 at Computex

The real volumes at the end of June

DAAMIT already has samples of RV630, Radeon HD 2600 and RV610 Radeon HD 2400 generation and it will finally unveil these cards at Computex.

The real volume shipments are scheduled for late June as we reported before and from what we know the Radeon HD 2600 XT, the top version of the card powered with GDDR4, should be faster than Geforce 8600 GTS.

This card will cost around €200 while the HD 2600 PRO version goes versus 8600 GT, priced at around €150.

Radeon HD 2900 XT 1024 DDR4 to launch

On the 14th, renamed from XTX

ATI will quietly introduce the R600XTX card with 1024 MB of memory, but this card will be an OEM baby only. There won't be any retailers selling this 12.4 inch card, only the big OEMs will get it. We wrote about these cards here.

This card might end up slightly faster than the Radeon HD 2900XT 512 MB DDR3, but the faster memory wont mean that much faster performance. The memory on the 1024 MB card works at 2.2 GHz.

You might notice that the card is also renamed to Radeon HD 2900XT 1024 DDR4 and that ATI didn't dare to use the XTX brand. This means that something faster is coming.

HD 2900 thermal numbers out, 225W

Three kings including the XL

ATI will introduce three Radeon HD 2900 cards on the 14th of May. According to a document we've seen the most powerful one is called the Radeon HD 2900 XT 1024MB DDR4. Its TDP, thermal design power of the GPU, is an astonishing 180 Watts, while the whole board dissipates 225 Watts.

The second card is the Radeon HD 2900 XT 512 MB GDDR3 and its GPU's TDP is 160W due to slightly lower clock speed and the whole board again dissipates 225 Watts.

The third and final card is the Radeon HD 2900 XL, a cheaper version of the marchitecture with 512 MB GDDR3 and its GPU will dissipate 130 Watts, while the board will dissipate 205 Watts. We believe that the power components on the card gets really hot, 82 degrees C on the outside of the cooler is what we've already seen.

Ati to launch nine Rx6x0 cards on the 14th

Seven of them are 65 nanometre

ATI will launch nine Radeon HD 2000 series cards on the 14th of May, at 15.00 Central European time or 9 AM Eastern time. It will start talking about nine cards where seven of them are 65 nanometre.

The one we talked a lot about is called Radeon HD 2900XT with 512MB GDDR3 is powered with R600 and done in 80 nanometre. This is the fastest card to hit the retail and etail.

The second in line is Radeon HD 2900XL card again with 512 MB GDDR3, R600 chip and 80 nanometre core. The rest of the cards are 65 nanometre and HD 2600 or HD 2400 based.

The fastest mainstream card is the Radeon HD 2600 XT with 512MB of GDDR4 memory. It is based on RV630, 65 nanometre chip. The second in line is is Radeon HD 2600 XT with 512MB of GDDR3 memory and it will be slightly faster then the GDDR4 card. It is also based on RV630, 65 nanometre chip.

The third RV630 card is Radeon HD 2600 XT with 256MB of GDDR3 memory. This card is also based on RV630, 65 nanometre chip. The last RV630, 65 nanometre based card is Radeon HD 2600 PRO with 256MB of GDDR3 memory. We still don't know the exact clock speeds but we believe that DAAMIT still has to make its mind up.

In the entry level ATI plans to launch three HD 2400 based card.

The top one is Radeon HD 2400 XT with 256MB of DDR2 memory. This card is based on RV610, 65 nanometre core. The second one is Radeon HD 2400 Pro again with 256MB of DDR2 memory and based on RV610, 65 nanometre core.

The last but not the least one is Radeon HD 2400 PRO with 128MB of DDR2 memory. This card is also based on RV610, 65 nanometre core.

So now you know.

http://www.fudzilla.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=854&Itemid=1

RV670 is HD 2900PRO

65 nanometre 256 bit chip

ATI has a few new 65 nanometre cards planned for Q3 2007. One of the most interesting one is the RV670 a 65 nanometre mainstream core with 256 bit memory interface. This card is scheduled to replace the RV570 or Radeon X1950 PRO cards.

ATI will brand this one as Radeon HD 2900 PRO and the card is based on RV670 core done in 65 nanometre. The card comes with 512 MB of memory and DAAMIT doesn't plan to introduce this card on the 14th it will wait till the card is ready.

We heard that it might be some showcase of the beta cards at Computex. So if Nvidia launches a 256 bit version of G84 ATI will have something to fight it with.

Radeon HD 2900 XL in late June

$279 card

R600 will have even more iterations and the cheaper version of the chip called XL is scheduled for late June.

We don’t have many details about the specification but we know that it should cost around $279 and be a direct competitor of the Geforce 8800 GTS 320 cards.

The Radeon HD 2900XL comes with a 512 MB of memory.

http://www.fudzilla.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=872&Itemid=1

Radeon HD2950XTX comes in Q3

R650 is Radeon HD2950XTX

Ati didn't launch the R600 chip and it is already planning a new shrinked launch. It won't be launching the 1024 MB graphic card until Q3. It plans to launch R650 chip and brand it as Radeon HD2950XTX, 1024 MB GDDR4.

The chip is called R650 and it is a 65 nanometre core, how convenient. With this new chip ATI might have a fighting chance against Geforce 8800 Ultra but the real question is what will Nvidia have at that time.

The cards are scheduled for late Q3 so you should expect them in August or September time, in case they don't get postponed.

Radeon HD 2900XT scores 10650

Yes we did it, pixelized

We wrote a few times about the Radeon HD 2900XT DDR3 scores. The card clocked at 745 MHz core and 1656MHz memory. This is the card that ATI plans to launch on Monday the 14th afternoon.

It scores 10650 in 3Dmark on a Core 2 Duo 6700 CPU and 2 GB of memory. With this score the card is comparable with the 8800 GTX but not with Ultra.

In Shader model 2.0 it scores 4542, in Shader mark 03 / HDR test it scores 5071. In 3Dmark06 the card is clearly faster then the Geforce 8800 GTS 320 or 640 MB versions and it can even compete with the 8800 GTX scores. Well enough said, here is the picture.

This woulda work even better but too bad the shim around GPU is taller than core so third party coolers either need to be thin in width or a chafe to be milled, or shim removed.

R600XT overclocks to 840 MHz

Stable 11,258 3Dmark06

The Radeon HD 2900XT can overclock. It is damn hot but there is still some space to push the card even further. This built by ATI (aren't there all) card could be overclocked by some 100 MHz over the original clock and this resulted with quite a performance boost.

Yesterday we told you here how the card performs at its default clock. The card at its default 745 MHz and 1656 MHz memory scores 10,650.

The overclocked one will gain some 600 points and the card was stable. It didn’t want to go any higher than 840 MHz, but maybe some other cards will. Stable at 11260 points doesn't looks bad at all and we are sure that you would get some performance boost in games.

With this overclock the card becomes more competitive and every 3Dmark06 score increases. Here is the score.

Asus bundles Stalker and HL2 with R600

Launches on Monday

Asus is planning to launch a Radeon HD 2900 XT card on Monday and so far didn't want to sample. MSI also didn't sample its cards at least not that we know of.

MSI has a Borg on the cooler and you can see it here.

While Asus has a Stalker sticker, Asus has a Stalker one. Asus is bundling Stalker with every high end card they have and it is a good game. Apart of Stalker Asus also bundles Half Life 2 episode two, and the rest of the black box games.

The card is a reference one and should cost around €399 in the continental Europe.

Fox ja coloco umas imagens tamanho original do Oblivion com AA em vez de HDR.
Luisp o que tenho a dizer sobre a grafica neste momento é que ela vale todos os centimos, tem muita boa performance a um excelente preço. Esta grafica com umas drivers maduras come qualquer jogo que apareca no mercado durante uns bons tempos.

Tb axo k é um bom investimento! Agora se compensa em relação à 8800gts acho k é ainda cedo para dizer, não há jogos dx10 decentes ainda e como foi visto ao longo da thread as drivers ainda estão mt verdinhas.

EA is coming out with a new racing game called "Need For Speed ProStreet" that will be available on PC, Xbox360 and PS3! The game's engine will be EA's next gen engine built from ground up. You will need some serious system to run this game at 1080P (1920x1080) resolutions with all the settings set to high. EA promises photo-realistic graphics that will really take this genre to the next level competing with Sony's Grand Turismo 4 HD. We took one of the EA's promo images and we put our own (real life) Extreme PC promotional PRO STREET ride in the same setting. Can you guess which supercar one is real and which one is game generated?

The Supra is real, while the Rx7 is computer generated. This is exactly what all this rendering power and the magic of DirectX10 API is bringing to your desktop. Stunning and ultra realistic gaming experience that must be seen to be believed. If you wish to see more images of this ride, visit our forums. Bring your system to our lans and you'll experience this super car first hand (bring your barf bag too) =)

AMD Lasso; External 2900XT Crossfire Pictured

While we thought this Computex is the most uninteresting year for graphics cards where there are no very interesting stuffs being showcased but luckily Lasso save the day. Lasso is a codename for AMD external graphics technology and the latest revision is able to support Crossfire on the Radeon HD 2000 series. In the current revision, there are 2 PCIe x16 slots on the Lasso board with a chipset onboard that offers 48 PCIe lanes so theoretical you can have 3 PCIe x16 slots running at full 16x bandwidth for Crossfire + Physics setup or 4 PCIe x16 slots running at 8x bandwidth in Quad Crossfire setup. For the current setup, there is a pair 2900XT 1GB GDDR4 cards linked up by 2 long Crossfire bridges inside a case with 500W PSU made specially for Lasso. However, there is no guidance from AMD yet to which when Lasso will be announced.

Bem os gajos da HardOCP outra vez a dar-lhe na 2900 XT...

http://enthusiast.hardocp.com/article.html?art=MTM1MSw2LCxoZW50aHVzaWFzdA==

We hoped newer driver revisions would improve performance on the ATI Radeon HD 2900 XT. With the newer driver we used for this evaluation we did not see any “magic” happen when it comes to real world gaming experiences at resolutions at and above 1600x1200. The ATI Radeon HD 2900 XT is not even a match for even the much less expensive and much less power hungry 320 MB GeForce 8800 GTS.

Pois isto n me xeira a boas notícias pra AMD...k raio de placa é esta afinal...

Confirmo que os 7.6 são uns excelentes drivers. Com a minha X1900XT 512MB corria algumas partes de certas classificativas do colin dirt com um coxe de falta de smooth e com esta versão 7.6 está muito melhor mesmo.

CHW showed us a list of the upcoming GPUs from AMD found inside the latest beta Catalyst drivers and interestingly, R680 is mentioned inside. We told you before that R680 is slated for Q1 2008 supporting PCI Express 2.0, DX 10.1, Double Precision FP, Quad Crossfire, UVD etc. The card is clocked at 800MHz+ core with 512MB/1GB GDDR3 memories.

R680 To Score 20K In 3DMark06

http://resources.vr-zone.com//newspics/Oct07/05/R680.jpg

Fudzilla reported that AMD plans to introduce a dual chip card called Radeon HD 2950X2X and it will have two RV670 chips on a single PCB. They called this dual GPU solution R670. On the other hand, we are still hearing R680 from our sources but both of us could be referring to the same thing. We even heard faintly that R680 could be AMD's ambitious plan to integrate two RV670 into a single die, if not on the same package.

VR-Zone has got hold of a presentation slide recently that gave some clues that R680 is a dual GPU (RV670 slide shows only one GPU pic). Our good buddy, CJ told us R680 is indeed a dual RV670 solution and is 1.5X faster than a Radeon HD 2900 XT in Crossfire. Another source told us that R680 could reach 20K in 3DMark06 or rather the target AMD is trying to achieve.
