AMD: You'll be pleasantly surprised

**trinibwoy** · 07-09-2009, 08:51 PM

I would say we don't make money by delivering slow hardware. Our expectation is that we'll give you a really pleasant surprise this year when we ship our DX11 hardware

It has begun!

**~~denice25~~** · 07-09-2009, 09:03 PM

wow! thanks for the info!

**m0da** · 07-09-2009, 09:26 PM

I hope we don't see a 2900 series-esque episode.

AMD has been running a very nice show lately though, keep it up!

**Jamesrt2004** · 07-09-2009, 10:16 PM

oooh this is making me intrigued as to what the performance is going to be like, hope they sting nvidia in the but like last time

nahhh... im expecting a 4000 series repeat, and with some luck it might get close to a 9700 pro series repeat... that would be cool

Hold the phone, AMD is talking up their own products?

**largon** · 07-09-2009, 10:40 PM

Hopes for a single die 300-400mm² card...
But it wont happen.
:\

**JohnZS** · 07-09-2009, 11:00 PM

I wonder if that is going to be AMD's multicore GPU with the SidePort Enabled?

+1

it's a teaser/sales pitch. nothing new, no specs, we just have to wait for october.

**BulldogPO** · 07-09-2009, 11:42 PM

Nice. Really hoping that it wont be fiasco like 2900XT was

AMD is usually really quiet unless the company has grown a confidence level above avarage

Indeed, they talked big with the R600, but that was only after being backed into a corner from 8800GTX. I have high hopes, and if it delivers only way most could be massively disappointed is if this is a dual gpu solution, that needs the extra gpu to compete or surpass.

Crossfire scaling is generally good, I wouldn't mind a dual gpu solution if the performance and price are right. EG gt300 compared to 5870x2

Some of you are talking like 800-series would be a new architecture like R600 was?

Evergreen

I know it's just a further developed R700 which in turn was based on 600 but optimization and some added features you never know, and we have no idea about the shader count either.

Don't say the number 1200 cause that's bs posted by people claiming the core was named R800.

**labs23** · 07-10-2009, 01:07 AM

I'll be more surprised when these products will arrive. LOL But now, nah, they might just be creating hype on those DX11 products because they're aiming to beat nVidia on the DX11 race -on the implementation side.

They better come up big, because who wouldn't want a newer, faster piece of hardware.

**Talonman** · 07-10-2009, 01:34 AM

It does look good.

**flopper** · 07-10-2009, 02:26 AM

they might have dualgpu with 100% crossfire scaling.
that alone if true would make a pleasant suprise for us.

**zalbard** · 07-10-2009, 02:30 AM

Promises, promises... release these cards already, dang it!

wow.. this little POS pair of sentences is the most enthusiastic news about graphics cards I heard in the past 4 months.

No, really, it is!

That makes me wonder what you heard about 5 months ago

Hope that too...and 5870 will be mine!But gotta wait till october

**~~soundood~~** · 07-10-2009, 02:38 AM

im nvidia all the way, but they better get thier DX11 finger out, or im off to ATI for some DX11 goodness

**Helmore** · 07-10-2009, 02:42 AM

I don't get why you should stay loyal to any particular hardware company?

It's known facts that ATI drivers are 100% utter crap and can't play 3D, and since the ATI logo is red the cards can at randomly burst into flames for no apparent reasons, and their multi-gpu scaling actually scales down, while Nvidia is Green so obviously alot more powerefficient and good for the environment, also their Driver support is nothing but flawless and their multi-GPU solution has over 100% scaling
