this sounds even more like BS than EVERY signle report theinq EVER made:fact:
well
ati targets 2 ghz clock speed on an 780m transistor R600 by february? if ati does that they´re wizards:slapass:
ok then i say K8l is going to cloack at 4ghz with 100 billions of transistors and a power draw of 1200 W PER CORE, sounds about the same as the news by hexus:D
i still can´t believe it that some people take this seriously:p:
Plain BS. The R600 will be damn good, and more future proof for DX10 than the rushed G80. ATI has good experience with the R500, which is close to being compatible with DX10. This will prove a huge advantage. In DX9 games the R600 won't be must faster if any at all, but in DX10 games I think it will eventually.
G80 is fast because it's so damn big, not because it's optimized.
ATI (AMD) would have no chance at all selling a card that needed more exotic cooling than water or air could provide. I can't even picture an engineer telling that to the higher-ups without getting a :cussing: and then a :slap: Sounds like a crap report.
On a side note, are people really that concerned about how much power the card draws? If your PSU can't hack it, slap in one or two of the FSP BoosterX3's. Problem solved.
:mad: not again they better get their act together and give me a R600 but the end of jan 07 orelse :soap: :soap:
I will go 8800GTX :D
Considering the Booster X3's don't work with the G80, I get the feeling they won't work properly with the R600 either.Quote:

I'm sure that this is just BS. Why? Because if it were true, hardly anyone would buy that card.
I still remember the...amazingly close to real specifications that I've seen on the net for G80 some months ago ( especially the ones that we're posted on VRzone ).
As of this hexus "article" :
1) Delay ? Nope sir, February here we come.
2) 1GHz core clock being the half of ATi's pl. ? huh nice one!
700-800MHz core clock should be it [ uncomfirmed though ]
The newest Rev is running @ 1GHz - and i dont mean the memory.
any sources? :stick:Quote:

Maybe then you should read the links posted in this thread, bucko.:slap: Next time read the thread before YOU type.:fact:
And sry, you now look like an A$$hat.
Wow, I can't believe peeps actually believe either of these hexus links. Hey, the bum that comes around my apartment building to dig through trash told me that it's fun to f*** pigs:woot: :woot: :woot: Let's all roll around in some more FUD.
Don't worry generics_user, even though you missed the link, it shouldn't even count, because it's worthless. And you shouldn't be flamed either by other XS members...
Then report my post. Little red exclamation point under my avatar.
At least I'm reading what people post, as well as the links. Why comment if you obviously don't really care? Not reading links and posts shows either being in a rush, or simply trying to jump down someones throat and flamebaiting, as his post was, or simply posting to see your own words on-screen.:fact: Not much to be proud of there...
Gotta be able to take what ya dish out, after all.
I agree, that people should be able to take what they dish out, but no there is no reason to be a :banana::banana::banana::banana:. Especially when these links are complete FUD. There is no way that any GFX core, under 80nm tech, is gonna run at 1Ghz or higher. Think about unbelievable power requirements compared to last generation, and then not to mention how to handle the heat dispersion of such a chip.Quote:

Well, seeing as these are the same rumours that have been floating around since "tripleslot R600 cooling", they come from somewhere, and maybe, just maybe, they have more value than you think. ;)
The rest of it...delays...lol...heh. Bet ya TSMC gets mentioned, or there is an issue with "yeilds".:lol2:
Um, let me re-iterate. G80...90nm..1.35ghz shader domain. :stick:
Doesn't seem so far-fetched, now does it?
'nuff said. :fact: BTW, final gpu core clockspeeds will be a multiple of 27:fact:
That's not the G80's core speed. Are we comparing apples to oranges now? I'm not gonna argue this :banana::banana::banana::banana:, cause there is no real facts to argue. I'm gonna go look at pics of Nelly and Bigfoot now, cause at least there are pics of these two imaginary figures. Goodbye.
LoL. ok then. but please show me where hexus even mentioned it being CORE frequency. Oh, that's right...they didn't:fact:
Quote:
We don't know the state of play with the A13 spin but do understand that ATi has got A12 running at a speed of 1GHz.
:fight:BTW, Bigfoot is real. Don't you read National Geographic?:fight:
Tell me exactly, how early did nvidia have g80 samples out before launch?
As far as I remember, 2 weeks before launch. Even then thats optimistic.
Its like this with that hexus article: this guy told us it uses a lot of power and there are no GPUs available. Thats not much to go on 2 months before the card is released...
If they are still ironing out clockspeeds and heatsink design, thats nothing. PCB is already done and GPU is already done.
Yes, and now it's up to TSMC...
W0mbat probably meant something completely different source than Hoaxus. Everyone knows - or at least should know - that there's no real info in Hexus-links.Quote:

I can promise you no software house, like Epic or Crytek, will ever leak pictures unless a janitor or someone doesn't end up with an NDA by mistake.

And besides, the same info was in the link, so i fail to see where you are coming from. I tend to read most hardware forums everyday, and only hexus has this info ATM, AFAIK.
A14 was x1800XL. A15 was X1800XT, iff'n you remember.
XS news has thier panties in a bunch today.
Lighten up fellas this is PC hardware not life and death.
R600 is going great, and ready for a Feb. launch, it was never meant to be launched on January. It will massively kick G80s ass, remember me.
With the other source I meant something less-public info. But I'm only speculating...Quote:

Hey Juan. I'm on that boat with ya.
