I've been at Official AMD presentation week ago, and they had no information about R7xx GPU's specifications, not even a theoretical product roadmap.

Is the 4870 is the R700 ???
When will it be released ??
I want the 4870 X2 :D
Trust me, you don't want it if it's another 3870X2. The drivers are utter crap, I've been testing it for a couple of days and all I can recommend if you want fps despite all the other things is to buy a NVIDIA card. Or you can mod a 3870 and have moster clocks for everyday use if you want ATI :D
But seriously, stay away from 3870X2.
so no shared frame buffer? too bad...
...and "they" said it wouldnt happen :)Quote:
so at the moment a two chip solution is the way to go.
harhar
despite the usual multi gpu driver prob's a fair few games seem to benfit from crossfireonacard multigpu.
but too exe for me, so 4870 i spose vs wottever nvidia pull out of their hat/s. another mini upgrade from 8800gt...
HD4870 1GB GDDR5 @ 2200MHz (DDR-4400)
= 140.8 GB/s
+95.5% improvement in throughput compared to HD3870 (DDR-2250 @ 256bit = 72GB/s)
+33.3% improvement in throughput compared to HD2900XT (DDR-1650 @ 512bit = 105.6GB/s)
:nuts:
and almost 40% increase over the 8800Ultra. too good to be true :D
a little comparison to 8800 series memory bandwiths:

this one is against 9600gt if rumors are true
The card, when it works flawessly, is a beast. But in almost every game, the drivers suck a$$ with something. In one game is with text corruption, in other is second core not working (basically CF not working) and in others they simply make the game totally unplayable, with half of a single 3870's framerate.
Non-competitive card? The card is competitive, but with the actual drivers, it's a :banana::banana::banana::banana:ing PITA to play with it. Fix the drivers? Dude, this is ATI, and CF drivers, I think you should reconsider that claim. They are good in some areas, but when it comes to fix something with the drivers... well, good luck.

And you can't take the prices out of context like that ;)
They are not the MSRP, they are target prices. Just for orientation or how to put it. AMD/ATI wants to keep the cards affordable and the prices are in no way what you should expect the retail prices to be, but from what I know AMD aims to stick below these prices.
But, I mean, we're four months from the launch, it's still a long way to go.

Meaningless to say the least, bandwidth does not say much as we can see here.

I Want Moar Rops!!!
There are a couple of things that actually doesn't add up for me in the information hartware.net has posted. One of them being the ROPs. IF RV770 is suppose to have a MCM design and ATI has doubled the amount of TMUs, logically the amount of ROPs should double too.
Rememder, we're four months from the launch ...

hmm define inofficial...
sorry couldn't resist:D
monsterrrrrrs :D
