is it just me or does anyone else think the x900 vanilla is pretty much the same as the x850xt, just with a smaller die...
so whats the point of that card??? i'd feel sorry for those who "upgrade" the x850xt to x900

Maybe the x900 will have a grater availability and will be a really cheap card like the x800xl. Im guessing its for those who never got over a x800 / x850 to get a second chance :DQuote:

I hope they dont start asking for more than $550 for the x900 xt-pe since the x900 xt-pe, xt, and pro are way above a x850xt and the x900 is just like a x850xt. Right now you can only find a few x850xt's at $450. If these cards are released, the x800 / x850's price would have to be reduced about $100-$150.
Something like this:
x900 xt-pe $550
x900 xt $500
x900 pro $450
x900 $400
x850 xt-pe $350
x850 xt $300
x800 xl $200
older cards would have to go really cheap
9800 pro $150
Looks to me like its going to take a long time before prices start to look like this.
They may delay the cards for a year, so people buy the last cards

Err...
A) There will be a 256MB version of the X900, according to these specs.
B) There already is a 512MB version of the X800XL (DOOM 3 benchies, anyone?).
:::edit:::
just forget that. i don't even think that was your point so... just got a little confused.
I thought there wasn't even going to be a 512MB version of this out first. I thought it was 256 then possibly 512mb...
The X700pro was just as close a cousin to a 9800XT ;) So it make sense that way...but the info still looks very fishy...for reasons into which I do not indulge cos I'd rather post an essay over the existance of the ether than to begin to speculate on nex gen cards with no supporting info.Quote:

mid-august to mid-september.
And from those dates, you can probably assume it's either at the August 26-27th launch event thing in Australia, or...more likely...on a Tuesday. ATi loves to launch things on Tuesdays.
If these specs are real, I think I'll settle for an X900 Pro for my aging P4EE (If they make an AGP version). I'll probably upgrade to a cheap Dothan rig soon too. X900 XT PE is a bit redundant for me, since I don't need the absolute best performance, just very good performance ;)
I'll settle for a x900 xt and vmod it, flash it to pe, and then oc from there? :)
I don't know how real these specs are. They could be true, or close to true. Not much different than the ones I posted, except I heard it was supposed to be changed to 24pipe because of yeilds...and therefore 16 for the pro and prolly 12 for the regular. Either could be true though considering how long it's taking to get the damn card out. If it does have 10 vertex shaders, rock on. I like vertex shaders. :p:
As for the Xt/xtpe thing...yeah. I never got that. I'd take an xt that's 95% (or perhaps even more) the speed of an xtpe for $100 less dollars...they usually end up within a small margin of each other when overclocked anyway. I've never gotten that. Like he said, get the cheapest card that has the top-end specs that are important (pipes, shaders), v-mod it, and go to town.
The problem is X800 XT's don't overclock nearly as far as the XT PE's, if both versions of the card are being made at the same time then the PE's will get the better GPU's and RAM.Quote:

Exactly Perkam, GUYS THESE ARE NOT THE SPECS FOR THE 30TH TIME!
Considering we've been told 80,000 times we won't see it before september, and we're seeing reviews for cross-fire boards now, I'd say CROSS-FIRE will be launched(for sale) at the 26-27th event in australia. The R520 is still sittin in VERY dangerous low yield territory, and there's no way they'll have them high enough to hardlaunch the product in less than 1 month, especially not the XT(24 pipes).Quote:

I have confidence that WHATEVER ATI releases next will be awesome!

Yup, seconded :D
You guys under some sort of NDA?
Never thought I'd say this, but I hope it's not TOO good I hope? In that case my 7800GTXs were a waste. :eek:
And yeah, I agree, why revive the month old outdated and obsolete thread? :rolleyes:
I have read that only the 3% of the producted chip run well with 32 pipe:(
:D Yep - they will increase up to 5% till release and exactly those 5% will be used for the X900XT PE which I'm going to buy then........ :p: :p: :p:Quote:

oh come on, how can the 7800GTX be called a waste? inferior, perhaps, but nomatter how you look at it the 7800GTX is a damn good card.Quote:
