What happened to the "8800gtx OCed vs. 2900xt OCed = 8800gtx rapes 2900xt" kind of thread? I clicked on it but i had a no permission warning then the thread got deleted.
Has it something to do with Sampsa saying "people revealling all the details before NDA lift" or was it just old news, ie. DT benchmarks?

I must be missing something the card has 1GB of Gddr4, but is called the XT. So there will be two SKUs of XT?Quote:

Actually, I'm using a bit of common sense on it..Quote:

Yes, I do not have the card, that is a fact. I do know, however, that the 8600gts, which is less than half the transistors on the exact same process took over 1.7v(IIRC, may have been more) to achieve 1+ ghz on air. How hot do you think a 700 million transistor part would get at anywhere near that voltage on air?
Therefore, while it may technically be speculation, it's going by other parts on the same process. Other parts that should theoretically clock higher due to a smaller transistor count.
In end, there's no need to roll your eyes. :fact:
just launch the card already ...
It was a prerelease thread that was making "final" conclusions about a card...conclusions that didn't go in line with what those under NDA with XTs were saying.Quote:

And its possible that some stores are under NDA's as well til that date.Quote:

WHere do you think most of the leaks are from?:stick: 3This is a well greased machine, and every ATI product-line launch has been just like this, same people posting the same sort of info, blah blah blah....should be no different than a standard AMD launch, for availability, however, form what I can gather....why do you think it was delayed so long?Quote:

You must not look at the info, but the motivations for the info; the causes to know who has what where.Quote:

Contents of included parts, like the games included, clockspeeds, driver versions...website programmers and disc assemblers as well as sales people have this sort of info. Long before things can be on the shelf, people must handle them, and Shamino posted that the NDA lifted on the 1st simply because he knew of a retailer/distributors who has got cards, or was expecting them on that day. Once the card are in the hands of retailers...it's hard to keep the info "shut tight". Shamino doesn't stick his head out to get it cut off.:fact:
Info is starting to come out...which means only one thing...and you have overlooked this, obviously.:slapass:
R600 Technology reviewed

Being the first on the market with mostly 65nm design could turn out to be a first among many good things about this product series. We heard a lot of people talking about incredible overclockability of these chips, given the right cooling considering the fact that top-of-the-line products are pretty power-hungry. It seems as though AMD will not launch the 1GB XTX version in 90/80/whatever nm process at all, but rather wait for the 65nm process to be ready for the masses. Smart decision, if we might add. 512-bit ringbus memory controller is also very much "to credit" for the incredible bandwidth Radeon HD 2900 cards have, but we'll get back to that later. There are also these pretty high clock speeds and other stuff to discuss...

Seriously. It reminds me somewhat of the Dark Elves from Oblivion.Quote:
