Damn, just wen out and bought a new system... Oh well, at this point, a little splurging won't hurt. I'll be getting 2x 4870's and putting them under water. :up:

I'm not sure about these specs are real . Hartware.de and Chiphell aren't reliable sources for me ..
can't wait for the HD-4870 :) I really need a new gfx...
I just hope a true next gen card is here by mid June.
Guess again.Quote:

id bet that there will be something out by the end of Q2 2008.
I wouldn't bet on it.
nv just launched/is about to launch the 9800-series.
So I think their next hi-end is at least a quarter away - which is already Q3.
ATi says RV770 is close to production, but untill mass production and cards
getting to the stores, there's still 2-3 months to go imo; also add that dual-
gpu cards were always launched later - so if the X2 card will be ATi's hi-end,
then there will be at least one quarter till availability, maybe even two...
Oh and also: IIRC, a couple, if not all, of those games are slated for Fall 08.
Fall / back-to-school is the traditional hardware season, so I'd expect them
to launch then.
I would be really sad if these new cards did not launch until fall 08. That is just depressing. I was really hoping to pick up dual 4870's or 4850's and OC them. But I might just end up with dual 3850's and OC the heck outta them just to play with them.
If ati wants the market share enough, they'll make a q2 launch happen, which means summer at the latest. I wouldn't be surprised to see the cards in June like they are saying simply because 55nm+the extremely good yields the rv670 has+rv770 is just a suped up rv670=awesome product not too far away
Many sites have been reporting that the rv770's production is coming along amazingly, which means either we have another r600 failure or that we'll be seeing the product right on time like the rv670. I'd be willing to bet on it that the cards will be on time simply for the reasons stated all across this thread.
As for the specs, I'd say they're about right, the rv770 is supposed to be at least 50% faster than the rv670. Judging by the higher clocks, memory bandwidth and 50% more shaders (not to mention 100% more tmus), I'd say that the rv770 may be even more than 50% faster. Of course it all really matters on how well games are coded for it
I just hope we have something new soon in the ATI camp, as interesting as G94 is to me, I want some RV770 loving. I hope for ATI/AMD's sake, RV770 will be out sooner than later. They made a killing I'd have to say with RV670, I'd attribute atleast a good chunk of the cheap G92 prices due to RV670.
and if they clock high as a mountain they be in my machine asap.Quote:

The thing is, I wouldn't call RV770 "true next-gen". That was my hang-up :DQuote:

RV770 is in pre-production stage cos the GDDR5 is in final phase of testing by the memory suppliers.
Guys, what revolution are you expecting? You're saying non stop thatyou want a true next gen card. Can you define what's what you want? Something like G80 again?
100% improvement for 0% price increase & 100% less driver bugs. We'll always want more than we can get.Quote:

I want a new R300, like the R600 was promised to be ;)Quote:

Any reason why they couldn't make R6-gen more efficient by braking down and expanding those 64SPs with 5ALUs/SP (320 total) to, say, 128SPs with 4ALUs in each (= 512 total)? Then give it more TMUs and raise overall frequency to 1GHz.
->
Less driver dependancy, more efficienct SPs and a nice boost for the lacking texture fillrate.
Referring to OP: This is quite old, I had those exact details from online although it is one long image file not broken like that (somewhere I don't recall, general browsing) around 9 days ago and that wasn't the date it was posted either but even earlier. Highly likely from a Taiwanese forum since I recall saving a ton of info from them casually searching for some info. Initially, I discarded it honestly thinking it was total shenanigans and the source IIRC wasn't reputable at all, it was called BS by users and OP who posted a large image of those details never posted to the qs users asked again. The expected dates mentioned were also very late, Q3/Q4 not now. Hence I find those details quite hard to believe as accurate until some further confirmation away from rumors.
60FPS constant in Crysis, ultra high settings, AA/AF, at 1920X1200. I'll pay $500 for it.Quote:

I hope RV770 is going to be exact what´s promised here.
don't we allQuote:
