Cayman XT - 1920SP, 900Mhz core, 6GHz GDDR5, 3.5 TFLOPS.
Cayman PRO - 1536 SP, 800Mhz core, 5Ghz GDDR5, 2,5 TFLOPs. Cayman Pro is supposed to have - 1536SP, 800Mhz core, 5GHz GDDR5, 2.5 TFLOPS.
who nows...
until dec 13
Complete slide deck(photographed):
http://www.computerbase.de/forum/sho...9&postcount=92
looks like a significantly bigger change than expected, it looks like a real next gen, not just like a minor refresh like 68xx and geforce 5xx
PS: i hope chucknorris smacks informal because his chuck norris posts are annoying ;)
So, from the chio's mArch diagram, no decoupled TMUs means a 120 TMUs chip ?? :eek:
I count 56 only , assuming those yellow squares of fours represent texture units, for comparison 5870 has 80 of those little squares.Quote:

It looks so f-ing awesome! :DQuote:

price wars incoming !!!!! i'm assuming it'll also have UVD3.0,EyeSpeed etc not mentioned in the slides
Not all the SIMD are shown on the 6970 diagram ... ( the little black point show there's more, they don't wanted to show the real numbers . )Quote:

just to end the confusion, that's a diagram of barts.Quote:

Thx a lot! Cheers!Quote:

Hmmm I don't like what I see with the "Tesselation done right / adaptive tesselation", I'm afraid this is a whole new level of driver optimizations and it's going to be hard to see the different level of IQ but the performance increase or decrease could be very great indeed. I see some more PR fighting going on from nVidia and AMD, telling reviewers their level of tesselation is best.
Exactly what I was thinking.Quote:

well my opinion about tessellation is that its suppose to be built around adapting based on distance. you dont need a billion polygons from every character a mile away, but as they get closer you want to see them (or if your scoped in on them). it should be a stuipdily simple setting to determine how much is needed and it simply scales from there. so i would say i want normal, up close is 10 million, at far is 1 million. or i go with heavy and up close is 20 million, and far is 2 million. the levels between the close and far might not have perfect steppings, but this may be more of an issue with the game designers rather than the drivers. but like AMD is trying to say with their 16 pixels per poly hopefully has this handled. so a huge mountain which always takes half your screen will still have the same polygon intensity as a character which can take up half or near none of the screen.
a hint of slightly less IQ with 2x the framerate sounds like such a horrible trade off, lol. for people who want the very best IQ, get mad at the console ports and not the optimization of the gpus. since the guys who want the best IQ probably also want ray tracing, yet somehow have been ok with rasterization for how many decades now?

Maybe, maybe not. But performance difference between cards is usually reasonably small, but with some smart adaptive tesselation, the two cards reviewed could have a much bigger difference, hence one will come out on top and could therefore have the highest sales. But like you said, which would be best?Quote:

Come on ,give me a break,I rarely use Mr Norris in posts and it was a joke :)Quote:
