If Nvidia releases yet another card "big fish" then why would someone pay those $600+ for this one Diltech ?

He said competition for the R580;so next year!
That could be in 5 months at least....
Of cuz there will be faster cards coming, but watching the news section for 5 month sounds boring =)
I thought he meant something coming soon..
Seems like there's gonna be a product launch from nVidia the 7th...
Something is being launched the 7th.....

Round 2
Round 3 ----> Knockout.

ATI has been playing catch up since the 6800 series.....nVidia has had the best position for a looong time now....and the whole of 2005 nVidia lead the market....delivering the first hardlaunch...they did it again with the GT....now it's gonna be three strikes and ATI is out....
I'm almost certain that nVidia will do a double launch this month....one at the 7th and one at the 14th......both hardlaunched.
Mid range and High end.
The 6800 PCIe has dissapeared....there is a large gap at the moment....the GS has been spotted in the 81.87 Beta drivers...so it's only fair to expect that card...it's gonna be a 16 pipe killer for a little more then $200.....excellent.
The 7600 is most likely to debut in December....probably 90nm.
If nVidia will pull off a Double Hardlaunch (4th hardlaunch in a row basically)....let's just say that they will have legendary status....
And they will do it again in January/Februari with it's G72....which will battle the R580.....nVidia just keeps pushing ATI...but ATI doesn't have the trump cards....they have every field covered...
That's my opinion.....
Did you guys see the new [H]ardOCP review on the XT? The difference between the BFG clocked at 460/1.3 and the XT is minimal in Quake4 even with the new Beta drivers (Actually the GTX still wins)....can you imagine what a spanking the 550/1800 card will do?
ATI get's knocked the Fuc|< out....
*edit* Just ignore it..
My point is nothing..keep on..
Oh lol sorry..... :)Quote:

same here .. is it even worth buying a 512 gtx if another one is due out in q1 of 06 ?? or should i just get another 256 gtx to hold me over
Dont ask him if you should wait;ask him if he will wait :)
I'll tell you this much for now...
Quadros are being discontinued next round, as the gaming cards are to the point where they're as fast, if not FASTER, than the workstation cards.... Basically, that just means that there's no point in companies buying special cards anymore, and that studios will use the same cards to render things as we do to render games...
If what I was told yesterday is true(and it comes from someone who damn well should know!) then the r580 might as well not even be released....
There is nothing due out after the ULtra by either company until q2 2k6...fyi.
Rest of the stuff should be 7600/7200.

Perkam, I'd retract that statement...both camps are ready for something before q2.
ATI will have to break its promise not to release the R580 before summer 2k6 that it made to its shareholders...and believe me, this isnt a company that can take its promises to its shareholders for granted anymore.Quote:

Q1 2006 = 90nm G71 and R580
There, I said it.
Also, link to the shareholder's statement?
Use the search it's there... :)Quote:

RV560/RV540/RV505 coming q1, R580 coming q2. All together now: "Are Oh Ay Dee, Emm Ay Pee !!!"Quote:
We do not expect ATI to launch its R580 (speculated to have 32 pixel pipelines) in C2005 (ATI does not want to stall the channel for the R520), and expect a refresh of the R500 family beginning in spring 2006 with RV560, followed by RV540 and RV505.
