Let's just hope the heat and power consumption goes down a little with process optimization and better VRM components..Quote:

Hum...
I see things are heating up and mud slings are starting to spin.
Again.

Radeon HD4890 (RV790) & HD4770 (RV740) Launch On Apr 6th
http://vr-zone.com/articles/radeon-h....html?doc=6664Quote:
April 6th is gonna be a big day for AMD as they are going to launch a slew of new cards. As we have told you back in February, Radeon HD 4890 (RV790) is slated for April release and the confirmed date is now 6th of April. Interestingly, we also heard RV740 is pulled in from May to early April release so AMD will probably launch the new cards on the same day.
Radeon HD 4890 (RV790) is still 55nm based and is basically a higher clocked version of RV770. The RV790 card comes with 10 layers PCB and is 9.5" long with a new dual slot cooler. We told you previously, there are 2 versions; standard and OC edition. The OC edition will come later in April. The price for standard 512MB edition is US$199 while the price for 1GB OC edition is US$299.
Radeon HD 4750 and 4770 is 40nm based and we already have seen a preview of it. Price of HD 4750 is expected to be around US$99 while HD 4770 is priced at around US$119. Apparently, the yield is so good that AMD decided to pull in from May to early April release to give GeForce GTS 240 and 9600 GT a run for its money.
just ignore the emos, wait for the link-bots like onethreehill :lol:
standard RV790 = OBR's sample?
OC RV790 = '4870'-like version he hinted at?
unless he's as bad as some people think he is
it helps sometimes
the litany
Looks like ATI will dominate ~$100 segment in 2009 2H. At least I think that's what NV deserves after all the renaming, release something new ffs. But due to the popularity NV will still get away with this rather well and people think they're getting an updated card. But performance/price wise HD4750 and 4770 will easily spank their corresponding NVIDIA cards unless nvidia will do a major pricecut, that's very safe to say already.
The thread's fine.Quote:

Otherwise the more information the better :p:

wasnt the x2 verison caled the 4995 x2 ?
that should give some good competition against gtx295
Sounds like a "Save the world" chip...
Considering the price information coming out of ATI, this makes more sense.
We were told that the 512MB model would be $199 and 1GB would be $299, and thats too much money for just an overclocked card, even if its at 950Mhz core.
New architecture (or increased shaders basically) makes more sense. The no. of shaders now is the only mystery.
Perkam
well wouldn't 960 SP's be in order? block buster with another cluster :D
Great news if true but i'll say it again why would anyone upgrade? No new game is coming that warrants an upgrade. That's been the case for a while unfortunately.
Because everybody needs da MEGA HURTS :rofl:Quote:

My G92GTS 512MB is most likely going to get scrapped, soon.
A 960 SP 48 TMU 16 ROP 850 MHz chip sounds nice, that should be fast enough to be the OC, 1 GB card to match/overtake GTX 285, correct ?
I'd guess it would be enough to match 285,not overtake it.But still,the chip will be smaller than GT200 and thus less expensive to make(and sell).Plus the X2 version of it will probably regain the high end perf. crown once again.Quote:

Yep, if they can take the single-chip performance crown too they'll really hit Nvidia where it hurts.
Why is the 1GB model priced $100 above the 512mb model? Ouch.
This makes sense, yes, but this is getting ridiculous how many times the RV790 rumor has changed.
My guess is that the 1GB version will blow the GTX285 away (Mostly at higher res + High levels AA/AF), so they'll charge an extra price for that.
