yeah, increasing the shaders by a 100 or 2 wont help much, for rv790 from rv770..wait or would it?Quote:

EDIT: I take that back.
I trust that the clock speed is still very appealing to XS members. Whether it has extra units or not is just icing on the cake.
960 SP(and likely expanded TMUs) is 20% more than what you have in RV770.Add in the extra GPU clock(13%-850 vs 750Mhz) and extra BW(10% higher GDDR5 clocks) and you end up with much powerful GPU than RV770.Quote:

If this is true I might switch from my (as-of-yet unpurchased) 285 to this. I've been looking for a reason to switch to ATI, but with nVidia currently whooping them in the single-GPU scene (which is the only scene I'm interested in), it's hard to justify.
Maybe people should wait abit. Since it could just be a RV770 tweaked for higher clocks as much places suggested....
I dunno, i just thought ATi will try to keep their winning formula, making a small and efficient GPU chip, 1120 SP 55 nm chip doesn't seem to oblige with that paradigm. :shrug:Quote:

Until GPU-accelerated physics, AI, and ray-tracing become mainstream... then we will be begging for more GPU horsepower.Quote:

Well it's confirmed on CHH that RV790 uses TSMC's most expensive 55nm process. For what, then?Quote:

FUD has a big chance of getting everything wrong. 480SPs, 8800GT match, all etc. His ATi sources have a pretty mediocre track record.
Wait, can't we extrapolate how fast this chip will be at 950mhz by other people's runs at 950 using current 4870s on water/ice/LN2? Provided we believe that there are no extra shaders etc.
Abit just died man:p:Quote:

If you wait only a few more months, if you can of course, you'll have next-gen architecture right there with some real improvements:D At least, normally it's like that, ain't set in stone though:rolleyes:
Well, I agree with you if you mean the people who just bought the newer nvidia and ATI cards. But not everyone has new cards and depending on how this is priced it could be a great card to buy instead of the gtx285 so you don't have to deal with multi-gpu'sQuote:

But the shaders will remain the same as in rv770 or not?

Please give us the source of your information. I'm interested now!Quote:

I've read his posts back when ATi was still independent company and 99.9% cases he is spot on.
They should put better VRM's on HD 4850 and HD 4870 ,overclock it and rename it to HD 5850 and HD 5870. At least that's what nVidia would have done in this situation.
fixed :p:Quote:

ATI Radeon HD4890 and Radeon HD4890 X2: Rumors from the Cebit
At the Cebit PC Games Hardware had the chance to talk to AMD's board partners about the Ati Radeon HD 4890 and a possible HD 4890 X2.
http://www.pcgameshardware.com/aid,6...he-Cebit/News/Quote:
The board partners want to remain anonymous of course and thus we can't guarantee that the following details are one hundred percent correct.
Based on the information we received during our conversations it seems like the Ati Radeon HD 4890 (Single) will compete against the Geforce GTX 260 and not the GTX 285, since it seems like for the Ati Radeon HD 4890 only the frequencies of the GPU and the memory were increased. Accordingly the calculation units aren't changed. Basis for the increased frequencies is the 55 nm production process, which has been quite perfected by now. 850 to 900 MHz appear to be possible for the RV790 GPU; the RV770 of the HD 4870 is clocked to 750 MHz. As the GDDR5 memory of the HD 4890 (Single) is regarded, AMD wants to reach 3,900 million transactions/s - RV770 based cards reach 3,600 MT/s. Those numbers indicate an increase in gaming performance of 8 to 20 percent, depending on game and sequence.
PC Games Hardware also wanted to know the odds for and against a possible Ati Radeon HD 4890 X2. From a technical point of view such a card shouldn't be a problem, but it remains to be seen if AMD will really invest time into such a prestige object. A Radeon HD 4890 X2 might hit the markets only if it can noticeably beat the Geforce GTX 295. Probably AMD will leave it up to the board partners to build such a card or they are looking for exclusive partners like they did with the HD 4850 X2 which is available from Sapphire only.
The Radeon HD 4890 is supposed to hit the markets on April 6. This date, which has been brought up by VR-Zone initially, has been secretly confirmed by the board partners. But as usual such a date can easily be rescheduled ad hoc. We were also told that the cards will cost €230 to €240, although it is unclear if the cards will have 1 or 2 GiByte VRAM initially.................
