Hmm, 384 bit Tahiti, this certainly won't be any smaller chip than Cypress, though perhaps not up to Cayman's size.

if all you have is hate for a brand, you're gonna be right some of the time. You don't really think that just because he was right about bulldozer means that he'll be right about Southern Islands do you?
Wasn't the 8800GTX on a new architecture? That thing turned out to be amazing. Of course, that wasn't AMD...ive been looking through this thread and im disappointed in the hate and expectations.
this gen is a 1st gen on a new arch so the drivers will suck, its on a new process affter skipping a gen and having very little test hardware if at all, and it was supposed to be out last year showing up the 5870 and since there were none of thees out they did not get the time to make a hardware changes based on performance needs. so its going to be alot like the 4890 v 5870, with that fight u had a fully working driver with a high clocked reworked core to maximize overclocking vs a heavy change in the GPU on a new process. this will be the same and at launch it wont do much better as the hd6 is the perfected hd5.
so as i see it, if amd gets better than the hd6 at launch it will be a success since if they can keep xfire scaling up, it will let amd keep the performance crown
Anyway I'm just throwing out ideas here.

The reason the gtx 580 was amazing at the time was there was also such a huge increase in the amount of shaders compared to the old architecture.
From 24 and 8 pixel and vertex shaders respectively to 128 unified at much higher clocks too. These were real shaders too. The r600 was so disappointing because it relied on only 64, 5 way shaders and relied on a new AA scheme which relied on more shaders to do the work.

The 8800GTX was also in the hands of more than a few companies before the 7800GTX 256 hit the market. I still remember the arguments on this very site because I had already had hands on time with the thing when sites like xbitlabs were claiming it'd be a hybrid chip. Granted, the original G80 chip wasn't the 384-bit monster that released to the public (it was 256bit, actually closer to matching the 8800GT than the 8800GTX), but NVidia spent a LOT more time perfecting that card than anyone on here would believe. After all, it was actually in the design phase before we even saw the NV40 (G80 was titled the NV50 at that time, IIRC) and had received mention a few times during that time frame. NVidia spent YEARS on that design, and it paid off big time.
NVidia actually puts a lot more time into the design and testing phase than most people on here would believe could be even remotely profitable (a part of the reason their cards are a bit higher in the price range), just to make sure they never have another FX mistake. Late is one thing, but late AND extremely under-performing isn't going to happen again.
AMD/ATi have had issues when it comes to full scale brand new designs the past few attempts, and they usually fix it the next time around. HD 2900 was fixed with the HD 4800 (the 3870 was a step in the right direction, but it still wasn't without issue). The X1800 was fixed with the X1900, although the X1800 performance wasn't "bad" per-say either.
That said, I'm actually seriously hoping AMD show up with a serious competitor. I'd prefer we don't see stagnation in the gpu market like we have in the CPU market. These 30-40% jumps just don't catch me like we use to see. Remember the jump from the 9800xt to the x800xt? What about the 7900GTX to the 8800GTX? Speed jumps have dwindled, and games taking advantage have dwindled along with it. On a positive note though, you can buy a solid card and actually have it perform admirably for a longer time-frame now, which is definitely a positive note.
Not really... what you should have said is G80 could handle 128 threads per clock while R600 could only do 64 threads per clock.

I hope these are a big step above the 6000 series. I'm still going to wait for nVidia's response before i buy a new card. AMD's drivers just arent that good.

Yeah I agree, ATI might have a better hardware model at the moment, but I'm fed up with the instability of their drivers. If the Nvidia product is at a similar performance level and runs at reasonable temps/power consumption I'm going to go with them next round simply because I trust their software guys a lot more
The Jist of what I wanted to say was, first generation, r600. It was shaders starved. That why it did so bad at the time with AA, since it used shader power for it.
Another thing I wanted to clarify if any people didn't know is I was talking about the gtx 8800. I read the anandtech article a long time ago. The thing with AMD 5 way shaders is in a best case scenario they have the ability to process 5 threads or 320. But in a worst case it is 64. Increase the clock or adding more shaders, removed this bottleneck and AMD had fantastic gains. Which is why AMD had better results with the 4870 than NV did with the gtx 280.

Yeah, G70/71 is much closer to NV 40 than to G80, mArch wise speaking.

Nope, we are all wrong.
There are two different variants of the car floating around as confirmed by VR-Zone.
There is this screen shot (Tweaktown)
It also includes two 8-pin PCI Express power connectors, which should give it up to 375W of power to suck down. The card, however, is powered by the SIG-approved 6-pin plus 8-pin config, which uses up to 300W of power.
Then there is this one (vr-zone)
There is a crucial difference from the previous leak - this sample consists of 2 x 6-pin PCI-e connectors, as opposed to the 8-pin + 6-pin configuration previously captured. This could suggest that this is either an advanced production ready sample, or Tahiti Pro, or HD 7950, which should feature a lower TDP than Tahiti XT / HD 7970. This card thus has a TDP somewhere between 150W and 225W.
