Specs of new ATI cards, at Techpowerup

reading some of the stats I am very suprised.
check out the X1600XT.

12 vertex shaders, 256 bit memory, at under $200

**Vapor** · 10-03-2005, 04:12 AM

Yes, all three series look quite nice

X1600XT has 128-bit memory interface...but its bandwidth is still probably very sufficient with 1.4GHz RAM

Yup, hence the reason I've been waiting for em for a while

Though they're coming no sooner than December cos ATi wants to sell its (very tempting) X800GT/GTO line of cards.

But yea, for those who have wasted their entire summer wondering the specs, behold:

Here's to hoping they'll be a Connect3d version of the X1800XT/XL on Tigerdirect for $399 at before 2k6

*crosses fingers*

Just thinking: Boy is the XL gonna rake in the money for manu's...if a $549 card can have 512MB 1.2ns GDDR3 and a better tested core, and still expected to turn a decent profit, then imagine how much profit comes from a $449 card with half the memory at a lowly 1GHz and a less-tested core. Not to mention more of them are probably going to be sold than 512MB XTs.

heres to hoping i can get a x1600 before i break down and buy a gto2

**Vapor** · 10-03-2005, 04:24 AM

I'm pretty sure you'd rather have an XTpe *cough*, I mean GTO2

**One_Hertz** · 10-03-2005, 04:25 AM

Doesnt say anything about pipelines and shaders... Looks like a gtx killer regardless

It certainly does talk about pipes

They're calling them Shader Processors and Geometry Pipelines.

we dont know how far these will clock though

i just love breaking things

**mrlobber** · 10-03-2005, 04:36 AM

While nobody doubts anymore that the X1800XT will kill the 7800GTX, it's pretty funny to read a new 9th wave of discussions popping up less than 3 days from the official launch of the product

An interesting thing was just pointed out at rage3d. One member there outlined many grammatical and spelling errors present in these sheets (and got immediately bashed by some fanboys), which could mean they're perhaps fake or at least put together in such a haste that they might contain some significant deviations from the final version of these documents.

**Magnj** · 10-03-2005, 05:45 AM

hmm I can get 5500 on 05 with my 800XL, maybe Its not worth the bump till I can afford the 1850XTPE lol

Too bad we never know when to trust them

**cupra** · 10-03-2005, 05:50 AM

wow that looks very cool.
the white cooling, i dont know if that will be the answer, ati will disappoint me.

**einCe** · 10-03-2005, 07:55 AM

I wouldn't trust this more than the inq... If true, then by all means. If false, you think we're the only ones reading inq? Or, inq is the only one with "moles"?

**Vapor** · 10-03-2005, 08:02 AM

The fact that W1zzard posted these gives me some confidence that these were once ATi's slides if they still aren't. If they're no longer the slides, then the new ones are better.

**Ugly n Grey** · 10-03-2005, 08:14 AM

When the cards are the market and the stats are confirmed far and wide, I want to go back through the old thread ands offer butt kickings to all the folks who were really rude to others during the performance debates. Especially to the Sanderson supporters. What was the link to that guys site? I want to see if he is taking any heat now.

**Vapor** · 10-03-2005, 08:24 AM

*Vapor runs to delete any posts he doesn't want Aunt Ugly to see*

Troman--I really doubt they'd cater to us THAT much...we're not 100% of the community afterall

don't read into the marketing talk, it's just 128-bit combined with that "ring bus" feature.
