ATI`s R600 News Thread

[nn_step]

I been using ATI since the 9700 pro. I have to confess you have me confused. What is the driver issue's you are referring to . I have never had an issue. Please explain.

As for the R600 I might buy one I not sure . If I do it will be the last ATI card I ever buy. But might wait for the refresh. Since I have decided to wait for Wolfdale or Yorkfield. and DDR3. My wife bought my ARC-1220 raid controller. and raptor HD, from me. But will wait till vista release to install and replace the Bad axe M/B with one that will allow usage of the raid card. along with XF.

Things are moving way to fast right now.

I was gaming online with wifes C2D 6800 with XF earlier tonight. It is one hell of an experience on a 24" lcd. I might say tho going from my dothan gamer using a 20" lcd to the C2D using a 24" LCD takes a bit of getting use to.

These new cards coming from NV & ATI are going to be unbelieveable on a 30" LCD.

There are more OS's in this world than just M$'s
now I know they are working hard to improve this, but it'll be a few years before they get up to grade

but dx use is 95% of the cards market, and for windows they can optimise the drivers for the individual open gl games. Whilst this isn't ideal, it works for the vast majority of people out there who use the cards as gaming cards, and therefore use windows.

ATi have been saying for years that they will boost open GL non game performance, but until ATi get serious about competing with nvidia on workstation level cards, and boost their FireGL driver staff, it's not going to happen. Nvidia consistantly invest far more than ATi at this target market which benefits their open GL performance. Maybe now that ATi is part of AMD they'll concentrate more on this market, considering how much amd loves the workstation and professional market (nice markups), and would love to apply that to their gpu's as well.
