ATI R600 FULL Launch Line Up: R600XL Info !!

[Bounc3y]

so there is a 1g XT after all.. wonder how much performance lead it has above the 512 card.. bring on the cards :p

[dinos22]

i reckon ATI is in bed with Dell with the 1GB cards for exclusivity dropped pants it seems

Doubt much in most cases. THe few it might help out a little but its not like we'll be seeing them, let alone fitting at least a stock one into our typical cases.

Yea disregard my post on the differences....:p

Kinc has already stated that members using watercooling will be awarded an above average increase in overclocks compared to those on air.

problem with todays cards is that you need those ridiculous looking full blocks

Name one besides nvidia dual gpu card that needs full cover block where just gpu waterblock with ramsinks was not sufficient.

i dont understand how u gets get 64 TMU, when most sites says 32 ...

http://www.digit-life.com/articles2/...g80-part1.html

NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GTX - 768MB GDDR3, 575/1350/1800 MHz, 128 unified processors/32 TMUs/24 ROPs - $599;

http://www.xbitlabs.com/articles/vid.../gb8800_5.html

So, the G80 contains a total of 32 TMUs each of which is designed like follows:

i dunno maybe u multiply by 2 b/c it has larger bus?? anyone?

and yeah if G80 has twice the TMU, then at lower clock speed 575 , it should outperform R600's 32TMU @ 730, besides it has 24 ROP vs R600's 16 ROP ...

and expansive, too ... older GPU's waterblock used to be around 50 to 80.. now G80's waterblocks r 110+ ...

hmm, most companies put women on their graphics cards....
sapphire dares to be different.

you don't have to but RAMsinks fall off and you need to use fans on top >> most people find it more conventient >> i have a MCW60 on the way and have some RAM sinks so i don't mind but not sure how other people are about this

Radeon HD 2950XTX comes in Q3

R650 is the Radeon HD 2950XTX

ATI hasn't launched the R600 yet and it is already planning its next launch of a die shrinked version. It won't be launching the 1024 MB graphics card until Q3. It plans to launch the R650 chip and brand it as Radeon HD 2950XTX, 1024 MB GDDR4.

The chip is called R650 and it is a 65 nanometre core, how convenient. With this new chip ATI might have a fighting chance against the Geforce 8800 Ultra, but the real question is what will Nvidia have at that time.

The cards are scheduled for late Q3, so you should expect them to arrive in August or September, unless they get postponed.

I doubt this...Nvidia won't have anything to compete against this until g90/g100 which is q1 2008 at the earliest.

2900XL confirmed in June for 279$

Radeon HD 2900 XL in late June

$279 card

R600 will have even more iterations and the cheaper version of the chip called XL is scheduled for late June.

We don’t have many details about the specification but we know that it should cost around $279 and be a direct competitor of the Geforce 8800 GTS 320 cards.

The Radeon HD 2900XL comes with a 512 MB of memory.

i hope they have the same mounting holes as the x1900s then i can just swap it over or something

G80 has 32TMUs, each with 2 Texture Filtering Units and 1 Texture Address Unit (2:1 ratio).
R600 will probably have 32TMUs with just 1 Texture Filtering Unit (1:1 ratio, jst like G84/G86).

ROPs are not really important. GeForce 6600 had only 4 ROPs against 6800Ultra with it's 16 ROPs and didn't show any weakness.

X2900XT have Hynix 1.0ns (same as x1950XT 256mb )


























http://forum.coolaler.com/showthread.php?t=152864

the x1950xt 256mb i had could run ~2100mhz @ stokvolts

Ah nice. That should be an easy clock to 2000Mhz at least.

[polarbear]

How is R650 going to be named 2950XTX or
2900XTX PE that would be a nice name.

[mascaras]

Ah nice. That should be an easy clock to 2000Mhz at least.

they are rated 2.0ghz (1.0ns)


hynix 1.0ns of X1950XT 256mb can run 2100mhz

I predict Nvidia launches an interim product this summer that is 80nm with 160 stream processors and over 700MHz core with the 2500MHz memory from the Ultra.

And for how long did they not have any competition?

Volcano classic review

[GLENBOY]

the pic of the card above on coolalers thread looks like a 1 gb card rather than a 512mb card as the ram chips are on both the underside and upperside

[[XC]Atomicpineapple]

I'm looking at these cards from a crunchers point of view, as well as a gamers point of view. So I wonder if there'll be a platform out that lets us run these cards in crossfire with the upcoming AgenaFX S1207 CPUs (I dont see nVidia being too happy about crossfire working on their 680a chipset on the current QuadFX mobo). That way theres a lot of folding power in 1 box when FAH gets around to making a GPU client for the 2900s

For the 512bit interface, you need chips on both sides. So it may still be 512MB (not saying it is). Also, for 1GB they could be using denser chips.
