ATI Radeon HD 4000 Series discussion

[Mechromancer]

Only 16 ROPS just like my crappy 2900XT? Performance in today's (non-UT3 engine) games will probably still be mediocre. The R700 will probably PWN in all UT3 based games and newer game engines, though. Nvidia won't be able to keep up in shader intensive game engines this time around I bet. Unfortunately for ATI, there aren't too many of those game engines currently. I think the R700 needs to drastically increase the texture fillrate, compared to the R600, to be competitive.
