Guys, what if this is really a "cover-up" for the ultimate 40nm refresh of the same chip generation, like the 2900--> 3870? I wouldnt be surprised if ATI has caught Nvidia off-guard at this. At 40nm, even 950 MHz seems possible. It would just really make sense to have more TMU's.

With R800 that might include DX11 hardware, ATI really needs to improve anisostropic filtering so that it's no longer angle-dependent at 45 degrees. Come on, bring on 32x AF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! At 2560x1600, we'd certainly see a big improvement in IQ with 32x AF.
