The ATI Radeon 5XXX Thread

[TheBlueChanell]

Any references? Or ...

If the 1600sp, 80 TMU and 20 ROP?? rumour is true I seriously believe that it will be at least 10-20% faster than a 4870x2 and probably even more. This is a single chip card thus you aren't going to have scaling issues or any of the caveats that come along with any multi-chip solution.

It would be as if the 4870x2 had 100% perfect scaling plus some additional horse power.

If the 4770 is any testement to the overclocking capabilities of the 58**'s we are in for quite a treat and I if I were a betting man I'd bet TSMC's 40nm process has matured quite nicely over the past few months.

This is all based on speculation and personal opinion but that is how I feel.
