AMD Cayman info (or rumor)

[kuroikenshi]

Buying 2 cards for Eyefinity will make a lot more sense than before as well. With 2 cards you would be necked by the 1GB limit faster than that you would be able to use the full power of 2.

With Cayman having 2GB you could just get 1 card and get a second one later when you need one, or just throw 1K on the table right now to get 2 GTX580s cause they still haven't added hardware support for surround.

It is rater disappointing that they did not manage to add any more features, although its the same mArch, hence why Cayman will be a good contender, plenty more features, eyefinity, stereo-tropic sound, and many more

i don't know, but amd's implementation of stereoscopic 3d looks more like beta testing grounds... doesn't really work that well yet.

didn't test it myself, but the guy over at 3dvision-blog.com really had a hard time getting everything to work, and even if he got the drivers to work the results often weren't as intended/expected.

Reminds me of OpenCL. Not enough support and too much relying on 3rd parties.

Actually it's rather new, and for what i know they take a different approach ... ( need say, the monitor and TV used by 3Dvision was just show problem of compatibility, the experience is totally different when you have a "fully " hardware compatible )

As all the visual industry is moving to the 3D, they just ensure their drivers and UVD are compatible and work with any system from Samsung, Sony, Asus etc etc for the 3D BlueRay things ..
Now for the 3D in games, the problem come more it's really the start, D3D and IZD have annonce now only focus on drivers solutions and stop the production of hardware..... let them a little bit of time for this ...
I think AMD is on the right way with it... you can use any hardware, monitor, glasses, TV 3D compatible and use it with any gpu's...
Asus, Dell, HP, or any other Laptop, PC builder, don't want to get the need to use a "Nvidia GPU's brand only" if they want to bring 3D games on their systems, when specially they have their own systems for 3D....
3D is becoming a "standard" and industry want a large public to acquire it .... Time will tell how it will turn....

@Zallbard, OpenCL have nothing to do by an exclusivity of AMD, there's around 30 IT entreprise working on it, including AMD, Nvidia, Microsoft, Apple, IBM, Intel etc etc...
OpenCL is a standard, like HTML5, or anything like this, it take times to finalise it... It's not a "software " and API like CUDA...
