Nvidia is busted if this is true

[alexio]

On the other hand, I don't think this is true, atleast the name isn't. Why would they call a complete new generation of cards X900 instead of XI800 ?

[skate2snow]

Because thats how they previously worked, and why XI?

This is most likely true since we are very close to the release.... I just hope the price wont bump again!

[ettis]

Hurray !!
By the way, the link doesn't work.

[alexio]

There's no Geforce 6900 either and the X850 would be more like the difference between the R300 and R350.

And if you don't call it XI800, what would you call it else? 11800?

These should be cool. BTW, is the 1400mhz ram 1.2 ns or 1.0ns??

[alexio]

1.4ns

or maybe 1.2ns

[Stuperman]

omg, that is teh pwnsauce.

IIRC the inq had a story a long time ago that said the R520 was only going to have 6 vertex units, but I will never ba able to find the link, and plans could have changed.

p.s. bad link.

Over on EOCF we already saw this, and the specs have not been finalized by ati, there waiting for g70 to show its ugly face. After that, they will finalize to bash g70. Also, supposedly they have been delayed to August ish.

Radeon X900 XT-PE @ $800......... ???

[[XC] leviathan18]

the x900xt pe is way too close to the specs of the r500 for the xbox and ati said we wont see 32 pipes until next year ¬¬

[DilTech]

Leviathan, do you have a source link for the "won't see 32 pipes until next year" comment?... I know alot of fanATic's who would crap themselves reading that.

[Sentential]

if the x900PRO is 24 pipes, Im buying

[=[PULSAR]=]

MSRP yet on any of these? Seems like the x850's prices are still pretty jacked up

[Disposibleteen]

no they arent, they can be had for aroud $450, thats only $50 more than i paid for my X800 Pro back in the day.

Leviathan, do you have a source link for the "won't see 32 pipes until next year" comment?... I know alot of fanATic's who would crap themselves reading that.

actually there is a link but i dont find it it was E3 time link so now is kind of difficult to find but ati said that we wont see something like r500 until next year

[Frisch]

I wish i lived in US, when we're talking prizes.

But i dont, so dont make fun of my 9700PRO, it kinda gave birth to all these kiddys.

[turtle]

I thought a couple days ago it was being reported R520 was being respun because something or other was making it leak...and 32pipe yields were not so good, but 24pipe was very good. Of course, speculation and rumour was probably all it was, but this could be as well.

If it is 32 pipes from the beginning and the yields are good enough to keep the prices and availability out of "paper launch for six months" land, ATi will massively own this product cycle, as the "950xt" will most likely be 32 pipes as well, with just a higher clockspeed that people will achieve with normal x900's anyway...Very cool.

Hmm...Anyone else curious if the 512mb "PRO" version will have the ability to be flashed to 32 pipes (that may or may not work)? Knowing ATi and them liking to keep production of types of boards to a minimum...I wouldn't rule it out.

[perkam]

Has fake written all over it I'm afraid.

[shadowing]

Too fake to me. If this one is true, nVidia is slaughtered. But it can't be. Too similar to the ones used in the Xbox 360. I thought ATI said it wasn't even close to it for the desktop versions...

[Cooper]

These should be cool. BTW, is the 1400mhz ram 1.2 ns or 1.0ns??

I think, as it was mentioned, that it`s 1.4 ns which gives you max of ~1430 MHz. 1.2 ns = 1667 MHz. 1.0 ns = 2000 MHz
P.S. link works for me & it`s a chineese site.

They might be longer than guessed? And could be true, but we might not see the xt models until late this year But Nvidia is going to be far behind if those are the true specs, no doubt about that!

[Cooper]

Troman and what`s wrong woth that ? I think that high-end VGA should have this amount of mem.

[koei]

that extra 256MB shouldn't cost more than $100 for the chips itself. How much actual difference will be is up to the manufactures.
