8800 series looks pretty sweet, and performs amazingly.. anyone know anything about ATI's response, or are they still going to hold a place in that market, since AMD bought them out...
i mean i type in ati.com and it transfers to ati.amd.com lol

The R600 is planning to be released sometime in the near future, which will blow the G80 away.

I'm not being a fanboy, the facts are that the R600 is going to insanely outperform the G80.

I was just playing. Anyhow you want to give me a link to an article explaining this please.

i'd believe it... though NVidia's solution is 384-bit, its still GDDR3... ATI's got GDDR4
then again... this new stream processing NVidia is using... i duno it could go either way...

no wonder the 8800gtx outperforms crossfire x1950xtx.
128 "stream processors"
not to mention geometry shaders. we shall see.

ATI's R600 will be true 512-Bit. If I can find the articles about it again, i'll post them.

From what I hear, the power requirements of the R600 chips are likely to be significantly worse than those of the G80s.

I hear that as well. I also heard that one of the power adapters required will be a new, specially designed one, which will take in 250-300 watts of power, in addition to the 6-Pin PCI-E connector now.

 

[fade2green514]

yea, nvidias stream processor supposedly uses a lot less power.

That's awesome. Has anyone heard from vodoo lately? Rumor has it that they are working on and insane video card.
