So, do we know anything about RV670 yet?

That's increased (rounding) precision for SP, DP is not part of the DX spec AFAIK.
Is this chart in 100:1 scale?
Its actually the common percentage scale commonly used by IHVs. But really the box art doesnt tell you much.

If Leadtek says 10-35% faster than the RV670 you can bet it'll be a veeeeery close race.
I'm gonna wait before I buy something new, that's for sure. My 8800 GTS is ok for now. Only problem is that is begs for mercy in Crysis. Might have been delirium, but I thought I heard it moan.

ya where they chop the bottom 90% off the graph.

Er and Leadtek would use Rv670 rather than the actual product name?

First comparison of RV670 vs 8800GT... on Leadtek retail box.

Looks like NV and they AIB's scared like hell for rv670, its not coming a Q or 2Q later than they cards :smile:
Exactly what I was thinking. What consumer is going to know what the hell RV670 is? Boxes don't change this close to launch either. Me calls bs.
That's why they have stickers...
The 3850/3870 have yet to be officially announced. I don't think Leadtek would print a reference to the codename for the GPU meant to power these cards on their 8800 GT boxes, only to have to cover them up with stickers a few short weeks later. Not that there's any huge cost involved in doing so, but every dime adds up.

Which begs the questions.
1. Is it just a quick photoshop by someone? Or is Leadtek that desperate for marketing...
2. If they didn't even know the retail name of Rv670, how in the world would they know how it performs?
I think I'll continue as I've always done. Wait for a variety of reviews to see if something sticks out that will make me want to buy a new video card. Not REALLY in the market for a replacement. But a single slot card that might possibly out perform my current dual slot card is pretty tempting.

Ummm, you don't take a photo of a box for these types of images...

Show me a vendor that doesnt have a photo of its box. /eyeroll. The above screenshot clearly shows that it doesnt have to be on their retail box.
Well the above 'screenshot', does not look like a picture of a box. Its just a generated image, much like the other 'screenshot' looks like just a computer generated image. Real boxes have ways to open them and less than perfect corners.
An image of the box, yes. A photo of the box? Can't remember the last time I saw one.
Thus, discussion on 'is it a sticker or not', or 'why would they put RV670 and not the product name on there' becomes moot as the image is an illustration dumped out from a graphics program at some point, not necessarily an accurate representation of the final box as it went to print and exists in the real world.
