AMD: R8xx Speculation

[no-X]

IIRC, thats 1500 PER Vendor...

Isn't it exactly what I wrote in my previous post? :smile:

Dude, 3093 × 3231 pixels?!

Soon we might replace 56Kb Warning with 1Mb Warning

Not only was it ridiculously and annoyingly huge, it was also a bit of a hotlink. Please don't post uber mega giga huge images, and don't hotlink. Thank you!

 

[eastmen]

Whats the chances of a 2gig 5850 ? Might want to hold off for that.

Images don't work anyway. I think shader/clock is fixed, whereas memory can be pretty much anything from DDR2-800 to DDR3-1600 for a HD5550. Should be a ok-ish card as long as it comes with ddr3 and is passively cooled. It is floating around for a while, though there never really was something like a launch, and I haven't seen any review neither. Might be OEM only.

I thought it was supposed to be an OEM card only, but if that were the case, we wouldn't be seeing a boxed version, would we? Then again, it's still not on Newegg, so...?

Maybe retail in Asia?

they are most likely ddr2 only (as in, more than 90% cards) and low profile with a tiny whiring fan.
though I agree your fantasized version would be very good.. but we've yet to see a 5570 with a good cooler.

HD5550 will be here in DDR2 and DDR3 formats ($69 and higher MSRP.)

HD59x0 series will have 4 parts, 5950,5970, 5970 4GB and 5990.

5990? I thought that was only a custom number used by Sapphire. I guess the 5970 4GB is the E6 and 5950 is the lower clocked brethren - maybe two 5830s slapped together .. god that would be an ugly part.

5830 is quite nice when Crossfired. Certainly a good option versus a single 5870?

When? :smile:

Soon(tm)

Quite close to HD5570. What's the price difference between DDR2 and DDR3 nowadays?
btw that's quite amazingly different memory bandwidth for the same chip. From DDR2-800 (HD5550) to GDDR5-4000 (HD5670). A factor of 5... Of course, there's also some computational difference between these two extremes, but only by a factor of 1.75 (4 simds at 550Mhz vs. 5 simds at 775Mhz).

MSRP for 5450 is $59, 5570 is $79.. how much would a 5550 logically cost?

Right, makes sense. Though that 59$ for the no-performance 5450 is quite a lot.

When you think how much a soundcard capable of bitsreaming all the HD audios cost, that $59 is suddenly quite cheap looking

Nice logic... so... can I expect, that 5950 (~5550+400) will cost $69+400 = $469?
