    The LAST R600 Rumours & Speculation Thread

    Even if Nvidia would sell bags of crap, and Ati bags of gold for the same price, we would see a larger bags of crap than bags of gold number in the Steam survey. The total lack of marketing must be some kind of Canadian thing, as if they shame themselves for being it. Could it be the yearly...

    would u prefer the AMD or ATI logo on ur grafix board?

    Ati. AMD has a bit of a dull logo imo.

    Avivo & h264

    I just went from 6.6 to 6.3. With PowerDVD7 the CPU usage went from 99 to ~40-90, and playback becomes much smoother, however far from perfect. If i play it with Windowsmediaplayer the CPU usage stays @ 99% and very choppy playback. I think you must go back to 5.13 but i can't install this...

    Avivo & h264

    Well, as we can see in the first post it still doesn't work with 6.6

    Avivo & h264

    I thought that my X1900XTX was capable of playing 1080i/p h264 smoothly, thnx to the marvelous Avivo. But now i've tried it, but can't get it smooth. Ofcourse not, a CPU usage of 99%! So what's the problem? I use the Cyberlink/Ati h264 trial codec/player and some .ts h264 source material.

    Still no real SM3 approach for ATI 1K series in Splinter Cell CT

    HDR only works (for Ati) in 1.4

    Which was leaked.. I meant official support/patch.

    It almost becomes "funny". I clearly see Ati advertising on Ati.com with Farcry HDR+AA screenshots, while they officially even don't have HDR (without AA) support in that game!

    Why Can't Nvidia cards do..

    So when can Ati users take advantage of this feature or is it the next 3DC? At this moment, there is only ONE game which has official MSAA+FP HDR support for Ati where Nvidia can't do it, Serious Sam2. Farcry: no official patch out yet. AOE3: no FP blending HDR for Ati. SCCT: no FP...

    Crossfire Super AA vs. SLI AA

    True. But this is the second set of Ati screenshots (first was HL2) in one week where i miss things. I hope this is the end and not see something more soon... That's what i'm wondering too. Maybe it takes the sm2.0 (R3/4xx) path? If i remembered correctly this was an issue with SCCT too.

    Crossfire Super AA vs. SLI AA

    I miss some shadows too, from the tree projected on the water. Plus shadows on buildings are more intense in the Nv shot. Seriously, except for the better AA and better filtering in some places the Ati shot looks like crap imo.

    Crossfire Super AA vs. SLI AA

    I don't hope that Ati makes a "hobby" of "missing things", this doesn't look good too AoE3 X1800XT: http://img68.imageshack.us/my.php?image=fsaahdr9bb0xy.jpg 6800U: http://img91.imageshack.us/my.php?image=age320060129001438739ae.jpg Not sure if this is already solved with newer drivers or...

    Why isnt the R580 a lot faster in Shader intensive games?

    And 3DM06.

    Crossfire Super AA vs. SLI AA

    Yeah, the power wires look better on the Ati shot but the trees in the distance look too soft i think, it's sharper on Nvidia. Not only the trees btw but also things like the brick wall and the roofs look sharper. And why forgets Ati to render some vegetation on the ground?

    Futuremark: 3DMark06

    If i compare a 3DMark05 Ati/Nv image, i can see that the Nv shadows (due to DST) are more aliased than Ati's shadows. I have never seen a reference image so i don't know which card is "correct", but i assume Ati (shadows have softer edges). So your statement about 'ensuring correct shadow...
