digitalwanderer said:Personally I think all the rumors and numbers flying around the last few days are more or less just positioning and posing by ATi & nVidia for each other trying to psych the other guy out and mislead 'em about the actual card's stats.
nVidia has been swinging the "we got the ball-busting, 16-pipe, ATi killing card" and ATi is going with the "golly, they're card looks VERY fast and ours isn't so hot!" approach to try and lull nVidia into a false sense of security.
Whilst there's some truth to this, ATi have said quite the opposite - they've stated a number of times that they expect to beat NV40, regardless of the specs.
The Baron said:man, those memory clocks suck, especially if NV40 really is using 600Mhz DDR2. BAH. ATI, when will you learn?
It'll be a shame if they only ship with the memory clocked at 600mhz. 200mhz of headroom, nice. Ignoring the heat, obviously
