Yes, Sapphire and Zotac are brands owned by PC Partner. Apart from that, PC Partner manufactures (or at least did in the past) the cards that were sold under the ATi brand and it's also usual that the first boards that get to the market under all brands are contract-manufactured by one company. That was the case with GeForce 8800 GTX for example.

Yeah, that's usual for ref ES boards. At least the texolite's been kicking around for a while.
Sapphire (AMD AIB) and Zotac (Nvidia AIB) are subsidiaries of PC Partner.

Take a peek at the ATI R7xx demo.

Impressive stuff. Based on the blurry previews we have of both demos ATI seems to be way out in front in terms of wow factor.
Edit: Doh late! At least my post has a rapidshare link to download the vids though

Holy Crap

Makes the Medusa demo look a bit silly in comparison
Albeit still very nice in its own right, particularly the animations!I've got to hand it to ATi, they've been making better demos than NV since the R300 days. Not to say NV's demos are poor, just ATi puts more effort into theirs and it shows.
Oh my god !

So what's the USA prices for that thing? That many dollars, as it generally is?
Then it's phenomenally cheap

Anyone know if 4000's are compatible for CF with 3000's ?
I wouldn't bet on the dollar to euro exchange rate, the dollar is weak enough that the old patterns don't hold any more. The price is pretty much in line with where it has to be - the 3850 can be had for as low as 85 euros with 512MB GDDR3, so these prices should give AMD a decent margin in comparison.

There goes a delay till 6/23.
That was close, for a minute I thought AMD was actually going to stick to a promised launch date.
Actually, this makes sense and its fairly smart of them to do, unlike other delays that were forced by lack of availability and whatnot.

Well they still can stick to the promised launch date of 4870 :smile:
