AMD: R7xx Speculation

[Wirmish]

RV770 vs. R580 very close in size.

~300mm2 vs. 352mm2

Not so close !

Look at the holes vs the "shield" in the center.
RV770 seems much smaller.

I stay with my prediction -> 276mm²

 

[w0mbat]

An impossible number.

Why? Maybe its 25 GTexel/s.

 

[Wirmish]

ATi for ever ! -> link

 

[AlexV]

Why?

Because it's not an integer. Or perhaps the movement to extreme pipelines makes their count become fractional. If it's ~24GTexels though, that's another story.

25 should be 40 TMU

 

[Shtal]

Not so close !

Look at the holes vs the "shield" in the center.
RV770 seems much smaller.

I stay with my prediction -> 276mm²

Look at the "GPU" vs. the "silver metal shield around GPU" the distance between.

Wonderful realization there. And good quickie edit.

 

[leoneazzurro]

Look at the "GPU" vs. the "silver metal shield around GPU" the distance between.

The metal shields are not equal, IMHO, while holes for fixing the cooler are the same.
What we can say now it's that's smaller than R580 and fairly bigger than RV670.

 

[Wirmish]

Maybe 300mm²... maybe not... we will see.

But it's definitively not 256mm².

EDIT: Need some hi-rez photo... and not with an angle plz !

Did I miss something or this the same link that was posted on last page?

 

[AlphaWolf]

seems to be a fairly small hit for going from 2xAA to 4xAA in call of juarez.

~10% or 3fps.

Yes, but the scores weren't uploaded yet when that link was posted last page, only the board shots.

 

[v_rr]

Any 9800GTX to compare COJ at those settings?

The scores are not bad with 480SP's, but I will wait for 800SP's scores.

800SP/10 arrays/10 tex arrays/16 ROPs

800 SP (160 5D); 40 TMUs; 16 ROPs is the final specs . Check for confirmation chiphell's GPU Roadmap .

If it's 10 arrays this is impossible (assuming the tus are still shared across the arrays) since the array length would still be 16 and 40 doesn't divide easily by 16 .

I would never spend more then ~$299.00 US. dollars for the video card, which is GT200 is out of my budget range.

I hate to bring this up again, but it seems Newegg (and perhaps other places) are certainly trying to clear out their 9800GTX stock, as there's one listed with a $75 rebate to drop the price to $219.

Although between a 9800GTX and a HD4850, I'd probably opt for the unknown and try out the new AMD card.

FX Scores!!!

You don't get any cookie until you explain how they put all that stuff in 260 mm2.

A bag of holding?
