AMD: R8xx Speculation
- Thread starter Shtal
- Start date
Summary:
2 slightly different 5870 spec floating around, 825 or 850 core and 1.2 or 1.3 memory.
I certainly hope for the 1.3 memory as thats a much bigger deal with the card probably being BW limited.
SFR extension?
Chiphell *keeps* making noise about RV870, "native" dual cores (God knows) and SFR. Hmm.
Summary:
And some others say, like said, 850MHz core 1.2GHz GDDR5, and that $399 is 2GB's price
Interesting pic there, specifically that bottom left monitor...
It has nothing to do with Cypress/HD5870 3DMark06 score
If there are any Ati employees on this forum (and I know there are), I just need to have access to 24 Full HD projectors, four 5870s and some kind of facilities for a day or so for a project called game nirvana. Please help
It can be done. Therefore it must be done!

Well, I think that BW won't be a limitation when talking about DX11. DX11 needs far less BW than DX10 to do the same, so that BW limitation will only be noticeable when playing DX10 games.
So I guess that is a Cypress die shot? fellix, you got your pixel counting glasses?
Also the 5850 spec in the above table lists 32 ROPs, I've seen 30 ROPs somewhere else. Too many spec configurations floating around, however that 1440 alu configuration for the 5850 seems like a lock.
Sorry, but the marketing name for this multimonitor solution is not very well chosen. I also wonder if the focus will be mostly in gaming, in which case Gaming should've probably been put in the marketing name somewhere (similar to Surround Gaming), or in business applications as well. Matrox will not be happy about that anyway
What AMD needs to do now is push LCD monitor manufactures to make the bezel even slimmer.

"Dual 4890 Class" isn't #1 or even close in 3DMark06, and it's not even #1 for single card (HD4870X2's go around 38k)

I don't see anything wrong with it, and it's clearly "focused" on all around, aka gaming, business and productivity
Still a long way to go, with the obvious problem being bezel thickness*2 between each screen. Also this is a custom solution and the monitor probably a TN panel to keep costs down. A multi monitor setup will show the flaws of that particular panel type even more. Anyway it's still a nice addition and gaming in 2160*1920 will be great

Why were they able to stick two plasmas together for that 100+ TV, but they can't make a monitor with 2 sides of the screen having no border? Then, you could just mount the exposed ends together and have a seamless screen of up to 2x2.
