Huddy says "R600"

Kewl. So according to The Inq, the R600 has managed to drop by 70W in less than one day! OMGFATIr0x!!!!!1!!

 

LOL, that sounds much more resonable now

 

Maybe The Inq ment 180w for the gpu chip alone and 250w for the whole card.

God I've gone so low as to decipher from that site.

 

still can't see 250 watts on one card, man thats alot of juice, my whole system doesn't take more then 200 watts with 7 harddrives, a 4800+ creative sound blaster xfi fatality a 7800 512, 2 dvd burners, (everything going at max and it might just go above 200 at most 210 watts)

 

18x12=216W - yet X1900XTX under load along with the CPU under load and the efficiency losses of the PSU all amounts to 290W at the wall:

The PCI Express standard says 75W through the mobo + 75W through the dedicated power line.

The CrossFire X1950XTX configuration draws 110W more power than the single card config. Say 120W for a single card running at full clocks (CF down-clocks a bit).

Jawed

 

Crossfire downclocked an x1900xtx to x1900xt speed because the x1900 crossfire ran at x1900xt clockspeed but x1950 crossfire is same clock speed as the x1950xtx so it shouldn't do any downclocking (ooh say that 10 times)

 

18A * 12V = 216W

EDIT: oops, Jawed beat me to it...

 

i assumed someone would already add in what the card would draw through the socket because thats a given..

75+216 +/- 5% = ..

250-300W of heat from each videocard will be very interesting to evacuate from the case in a silent fasion.

 

Water cooling serial?

 

Actually i was thinking about messing around with a TEC on my next card regardless of power/heat (rumors true or not). Problably save me some space too with the way stock coolers have been growing. I just hate messing around with acrylic lacquer.

 

Someone posted these on another forum . Looks not real to me but hey it's a rumor thread.

 

I thought we were back to R6x0 or has that changed again?

 

"R600 will double the performance or R580"

 

Crappy, they definately look fake.

"R600 will double the performance or R580"

...

EDIT: Beaten! was searching for more spelling/grammatical errors

 

The second slide alone has three spelling/grammatical errors. You'd think a company about to unleash "absolute performance leadership" could afford an editor.

 

Yep, looks fake to me too.
The language used is not exactly the kind of polished, somewhat restrained wording common in real marketing materials.

 

Look at the small symbol on the G80 slide: http://img132.imageshack.us/my.php?image=hardspellslidenj6.jpg
Clearly, it's the same morons spreading the same FUD.

at least we are over the watt discussion because it started to annoy me
