NDA for R520 Expiry Date

[zgemboandislic]

Does anyone know?

 

[Rys]

Yes, but we're under NDA about the NDA.

 

[trinibwoy]

The expiry date is under NDA.

 

[zgemboandislic]

Wow you guys are fast! Anyways, I didn't know NDA expiry date was a secret...

 

[tEd]

5.10.05

One thing to note that if we assume lost coast is in some way tight to the r520 launch then the date seems realistic. Valve said lost coast will be released very close after DoD:Source which will available at 26. sept.

These last 20 days are gonna seem like 20 years

I see what happened now. ATI thought 5.10.05 meant October 5th, when it was supposed to be May 10th.

5.10.05

That's my bet too. And just think, in only another week we get to bitch about them missing "late summer". Any ATI-bashers, get it out now while the getting is still good.

But, y'know, somewhere else, of course.

Damn europeans, heh?

Could be worse. At least they'll have it announced before their early October financial results call.

ya.... damn us for letting them go away and play with date numbers....
i guess they have to compensate for something.... "look our dates are bigger"...



sorry, couldnt resist... i am also interested in that info, i just wanna see r420/480 prices down

And lo behold ...

Thats not what he was implying. It was just another one of his shots to take at ATi, as usual.

I'm betting a bit earlier...

 

[IgnorancePersonified]

bloody yanks messed up the dates! combine that with stupid english way of putting the cricket score 1st then the wickets last and this time of year confuses the crap out of me!

What was i going to say... oh yes this bumbling, delayed tripping_over_thier_own_feet 'launch' seems to have actually worked in Ati's favour. Generated a lot of interest and speculation.

Getting too offtopic here but dont Aussies use a differnet scoring format in Cricket than the rest of the world ? Nice to see Aussies getting whipped this summer, Ashes is finally back.

CJ, mind giving a more obvious hint on the date.

 

[IgnorancePersonified]

Yeh I am doing the "retreat into the neutral corner and say it's good for the game" stuff right now but in all honestly after what - 16 years of total dominance? the game was boring. I wouldn't class it as a whipping though.

The metric system was used by 'the rest of the world' at one stage.

 

[skazz]

Highly offtopic: so are all you Aussies going to move over and become fanatical Australian Rules supporters, now that you are letting the cricket (and rugby) slide?

 

[CJ]

CJ, mind giving a more obvious hint on the date.

Nope. I don't wanna shoot myself in the foot and look like a complete idiot if ATi changes the launchdate at last minute.

But if I could make a guess... I would say before the end of the month with availability early October. One big brand from Dutch origin already has X1600s ready for release so these cards could be out on the shelves on launchday. Dunno exactly about the X1800.

^ hmmm thanks.
