Hey Terry, are you going to be there?CATALYST MAKER said:\kemosabe said:DaveBaumann said:
Errr, do you think NVDA would allow DH (where Terry Makedon is almost part of the furniture) to tinker with any of their unreleased hardware? Oh, and you certainly haven't let on about NVDA being further down the line before. Care to elaborate?
"Yes."
I've been called many things before but never furniture....

Of course, he'll be the work bench.{Sniping}Waste said:

Yassou! Somehow I knew you'd be monitoring a thread like this, which further suggests that ATI is about to release some new toys.
A suggestion: you guys have been far too silent lately, leaving the spotlight entirely to NVDA. You need to build that momentum and keep it going. I can't hold onto the stock forever, Terry!

Well, there was this quote in the DH "analysis"...
...which I thought was from Zardon but is in fact from The_Neon_Cowboy so our survey says "MEH-EHHH...".
It's red, so... Gainward Jit-Pong Uber-Bastit 6800 Ultragasmatron SLI? Dual NV4x (high-end) on one board? Haha.

i sure am gonna be there.
Slight correction, I do believe I heard someone call you a "knob" over at that place that I now spit whenever I say the name of it.CATALYST MAKER said:I've been called many things before but never furniture....
I know it's technically a piece of a piece of furniture rather than a piece of furniture, but I've got an extreme case of the puppies so I thought I'd be safe and mention it.

Everyone miss out on what TheInq had to say?
Next ATI card will have 512MB memory
R480 with more memory
WE EXPECT that ATI will be making an announcement, maybe as early this weekend, about a 512MB version of its X850 card.
The evidence? Here's the rundown...
ATI is sponsoring a big overclocking tournament this weekend. It is publicly saying that there will be an 'unveiling' of some sort, but no-one knows what it is.
Some of the world's top overclockers, including chaps going by the name of Oppainter, Fugger and Macci are going out there to go and take on the world record 3DMark. Aside from the fact that current ATI hardware will barely scrape the world record, these guys have been told to expect new hardware to fiddle with.
Then, there are benchmarks and blurry photos showing up on tech site Driver Heaven, which appears to have a new bit of kit in its mitts.
Analysis of the benchmarks at the site makes one thing clear - it isn't more pipes. It isn't faster clocks. All the specific scores indicate the performance characteristics of adding more memory.
ATI, of course, wouldn't tell us what it is it has up its sleeves. Sources outside of ATI also indicate to us that a 512MB part is imminent. If we're wrong, we'll just have to eat our GPUs.
Graphics RAM is becoming more interesting, at the moment. ATI is clearly playing it both ways, with this new announcement increasing the amount of on-board memory and its HyperMemory technology decreasing it. It's interesting to consider why anyone would need 512MB memory right now, and the answer is to run at stupidly high resolutions or to run with lots of anti-aliasing. There is also the question of graphics memory moving to next-generation XDR technology, from RAMBUS.
More, we suspect, to come this weekend

So what .. XDR memory or 1.8Ghz DDR3 on the X850XT PE??
Also .. on the pic, can anyone decipher how many pipes the R950 XT has?? If it's real of course. :?

So .. from the pic (not that it's real of course :? ) .. what 900 Memory and 750 Core?
What else?

You been dipping into my stash US? Adding memory wouldn't help worth beans in the tests we saw.Unknown Soldier said:

Of course the pick could be fake. :?

Zardon already said it's not current tech. He also mentioned that there is more unreleased hardware in his rig besides the videocard.
so its either:
a new mainboard(with ati chipset for intel) + ati nextgen card(s)
or
a new mainboard (with nvidia chipset for intel) + nvidia nextgen card(s)
or not
