Bah. :\

Need a new card sometime, hurry plz ATI.

Unfortunately cameras weren't allowed in the Alan Wake demo room, so we couldn't capture the impressive demo or shots of the board running in the system.

Heh. I didn't see that sign...

 

[digitalwanderer]

So how was it Dave? Did it wowzer ya and you had to change your underwear or were you trying to keep a straight face and hold back a chuckle? :|

Burnishing that growing reputation as a conference trouble-maker again, eh?

 

[Geo]

"In a bit of a surprise", eh? Y'know, I think this is about as close as we've gotten (and maybe as close as we will ever get) to confirmation that R520 was scheduled for Computex launch and now isn't.

Because as much as I like to use Inq as a conversation starter, I don't rely on them.

I think Dave is my new hero. But he was before! What am I to do!

Worship at the Alter of Wavy?

 

[dizietsma]

Althougyh I doubt Dave will post the pictures somehow ( stating the bleeding obvious ) maybe someone managed to slip a camera phone in there.......

I still cannot get over the fact that Microsoft was using Apple machines to demo Xbox 360 games, seems a very strange decision.

More like a Buddha statuette, but with Dave's face.

The x360 uses a PowerPC based cpu, I think that explains it perfectly.

We aren't expecting to see the official R520 launch until later this year and not at Computex, based on information we've been hearing from Taiwan.

So is it delayed or not?

"...We have received information that ATi will be launching their R520 in August and the versions they are going to have are not finalized yet."

two month later then Geforce 7800 :? (of course if the rumored june release is accurate).

 

[Rur0ni]

August.. :\

Not too bad I guess...time flys fairly fast.

Yes paper tastes terrible (lunch is something you eat).
