So, do we know anything about RV670 yet?

Wow check this out...Nvidia is really dominating.......Leave no price bracket seems to be their motto.

775mhz as the fastest SKU is not what I was hoping for
<hopes typos all over the page = fake/FUD>

I thought the HD3870 is a dual Slot card?

Could it be the yields or we were fooled along with the 800+ Mhz on core rumour?

I was expecting dual-slot too. I'm afraid to say, who knows?...

Man I hate FUD. Why can't it be the 19th already?

3870 and 3850 might be the one having aimed at
the replacement of 2900TX and each 2900PRO.

It seems that it became 775MHz and 668MHz as a result
of the clock adjustment by the thing that the band falls.

There is R680 high-end.

AMD 790FX board? Four videocards? I'm there.

 

[MrGaribaldi]

afaik, no need of special versions.

A bit of a late reply, but still..

No it doesn't need a special version of the game or shader or suchlike, but needs a special driver that comes with which'll grab the interesting info from the calls being made.

So it's really easy to use, unless you're on a computer which refuses you to change the drivers for compabilities sake (and the sysadmn refuses to change the settings )...

 

[MrGaribaldi]

It probably could use better proofreading.

It only states DX 10.0 support.
That and the AA feature is mentioned twice.

I could've sworn it says DX 10.1 as the fifth bullet point on the left...

But I've enjoyed a Torres Corona, so I could be mistaken...
And the other typos does lend itself towards something cooked up by someone not affiliated with Diamond...

Check the 8th bulletpoint to the right.

ZOMG they leaked R700 specs too

edit: Damnit its gone now & I forgot to take screenies
But the URL still works...

check your cache.

You can thank the performance level to AMD (RV670) for being competitive. It went from 64SP->96->112SPs.

You really think Nvidia's original plan was to sell a 128 shader part with half of it disabled?

For $199, yes. More than enough upgrade from the 8600GTS and sits nicely below the 8800GTS, hence 8800GT. But that plan went haywire as soon as we got reports that RV670 was up and running ahead of schedule. Now their line up is completely screwed up, nomenclature-wise.

Btw did you think that Nvidia would launch their refresh minus the flagship?

OK, I found it in cache

Redirects back to Diamond's website, maybe a screenie would be better?

 

[hoom]

GAH! OK, hows this?

Seems more like a custom 404 than a custon R700

meaningless until we see other games and performance against stock "old" 640mb GTS, which actually also beats the 8800 GT in crysis.

So far the new specs for upcoming RV670 never mentioned ROP's and TMU's.

I think I almost got it. But one more question? Why do you think if it's true that RV670 will have more transistors on 55nm vs. R600 on 80nm.
Edit: Or is it because ATI did not had enough transistors on 80nm tech to fit extra features, but only was possible on smaller process which ATI will use 55nm.

Ok!

One point I would like to make if it was true about RV670 to have ~100million more transistors than R600 due to the shrink process. It means ATI would never archived that on 80nm tech; but since ATI made the chip physically smaller then R600, the understanding is it might have less transistors than R600 due to cut memory bits from 512bit to 256bit, but again adding H.264./5.1 built-In audio hardware, DX10.1 support which would increase transistors count up again.
