Please use this thread to discuss the lack of the UVD and AVP video blocks in the R600, aka Radeon HD 2900 XT.
The previous short thread on this subject has been locked to create this official one, and the truckload of posts in the RV610/RV630 thread have been moved to a new thread and closed. As such, this is the only thread where this discussion can/should continue.
Please do so in a civil manner, however. This is not the "AMD is doomed, their marketing department needs a kick in the nuts and I wish Hector Ruiz fell off a bridge for ruining the company I invested my life savings in" thread, thank you very much. Not that there is such a thread on the forums, of course, but there are more than enough non-trollish discussions of AMD's prospects in various other threads already.
And as a final and more personal note, maybe it's just because I'm not from the USA, but I really don't get this lawsuit stuff - although it's still worth a good laugh, I guess!
