tbdr!

Don't you tbdr me here!

wtf is a "purloined letter imitation"? I can only conclude that you meant to say "scarlet letter imitation", pointing the finger squarely at the letter A. A for AA.

Heh, I had to google it myself. He's referring to one of Poe's mysteries.

Nekulturny!

"The Purloined Letter", an Edgar Allan Poe short story, is known for the concept of "hide in plain sight".

Oh god, Kaleidoscope mk2.

Jawed

What was Kaleidoscope mk1?

I remember a ton of speculation on what it was (ring-bus mem controller, AVIVO, bridgeless crossfire, Etc). Can't for the life of me remember what it finally turned out to be.

Avivo.

hide in plain sight".

Like occlusion culling? Or deferred rendering?

 

[Sound_Card]

Do you think the scaler will scale up to 2500x1600?

danm, another one of my dumb mistakes. *slaps face a couple times. I was laughing for a good while when I read that.

tbdr! I'm telling you, with the echo!

 

[Sound_Card]

Well, I doubt it is AA as that will be too easy.

scrathing my head right now. This is pretty intresting...

 

[MDolenc]

Does it have something to do with stream out?

 

[trinibwoy]

Well if it's something obvious then it's gotta be something useful, right.......right?

 

[jb]

Well I see Geo is taking up right were Wavey left off with his cryptic hints.....

/speculation:

Dual core GPU, uses both for some applications, one can be used for physics. Needs the bandwidth to feed both cores.

. The Package weight of R600XTX OEM version exceeds 11 kilogram.

11kg? 1.1kg? 11kg is just plain nonsense, cases may weight 11kg, but not this card.

Nah, you get two tiles with every card.. it's a tile based renderer you know..

 

[Sound_Card]

I think what will shock me the most is if R600 is a DX10.1 chip.

 

[Geo]

I think what will shock me the most is if R600 is a DX10.1 chip.

My best guess today is you won't be shocked then.

 

[Sinistar]

I just have one question for Geo,. Will you be replacing your 8800?

 

[Sound_Card]

My best guess today is you won't be shocked then.

boo hoo.
