The NEXT LAST R600 Rumours & Speculation Thread

jesus what's with the 3dmark scores , theres alot other stuff to show which would be mucho more interesting.

 

Well not for 128x76,8

edit btw computer settings are on medium.

 

through all time, humans like to compare their penis and see who gets the biggest...











... sorry, me run away

 

What? You run away when it comes to a penis comparison? Ah wait, you're french? That'd be a great excuse

 

W0mbat, what was the previous single card 05 WR? 8800GTX, yes? What was it's score?

 

Wouldn't the vertex-creation cap be a feature of D3D10 requested by the IHVs?

Jawed

 

When i good remember 8800ultra, extreme overcloked with LN2 cooling score 296xx point, this was the WR before in 3dmark2k5.

 

Thanks +1 rep for your research.

Kinc also says the HD2900XT can go 1200(core)/1100(mem) and more on LN. Bring on the cold.

 

No it isn't. P35 is x16/x4 - the same as P965 (not surprisingly, given that neither is intended for the high performance market). Proper CF support will hopefully come with the X38 version of Bearlake, which is rumoured to be x16/x16. (Although that won't be out till Q3).

 

Heeeeeey, don't bring that rep announcing thing over here. It's cheesy

 

Someone at rage3d already has the card, installed and ready to go.

Bought it for$485

 

Whats with the eye roll? Have a problem with someone paying for something they want?

See, I gave one right back.

I'm impressed by his results. He's running Vista and one of the weaker Core2's(E6300), and still pulls a comfortable 10k+ in 3dmark 06.

 

The specs of the R600 which is pretty much confirmed.

He bought it for $485.. well im not sure about people at rage3d but i dont just throw away cash like that. He could have bought it for $399~$425 easily. At the price he paid for, GTX wouldve been a better buy.

But i cant say much since rage3d is a fansite for ATi.

grats to him, and ill be keeping an eye on that thread for real world game benches.

 

Hey, I like cheese, I'll have it with my crackers. hehe

 

Hmm, I wonder -- those mediocre hi-res/AA scores from R600 -- could the be due to lack of proper frame-buffer optimization. I mean... it looks to me, the successfully applied read/write sequencer adjustment to the old 256 (8*32-bit) interface is no more doing good here, now. Maybe lots of empty burst cycles are wasted.

 

Yeah it's getting brained when AA is applied. Now we have to wait and see if it's an issue inherent to the hardware or if it can be addressed with a driver update.

R300King, now you got me craving crackers and cheese and I have neither

 

I'm optimistic that the AA problems are driver-related. It really makes no sense for it to be anything but. At least so I hope.
