    Doesn't look that fantastic IMAO ... actually, after Toy Shop, I'd have expected ATi to bring a really yaw-dropping demo this time, kinda "toy-shop on steroids".

    At least those guys say that the PCB is not abnormally long and looks similar to the 1950 XTX, so it seems they had non-OEM versions running.

    Looks like they were asked to pull the pics and complied.

    March 30 launch? Uh, I get the feeling that somebody didn't get the memo about the whole canceled Editor's Day thing.

    That's a rehash of a lot of stuff that was posted about a month ago - including what was, a month ago, the expected release date, and the news that a number of boards would be exhibited at CeBit. That date has since been pushed back to "Q2" - most likely mid-May.

    There's one glaring inaccuracy in there, which is that the 9.5" XTX card (they say) uses 240W and has two 6-pin PCIe power connectors. That's physically impossible: you can't draw more than 225W peak from the slot and two 6-pin connectors.

    The "13 revisions" thing is also rubbish. A13 means the third revision - one of the digits refers to silicon, the other to metal.

    So, all in all, I would be pretty sceptical, if I were you.

    I think I'd nominate 65nm as the "R520 has 32 pipes" for R600. And, whaddyaknow, same source flogging both. :wink:

    R600 XL or R600 65nm? It should be a RV630, but the PCB is way too long.

    Could it be that RV670 is actually closer than expected?

    I thought this was RV630Pro. Isn't this from the article with only RV610 and RV630 pics?
