The NEXT LAST R600 Rumours & Speculation Thread

Zotac is probably what you are talking about, thats a sister company of PC Partners just as Sapphire is as well.

too many ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ to remember

 

Theo should probably reevaluate what the word launch means.

 

Techday? And he still insists on the 65nm part.

 

right

When i good remember Club3d part of TUL corporation too as Powercolor (Club3d was the only company sell ATi,NV,Volari,S3 cards.)
Info-Tek (Gecube) part of Gigabyte.
Looks like HIS the only real worldwide ATi VGA only company.

Welcome to one hour ago!

 

Africa!
Well, I guess this will be some hell of a trial for the air cooling capabilities of the top board.

 

So, is it time for "the LAST LAST R600 Rumours & Speculation Thread" yet?

 

Definitely not! It's another month to launch, and then there might be another month to ship. That puts us almost into June even before we see any slippage. It would merely be tempting the graphic card gods to punish us if we have a LAST LAST thread.

And still they are still reporting "production chips" as being 65nm...?! If this is true I expect it more likely for further delay, not less.

Oh AMD! The humanity!

 

You surely mean "maybe" or "probably"? We thought the same for dec, then feb, then march and right now I believe in nothing I can't verify.

 

For those of you that use Firefox, a quick way to zoom in on an image is the imagezoom extension.



That way, you don't even have to open up a different application to better see the details on a screen shot. I know this is a bit OT, but it seemed appropriate to share.

 

"Advanced dork", wtf is that?

 

It uses the Advanced and Boolean search strings on user-highlighted text through Google automatically. Silly name, but very useful for those that remember the older ways of web searching and wish to employ them in an updated fashion .

It can be a good way to ferret out those R600 tidbits (I included that to keep this from getting OT - it wasn't my intention to cause topic drift, so feel free to PM me with further questions, or perhaps if there is a desire I could create a thread elsewhere for my "Caffeinated's Interesting Browser Addons)

 

If the 65nm claims are true, and they slipped there again, then don't call me shocked if we see a LAST LAST LAST thread.

 

Maybe we need a MAYBE OR MAYBE NOT LAST thread? Or a DEFINITELY NOT LAST thread?

For the love of god AMD, spill some beans, let us know something! <shakes fist at sky>

 

Hm. . . I don't understand ,what is ThiS ?

 

Rage Theater chip, most likely, or perhaps just a voltage regulator.

edit: Theatre chip looks to be off the bottom-left...I'm not quite sure what it is.

Glad this isn't R3D though, someone would be suggesting EDRAM, disconnected ROPs or summat.

 

No, that would be the square to the right of one of the DVI ports.

 

Yep, you're right. tried to edit that before someone made a fool of me. Too late.

I had forgotten how the 200 was more of a square, as opposed to the earlier RT's that were more of a rectangle shape similar to that.

 

Would a separate UVD chip be that much different from what was on the Crossfire cards before? Their functions seem to be similar so that chip could be for both UVD and Crossfire.
