The Rumor Roundup

If NV40 will be on the shelves in 2-3 weeks, wouldn't a BB/CUSA employee have posted a SKU already? :)
 
Wouldn't it be the same for R420? :rolleyes:

This time, i think both companies want their respective IHV to deliver cards quickly on shelves after the announcement. I still think Ati will be faster.
 
Je ne comprends pas pourquoi les :rolleyes: , mais je suis en (d'?) accord avec toi. :p J'ai seulement dit NV40 parce-que VV l'a seulement mentionne, et nV sera la premiere d'annoncer ce GPU.

So, how bad was my French? I haven't spoken it in years, and I don't think I was ever more than what one would generously call haltingly fluent. =)

Désolé, j'avais cru voir "next generation", tu as raison, pas de quoi faire des :rolleyes: .
Sorry, i thought i saw "next gen", you are right, no reason for :rolleyes:

Well, your french is quite good i would say. In 3 months in France you wouldn't make anymore those little prepositions errors. I would like to speak/write english as you write/speak french ;)
 
Try to write portuguese :)

Já tou farto de esperar pelas novas placas gráficas, farto dos rumores, quero a merda da r420 e da nv40, já ...

:D
 
ED, those small errors have been my bane since, well, forever. I'm not even convinced time in France would correct them, but three months is a long time. :) Your English is at least as good as my French, mon ami.

Clyssan, well, I can sort of get the gist of Portuguese, but to write it? You're asking for a miracle. ;) I studied French for practically a decade, and I'm still making mistakes left and right.

Sorry, Dave, for this rather egregious OT. Everyone else was doing it, though! /me runs

lol. Change the label.. R400 +++ tweaking = R500 Xbox2 VPU.

Not quite so sure how related to R500 XB2 will be now - last I heard the East Coast team is solely concentrating on the XBox, while R500 for the PC is now a West Coast product.

Interesting. When do you think the R500 will be out? What are the possible consequences for Ati, till they have just one team working on PCs and the other on XBOX?

Sorry. We were speaking about the prices of video cards here.
People in Usa/England are lucky. Another day i saw a 4600 for 400€. The prices here are insane (you have to know where and when to buy ).

About the rumors.
Well. i really think nVidia will do everything to be on top, even if the card costs 1000€/ 2 molex/ etc.
Now the real battle will be in the 200€ vid cards, and i don't see rumors about cut down versions of R420/NV40.

Sorry for my poor english.

Thank you for the translation, I'm sorry to hear viddy cards cost so much there! (I picked up a 4400 for $50us :oops: )

BTW- Your english is MUCH better than my Portuguel, I'm hopelessly mono-linguistic and admiring of those who can speak more than one language. :)

Bah, it makes no difference really if the R500 is going to be the Xbox next graphics core. The whole theory is based on the idea that the Xbox next VPU is using the R400 core but augmented of course. The only reason I decided to use that course of argumentation is because the poster that suggested the only problem was the R500 was to be the core. Whatever the matter .. I still think that this is what they are doing with the R400.. it is going in the next xbox.

FWIW this is largely my impression aswell, the GPU for Xbox2 just doesn't have the same featureset (both in additions and ommissions) that I would expect from a PC part in the same timeframe. I suspect XGPU will share some technology with PC parts but it won't be as close to it's PC counterparts are NV2A was to NV20/25.

Assuming this is true, it would actually make sense.



R400 was an ATI East Coast design, was it not? then we have East Coast handling the Xbox 2 graphics processor. say its a beefed up R400 and possibly things like embedded memory for the framebuffer, and other custom stuff that MS wants.

ATI East Coast - R200, R400, R4xx for Xbox 2.

ATI West Coast - R300, R420, Nintendo GPU(s), R500

I wonder if the Nintendo GCN2/N5 GPU will be based on R500. or something inbetween R420 and R500.



[yes, I am well aware that Xbox 2 was ment to have a graphics processor based on R500. the above is simply what those teams have done in the past, plus what the teams are working on now for the future, based on what Dave said]
