U Must See This Card

[A.Rafay]

A picture of the graphics card that is claimed to be a board based on the code-named graphics processor R600 from ATI, graphics product group of Advanced Micro Devices, has been published by an Asian web-site. The board seems to be huge and is said to have nearly extreme demands for power.

​

The picture that that has been leaked shows a special “long” version of ATI’s code-named R600-based graphics card aimed at original equipment manufacturers and system integrators. The version designed for DIY marker will be shorter, according to the report.
VR-Zone web-site claims that there would be two versions of ATI R600 XTX: one is for OEM/SI and the other for retail. Both feature 1GB of GDDR4 memory on board, but the OEM version is 12.4” long, whereas the retail is 9.5” long. The power consumption of the AMD R600 graphics card is 270W for 12” version and 240W for 9.5” version. The difference between the boards is unclear.
Specifications of ATI R600 published by a web-site earlier resemble specs revealed by some other sources back in mid-2006, but are not fully similar:

• 64 4-Way SIMD Unified Shaders, 128 Shader Operations/Cycle;
• 32 texture mapping units, 16 raster operation units;
• 512-bit memory interface full 32 bit per chip connection;
• 230W thermal power envelope;

The web-site also claimed that the next-generation graphics chip from AMD’s graphics division formerly known as ATI Technologies will support so-called GPU clustering, which allows to install 2ⁿ number of GPUs (4, 8, 16, 32, etc), though it is unclear whether this is something new, as ATI’s graphics chips supported multi-GPU capability for professional solutions from companies like Evans & Sutherland for many years now. In addition, Level505 reports that the R600 chip is compatible with “draft DX10.1 vendor-specific cap removal” application programming interface, something, which is unlikely to be utilized for a substantial amount of time.
Officials for Advanced Micro Devices did not comment on the news-story.



i just have this to say (wtf)

 

[devilscallmedad]

the design is real stupid

 

[Rapchik Killer]

Dude its about the features, i mean this card is meant to show 8800 series some competition and i think it most definitely doing that.

 

[Atif]

the design is real stupid

Design does not matter.It is the performace of the card we have to see because we r not gonna put this card in a beauty contest but against a serious competitor Gforce 8800.

 

[A.Rafay]

but its tooooo long

 

[USUF]

its gonna touch my hard disk...its that long

 

[A.Rafay]

and look at those copper heat sinks and pipes...... look at its power consumption.... i seriously doubt its popularity in the future... i must agree with devil fr the first time that its design looks stupid

 

[Rapchik Killer]

Ya, length really can be a factor when i come to think about it! I mean my 7300gt is just short of my hd, this card would not fit in any casing imo!

 

[iNF3RN0]

are you sure it's a real deal? looks quite fake to me.. :S anyway the design do looks ridiculous and I am not seeing any advantage of this design...

 

[devilscallmedad]

well this card is nearly the same as the 360 GPU ( Xenos ) so lets see if capcom were right in calling the xenos as powerful as the 8800.

Guys guys y u r worried about the length of the card?it is of the same length as 8800 from Nvidia.U talked about that the future looks grim of that card but let us wait and watch who win the race.So keep ur thoughts for a while in ur mind.

 

[Fahad007]

i think this they will make short cards when they sell it

dude first get your info right

 

[Fahad007]

look like this card is going to blow 8800 charme

@Rapchick congrats on new card does it run BF2?
Ive seen this somewhere else but the whole design looks sketchy!@
