R520 will have 45 pipe lines and clocked at 800/1.8 ghz GDD4.

SM 4 support.

HDR 2.0 support. Allows AA.

512MB 512 bit memory bus for maximum aa support.

AMR will be much more efficient than SLi and double your performance when a second card is added.

And you know all this how??


He doesn't, and he's blowing smoke up your ass. That, and if you look at what he said, you'd realize he didn't have a clue to begin with, so he made up random crap to post.



YOU DONT KNOW WHAT YOUR TALKING ABOUT, I HAVE CONNECTIONS WITH ATI AND NVIDIA, MMMKAY, I GET FREE VIDEO CARDS. MMMKAY

THOSE SPECS ARE LEGIT, BECAUSE I HAVE CONNECTIONS WHICH I CANNOT NAME RIGHT NOW BECAUSE ITS A SEKRAT.

Obviously someone with enough comon sense would know I was joking.

well when u joke...joke properly!!

In a bit of a surprise, ATI is running working R520 silicon behind closed doors at their booth here at E3.

The R520, not the GPU in the upcoming Xbox 360 but rather the next-generation PC GPU, was running in an Intel PCIe system at ATI's booth.

The system was used to demonstrate Remedy's upcoming title called Alan Wake. The game itself was quite impressive, with an incredibly large and interactive environment, as well as some of the most impressive weather effects we'd ever seen.

Alan Wake is designed for the next-generation consoles (e.g. Xbox 360 and PS3), and thus wasn't running perfectly smoothly on the R520 but performance was quite respectable.

We aren't expecting to see the official R520 launch until later this year and not at Computex, based on information we've been hearing from Taiwan.

The fact that there is working R520 silicon at this point is important, as NVIDIA is sure to be talking quite a bit about their GF70 GPU at the show.

Unfortunately cameras weren't allowed in the Alan Wake demo room, so we couldn't capture the impressive demo or shots of the board running in the system.

We also received word that Prey, another title using the Doom 3 engine, may have also been running on R520 silicon.
