Wow. We've been hearing "Wait two months for the R520, it's taped out!" since MARCH.

We were hearing back then that the G70 would be a 32pipe card; OMG nVidia sucks!!!11!1one

Not from nVidia? That product launched on time, non-paper.

ATI has been saying September for ages, looks like they are no expecting be a few weeks late, BFD.

I read an interview this week wherein they said they hoped to launch the R520 in June as well?

ATI isn't saying to wait for anything, a guy on B3D who went to the ATI event was told that the card should be out in two months.[/quote]

You are correct, ATI did not say wait two months. Their fans on this board and others will do that for them.


Damn Rollo, it is a shame that will all the good you manage to bring to this forum you have to spoil it by not being able to keep your fanboy dillusions in check.

This is part of the "good" I do here- word from ATI themselves that the launch dates outlined in the AT article will not be met is very newsworthy!

Wow, you're 6 year old must be very upset, but Please tell us more about your setup....did you say you have 2) 7800GTXs!!!!!!!! (I see you edited that part)..you must be very proud

It's a shame some have no more control of their emotions than to threadcrap others posts with such obvious trolling nonsense.

My hardware, and my son's, is mentioned by no one in this thread but you.

Why are you wasting our time with this OT drivel?

One post in Beyond3d, (one of our favorite forums of course) and this constitutes news? Getting pretty desperate I would say. Unlike you I may actually like this card once it is released.

How will you know? You've stated you won't buy it, I've stated I will.
1. Of the two of us, I know who ATI likes better.
2. At least I'll give it a chance and try it. You'll only pimp it sight unseen.

I must have missed that interview but what I want to see is the Wait two months from March comment? Or was that not from ATI just like the 32 pipes was not from nVidia? Exactly, and I'm just going to leave it at that.
 
Well based on Anandtech's roadmap R520 isn't due until sometime October so I don't know why anyone here is surprised. The speculation is becoming very rampant on all forums which can only be a good thing since it means a lot of people are interested in what ATi has to offer - otherwise they'd have brushed it off as unimportant and concentrated instead on the 7800 GTX only.
 
thats maybe becuz the benchmarks of the g70 are nice but not very nice, and the, should i repeat that...nah everybody knows what they suffer from, ATI fans still call it bad drivers..😉 10% improved performance is not very "next gen" imo. And the 7800GT is rarely better than a x800XT pe. next gen....stupid words...extreme pipes....power of three...two more months and dozen of threads like this to come. :-o zz ZZ Z Z

May I suggest a college class? I cannot even understand what you are saying.

 
*yawn*

If I'm waiting till October, Anything less than 10% performance lead of Nvidia's highest offering is gonna piss me off.
 
Those who don't think this is "news", consider:

ATI has been saying this chip is done since last November!

ATI has completed its design for the upcoming R5xx series of graphics chips.
Click to expand...


So claims a Goldman Sachs report cited by Beyond3D, issued after last week's analyst meeting at which ATI apparently confirmed the chip family will be released in H1 2005.
Click to expand...

So, ATI has been telling us since LAST NOVEMBER that the card is done and will ship by June.

LOL- it's 8/27/05, and now they're talling us it will be "launched" half a year late?

The only people this isn't news to are working at ATI and praying we all have short memories in regard to their promises from LAST YEAR. :roll:

 
ATi's delays are certainly a concern but they're still in far better shape than nVidia was during the NV3x days. The 5800U came out months later than the 9700 Pro and it was inferior and nVidia's refresh NV3x was still inferior to the 9800 Pro/XT.

We know you can only post about 5800s and 9700s BFG, but it's almost 2006 and nobody cares anymore?
 
I god damn hope the R520 offers more performance than the 7800GTX. I'm sure Nvidia could have squeezed bit more out of the 7800 if they were going to be releasing this late in the game too...

so, u really believed in the promises of the marketing guys? 🙂 Then its really news....to u.

I think the stockholders did too Blingbling, and that's why there are now six suits filed against ATI and the number is likely to go higher?

Nice try though- good to see ATI still has a fan!
