For the first time since I bought Ati stock in mid July, I'm actually making money on it right now. It must be getting really close to a release, but we still dont know if it's a paper launch or not. October 5th seems really close, though, I'd be surprised if it were actually available that day.

looks more like they were selling chipsets to gain market share. they may have been selling low end chips at a loss to maintain market share. though, with how old the radeon 9550 architecture is you'd think selling those for just about anything would be well above their marginal cost
Yeah, it's really too bad. It look as though ATI went for the gusto with a 32 pipeline card on a 512-bit bus, but they fell short on both fronts. It will probably pay off for them in the end once yields improve. Sounds to me like they went for too small a nanometre size...I remember that the 9700Pro had great yields compared to NV30 because of better yields using older proven technology.
Just out of curiousity, how can they produce the Xbox 360 GPUs without issue when they are very similar and have 24 pipelines? It just doesn't make sense.
Truth? We dont know what the truth is. Its pretty silly to 100% believe anything the Inq, orvrzone posts on their page.
The only truths are, we dont know what the release date is officially. We dont know when it will ship. We don know how many will ship.
:sigh: so much ignorance, its amazing sometimes.
We don't know the truth?! Really?
:roll:Do we really have to add "Disclaimer: this is my opinion on the subject and it has no guarantees whatsoever about the final outcome." to the end of each of our posts for you to stop challenging it for "truth" and crapping on the thread?

So much ignorance indeed...
What do you think is supposed to happen in here? For everyone applicable to unleash their NDA info? It still wouldn't be truth until it was actually out, now would it?
Did you even read? He said "Quoted for truth". There was no truth in the post he quoted, that we know of. Its not crapping the thread, its bringing truth to the thread, unlike what the other users said.

Ok Ackmed. You're right and we are all wrong and ignorant. You have done you're job. You can go now. Someone once said, "Never wrestle with a pig in the mud. Eventually you will find out that the pig enjoys it.". I think someone here even has this in their sig.
Words to live by here at good 'ol AT Video.

Just to be correct here, swine actually will keep their $hit all in one corner or area when in a small confined area to keep their pen cleaner.

Well then that means my post was not very accurate, and I'm too intoxicated to fix it at the moment. Maybe tomorrow. Rollo will understand I'm sure. He reccomended some odd type of alcohol once. I still want to try it but I forget what he told me.
They actually have 48 unified pipes(360) but that is a good question...I wish I could get my hands on 2 of the 32 piped R520's(read there was 10 of em') for Xfire...hmmm....I'll start saving
What are you crying about, everyone knows you can't take TheINQ at face value, hence the disclaimer. As for the QFT, that's for the "Pretty damn pathetic if you ask me", I'll be sure to make that more clear in the future so as not to upset you.
You're just trying to create something out of nothing.
I know the truth too. You're a Nv fanboi and you hope to hell the r520 doesnt blow the gtx out of the water.
I hope for world peace.
It would also be nice for mods to at least attempt to keep the thread crapping under control.

We need to know the timeframe too to find out if they are even going to be present for this generation. It has happened before on both sides- most recently nV skipping a refresh to go head to head with the X850XT. It is possible that ATi is aiming to hit the market targetting the 7900, 7600 and 7200 instead of the 7800, 6600 and 6200. IF the talk of volume shipments coming in December have any validity then I would assume that is what they would be doing.
I hope they have 32 pipe cards soon for me to buy - either the r520 or else I'm waiting for the r580.
AFAIK, Ati only designed the xbox360 gpu, they're not responsible for manufacturing it. M$ buys the design, and can produce it wherever and however they want, cutting in Ati on the share of profits for every unit sold.
Plus, something tells me all the "smart" people at Ati were busy designing the xbox360 gpu, so that left only a bunch of "n00bs" to design the r520.

Well seeing how late ATi is with this part, it better blow away the 7800 GTX - would be embarassing for them if it doesn't. Also the XF (crossfire) system of requiring a master card sucks, they should have incorporated the XF circuitry on all cards rather than a select few which may be hard to come by.
