ATi Strikes Back!

How does it scale ? Does it scale like crossfire/sli or does it scale 100% ? Even if it's 100%, then 2 2900xt's would be the suck for 799$ ?

Even if it do not scale 100% I presume you can use 2 of these in the new 790FX cards that support quadfire or whatever its called, and then its a premium price for probably the best performance out. But I could be wrong of course 🙂

How about you finish that sentence?

It should be noted that the slide published by Tweaktown web-site does not resemble typical slides from Advanced Micro Devices' roadmap and generally looks like a slide from one of the add-in card manufacturers.

It's still BS.

But for those looking for a gramatically correct paraphrase, I've added punctuation... 🙂

And adding that made all the difference, how? Still the same. I was focused on the "does not resemble" thing myself.

The "BS" and "PowerPoint Gone Wild" remarks indicate that SteelSix was saying the slides were made up by the article author and not just something leaked from another legitimate source: AMD's AIB partners. That would be misleading, right?

We can see that the slide is inaccurate from the scores alone. So what makes this a legitimate source?
 
lmao ATI Strikes back? Strikes back with what ? This card has no opponent so id hardly call it striking back. when it does get an opponent what do you think is going to happen?

ATI have had there day and now its time for somone else to step up and push ATI to the back of the queue ATI like 3dfx are out of the race as far as im concerned.

 
It is kind of disturbing if that roadmap is true. Putting 8600GTS/512 and 8800GT in ultra enthusiast segment? And $799 for a new flagship product? I could build Q6600/4GB system for that much money. Thanks ATI for raising videocard prices for us once again.

Of course there will be people who pay that much. But in reality it doesnt make much of a difference whether its 500 or 799 to their bottom line - its all just a niche market, just like its always been with the high(est) end hardware. A nice premium but the dough is somewhere else.
 
I'm not interested in high priced superglue crossfire products anymore then I was interested in high priced superglue SLI products from nvidia.

Or just as easly suggesting that the article's author bought into someone elses BS. No reason to go jumping to conclusions here.

I wasn't trashing the OP's find by any means, nor the source website. I could create a similar powerpoint slide and send it to ten sites today saying that I can't disclose my source. I bet a dollar one of them would run with it...

Yeah but you would have to find some really stupid people to plunk down for this. It's all speculation but if what you are getting is essentially a RV670 Xfire solution except on one card I can't see any but the dimmest of lightbulbs plunking down that kind of cash for the same performance potential of two cards for $400 as opposed to $800.

Depends, it might be equivalent to 2 cards for $800 vs 1 card for $800.

All I gotta say is "OMFGWTFBBQ $799!"

Whatever the market will bare as the saying goes and If you build it they will come providing the performance is there, and even sometimes when it isn't. Read through both the Tweaktown and X-Bit articles and about the only thing I would say is for sure is the part regarding the 2900 series being EOL'd. Whether the rest is true or not, very likely not, who knows. It's fun to speculate however as long as everything's taken with a few grains of salt.

Perhap Anand could add a sub-forum called Rumor Mill or something similar where threads like this and another one I could think of would fit nicely. Rage3D has something like this and the threads seem a lot less volitile because of it.
