third that.
looks like the ATi card is not what people expected. 12 pixel pipes with 8 extreme pixel pipes? sounds like 8 real pipes with 4 additional 'ones' turned on? so could the 16 pipe version be 8 pixel pipes with 8 extreme pixel pipes? i have a feeling that this means fewer physical pipes than were expected...

LOL, Yeah, the whole thing doesn't make any sense
However, I love that they used the word "extreme" in it somewhere, that obvioulsy means "better", I am so pre-ordering one of these. For the low price of $500, who cares about benchmarks!?!
Serioulsy though, since this is out before the NDA expires, I still take the advetrised specs with a grain of salt, although the text does look like it was taken straight from pre-written verbiage. I wonder why ATI hasn't made Allstarshop take this down yet..

Well, NDA ends in what, 2 days? Who cares?
Even if you do know all the specs of all the cards, it doesn't make one difference. Until we see some benchmarks and reviews, the numbers don't mean anything.

If it is really on the shelves on the 5th, it will be the cheapest 12 pipe card available! 😀
Not sure if that will make any sales though. This looks like one confusing retail war coming up, but the good news is that both products look to be winners. Not sure if the gains will be that great, until new games and faster cpu's are released.

Link direct to Allstar...
Reminder, web retailers who are NOT ATI partners do NOT have to follow NDA, this card is coming into stock as many (whats called) disty warehouses plan to ship this card monday to wholesalers, if the wholesaler or webtailor is close to do will call, the product reships to you the same day.
Another words, Allstart is most likely just fine posting this info, Those with NDA's would NOT take debate with the spec's, they could post, that's not correct if they wanted to without breaking NDA's. Do you see that here?
It clearly reads 12 pipes, however without breaking a NDA, it certainly looks as not all 12 pipes are of the same or at the same level, don't read into the specs, it may just run games with 8 pipes (needs) different than a game looking or that may use 12 a little different.
Bench marks will tell all on monday/tuesday.
What this should tell you is that ATI must feel that the Pro matches up to the 6800 Ultra in some way, as they priced it the same.
I still third that fact that it seems the pipes are not all right (of course in the end if ATI is faster and great graphics using something odd, who cares if it works), the Ram & GPU speed is not posted in the specs. My guess is, ATI made some changes to the speed/clock that was not planned months backs to of.
