R350 Almost Here?!?!

[bunnyfubbles]

Just go to http://www.ati.com, there is a flash thing similar to what ATI had going prior to the 9700's release...

 

[jiffylube1024]

Yeah, R9800 supposed to be announced in early March (13th I think), available for sale in April.

 

[ScrewFace]

Yes! The RADEON 9800 Pro is what I've been waiting for all along: a higher clocked Radeon 9700 Pro with 2 texture units per pipeline!

 

[BoomAM]

As far as i know, from several news sites, such as rage3d, the 9800 does not have 2 TMUS, its just an OC`d 9700PRO.
375-400mhz core
700mhz memory.

 

[Brian48]

Yeah, as much as I would love to get one, I think I might pass this time around. Other than clock speed, it really doesn't offer any significant advantages over my overclocked 9700 Pro. What I have is more than enough for anything out there now, even Unreal2. Since there's no telling when Doom III will be out, I'm going to worry about it.

mach 5 i here, and ati themselfs said it should be less than 30 days. i am speculateing that they mean retail avalablity in 30 days acutaly. granted i have a 9700pro so i realy don't care unless someone wants to make an offer on it.

 

[Wag]

I'm finding the 9600 more interesting. A .13 part, which should retail for $199 and could be a bit faster than a current 9500Pro.

Umm, are you drunk? 'Cause your spelling is atrocious.

Sounds good, not that I can afford one, but that it will lower prices of other cards I want.

<rubs hands with glee>

I don't think I'm the only one waiting for this card. The 9700 Pro is excellent but the 9800 Pro will be even better.

Umm, are you drunk? 'Cause your spelling is atrocious.

Heh.

 

[Killrose]

Oh what fun. But i'm just going to look this time around, my 9500>hacked9700 is doing nicely. But I cant wait to see the performance level the newest offers.

:Q No way! Not trying to pick on ya, just too good to pass up .

 

[kylebisme]

ok, so i left out an l and an o in that, i am pretty sure i spelled dyslectic right though; unless i am not seeing something.

 

[blindtothagame]

I'M THINKIN ABOUT
just waitin and gettin the 9800 pro
b/c from last wk to today i've gone through
over 5 different 9700pro cards
they ALL have problems!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
1st gen...
i'll wait until the end of this yr for 2nd gen.. 9800pro card........:|

 

[kylebisme]

ever think that maybe it wasn't the cards?

 

[IamG]

I am hoping they get out within 30 days so the price will drop on the current cards.

Heard the drop was to be somewhere in the range of $75-100
