R520...?

There were lots of rumors regarding the R520 to go 700MHz+, and it is possible, but I just wanna know how this dude got hold if this card, IF he actually did.

A lot of things with computer hardware are POSSIBLE, but they are in no way PRACTICAL. I will not believe a core that high unless it is coming from someone reputable with factual evidence to back it up.
 
Wait and see, this is pretty pointless. What is more intersting is what will be happening tomorrow from the guys in green. The R520 has reached "wait and see and disregard all hype" status with me 😛
 
Very much doubt they'll hit a core clock that high unless it's those 16 'extreme' pipelines instead of 24/32, and of course if that's the case, it won't matter much. My money's on Photoshopped.
 
its such a low quality picture, i wouldnt doubt if it was photoshopped.

Besides, I thought ATI had to lower the card's specs because it was overheating or something.

I really doubt that picture to be true.
 
The driver that listed doesnt exist.
But the numbering isnt 'out of line'
I'm thinking its real.
 
That site I got it from was some Czech (European) site who claims they got it from "Asia" and as we all know they get most new and future tech stuff before we do 😛
 
I say it's reasonable enough to be it. The clock speeds aren't totally out of reason. The only thing that looks off to me is at the top left of the shot where it says 'Architecture: 32 bit' when it's plainly a A64 system - but that's irrelevant as far as photoshopping goes.
 
I could swear I saw this image a couple months ago and it was fake. I'll try and find out where I saw it.

That's exactly what I was thinking, only about the AMD 32-BIT thing that looked rigged. Other than the possible photoshopping it looks possible.

You dont believe one rumor, because another rumor contradicts it? Heh.

If the driver doesn't exist, why does it list the date as being feb 8, '05? Why would "nonexistant" drivers for an x950 be 6 months old?

it could be written in the british format making it Aug 2nd 2005. i still call this picture fake, specs are way too high. (900Mhz memory..sheesh thats about ~1.8ghz) totally off!!
 
BTW, AMD64 running Windows XP regular is a 32 bit CPU with 64 bit extensions running on a 32 bit architecture, so it's a 32 bit architecture effectively, unless 3D Mark 05 reports it differently.
 
Fake all the way. the new cards are not part of the radeon 10 series!!! they will be the 11 series, like the geforce cards are the 7 series. Anyway i need to see the card itself to believe it.
