Well, I was referring to Ubi, since all they did was port Vegas off the 360. But, to answer your comment, all we can do is wait. At least we have the hardware and some form of stable drivers, while Nvidia's competitor hasn't been able to finish either.

Maybe it is just me, but I think that term is getting very old... It is like when that person at your work tells the same joke over and over, every day and it no longer is funny or amusing. Sort of like that Leroy Jenkins thing... It isn't funny anymore, but people still bring it up expecting people to crap their pants off laughing... The sad part is, some people still find that funny. Bleh...
I like news like this because it attracts the fanboys (of either side) like ****** attracts flies. Always fun reading the garbage and illusions their pathetic lives seem to revolve around.

what do you suggest ?
ATi was swallowed whole by AMD ... they are but a "graphics division" presently ... eventually it will be "GFX by AMD" ...
DAAMiT is a fading courtesy to the old ATi
shall we *forget* ATi and just use AMD from now on ?
:Q

Honestly? I would just use AMD/ATI at this point. But I'd have no problem with people using AMD or ATI alone.
An interesting tidbit in light of the rumors that AMD may try launching their new cpu and R600 together.
Hector Ruiz interview
Hector Ruiz interview
ATI makes great products but it seems they are late with orgnal card for each gen but on time for the refresh.
Well if I release one high end card on May and another one on June then yeah.. I'm inside my timeframe.. :roll:
AMD PR may get away with telling porky pies to consumers, but I doubt Hector Ruiz will get away with lying to investors...
A dual-launch certainly was not AMD's intent. They are obviously late on the chip. ATI has not exactly been "punctual" over the past year, and the "R600" (it used to be R400, then R420, then R520) has been delayed for literally years now, probably a half-dozen times or more. It was initially supposed to be the successor to the R300. I'm not sure what happened at ATI's R&D department, but they have had disappointing launches since R300 IMO. Nothing revolutionary. Even the X1950XTX is an R300 on steroids in its own way.
I'm tired of waiting for this GPU (not that I'm upgrading right now, but still it's frustrating as an enthusiast, and rather disappointing). ATI is just lucky that there are no games on the market that require that amount of GPU power, aside from the elite few with 30" LCDs.

and ZERO about r600 in that interview ... interesting though it it
iit looks like *everything* depends on Barcelona ... not r600
and it looks like we will see AMD supporting Linux even more ... maybe we'll get some good game support eventually

An 580 is an R300 on steroids eh? Is that how you sorted this out, this time? This can probably be said about X800/X850 series, but nothing beyond that.
As far as I can see R580 was the first real detachment from R300. It may even apply to X1800 for it's intro of the ring bus controller.
If I were AMD/ATI (courtesy for ArchAngel) I would definitely release some sort of benchmarks of R600 to try and put a tournaquite on the bleeding. Like Intel did with Conroe.
Since they have not done so, (leak benches) which is what a good marketing department would do, I'm going to have to assume that they "can't" get it working right, or cannot beat Nvidia's flagship.
I mean honestly, if you have a piece of hardware that was touted to embarrass a G80, wouldn't you show it? Even if the product was not ready for retail yet, wouldn't you show what it can do to quell Nvidia sales that could have been yours?
Something BIG is wrong here.

yeah ... that's what *i* said
big issues ... Hector Ruiz won't even *talk* about it ... after all HE was the one who said it is definitely coming at CeBit
bummer for AMD

isn't it really *clear* after reading this ... AMD amits they DON'T have a *competitive* product in r600:
http://www.techpowerup.com/?25870
so logically
AMD doesn't have a *competitive configuration* right now in r600
--sure *sounds* like 'engineering' issues

The good part about R600 being delayed, Nvidia's drivers being crap, and there being no good games is that I'm getting quality time with my Xbox360.
AMD should know that their inability to launch a product on time has cost them at least one potential sale.

Well, there are probably only 2 kinds of customers for high end cards. People like us who build our own computers and visit tech sites and people who buy from Dell.
Looking around many of the forums (including Rage3D) you will see a lot of people have given up waiting and picked up a 8800. Even Dell includes them in their high end systems. I would bet that if the R600 had been out in December and it was at least similar in price and performance to the G80 it would have taken a good chunk of those G80 sales.
Also if rumors are true that the R680 could be released this year, there is no way they are going to make up the huge R&D cost of the R600.
Failure to launch has killed many a tech company.

even if it *demolishes* 8900GTX

that would make you a fanboy ... in my book at least
please clarify ... i don't think you really are
