The point is the info came from the Inquirer and certain people around here use that website when it suits their agenda but ignore it when it doesn't

Bingo!
We have a winner!

Amazing how that works.

Let's see, should I go with the first quote or the second quote below. ...Hmmm... Let's just go with the first quote.

LMAO

Do either of you have a problem with the Tech Report? I would say they are easily one of the most respected tech sites.

If you don't like the news, fine. But you don't have to be immature about it. Although I may be overstating your ages a bit.


Don't know why you think your own quotes are immature. :confused:

Ah, I see. Just trolling. Carry on if it makes you feel better.



Damn now that's funny.

It's kind of a bummer, AMD hasn't done anything for the last year, and now ATI is near a standstill as well.

Take it with a grain of salt as some of the info comes from the Inq.

If they have to do a re-spin of the design and if Hexus.net is correct about a "preview launch" that would mean it could be April until actual cards are for sale.


well then let me post *good news* for DAAMiT fans

R600 up and running, making ATI partners happy
The GDDR4 version and the official launch is still scheduled for March time probably shortly before Cebit. The partners are happy with the performance and they are confident that the new baby can make G80 run for its pixels.

The first R600 with GDDR3 memory was a huge card, the biggest ever built but the GDDR4 version will end up a bit shorter. The first R600 was significantly longer than Nvidia's G80.

AMD to launch R600 in Amsterdam, in March
Some 200 hacks from 45 countries will be invited to attend this event. With the power of DAAMIT this will be the biggest and most glamourous graphics chip launch to date.
...

Some Nvidia green is about to get smoked as we heard R600 with some software tweaks will actually be faster than we all anticipated. The launch is definitely in March as Hector said so.

VR-Zone is oh so old news and is the *SOURCE* for your silly 2nd hand news at TechReport :p

R600 will be launched in CeBIT but cards availability in April ... and we heard that the official name could be Radeon X2900.

I knew AMD shouldnt have paid so much for ATI. This whole thing may bring both of them down :(

btw any chance AMD is doing this to get the power requirements under control and more inline with the G80?

[that new Gigabyte 680i looks awesome]
