LOOKS LIKE NVIDIA JUST RUSHED TO GET SOMTHIGN TO THE MARKET.

TO BAD, THERE CARD WILL GET SQUASHED.






LOL, SLI ROCKS, I CANT LIVE WITHOUT IT, BEST $1000 I EVER SPENT, SLI G70 WILL CRUSH THE R520 SO TO BAD, LOOKS LIKE NVIDA WAS ONE STEP AHEAD THIS TIME, LIKE ALWAYS, LOLER SKATES.

HAVE FUN WAITING FOR YOUR R520, IF STUPID ATI CAN EVEN MAKE ONE BEFORE THE END OF THIS YEAR. MAYBE THOSE CANADIANS SHOULD JUST STICK WITH THEIR 2002 FEATURE SET, EVER HEARD OF HDR, SOFTSHADORWS, DKKD, SSS, FSKFL?

Errr.....miss your meds today, Bouzouki?

You just contradicted yourself right there...

You'll buy the r520, but only after you oc your 7800gtx until it blows up and still cant match it. And you would care if the r520 is faster (although probably wont admit it) , because you won't tolerate the humiliation of your favorite campany being pushed into the obscurity of second place. And then I'll buy 2 and Xfire them together just to piss you off. :evil:

Your friggin weird munky. Yeah you'll sure piss Rollo off by going out and buying the same stuff that he will probably have before you do. LOL :roll:

But.. But.... ATi arent producing those chips... MS are.

Because Microsoft owns the R500 chip design and could use any foundry and process they choose. They only liscence it from ATI. It could also be clocked lower and first gen might even be 130nm or 110nm but move to 90nm later. Time will tell.

Secondly the R500 and R520 are not the same chip they are different. The R600 will be something similar to what is learned on the R500.

If everyone recalls the XBOX 1 GPU was supposed to be clocked higher than what it was released at.

I would assume there is a problem getting ATI chips speed high enough so it can compete with the 7800 than any other real manufacturing problem. A quick redesign and retap should get the speed up enough so that its a competitor.

Good point. If they really were so much faster as the rumors suggest then they would be able to compromise on clock speed to come out sooner and compete with Nvidia.

Sounds logical, but can you tell me (brief list) what was said that was misinformation and who said it?
We have already established that quoting a singled out benchmark is out of the question.
So anything other than a benchmark reference will do. -Thanks.

I never lie about video cards, Zendari. (and I'm seldom wrong)

(which is not to say I'm infallible, but pretty reliable)

I dont care if I piss him off or not. I also dont care if he buys the r520 or not. He's such a devout Nv fan (as you are) I'm gonna laugh if he actually buys it, cause then the r520 must be REALLY good if even the infamous rollo ditches Nv and buys Ati cards.

Does it "piss you off" that I have 7800GTX SLI? If not, why would it "piss me off" if you had R520 Crossfire? If it does "piss you off", you're stupid.

Apparently you don't understand that I'm a working adult, if I want an R520 Crossfire, I can just buy one? :roll: (it's not likely I will though as I have two SLI rigs and doubt Crossfire can give me anything worth switching for)

Yeah, you're "evil" all right. :roll: "Lord have mercy! I'm just dreading the day when Famous Munky upgrades his video card and leaves me in the dust!" LOL- you have some interesting ideas......

I don't care if you had 10 7800gtx's running in sli, it your money, and I already have another expensive hobby (hint: and it's not buying computer parts). It would be funny if you actually started using ati cards, because then we'll have no one to spread nvidia propaganda (Maybe keyster can take over for you). Anyway, I'll believe it when I hear about it.

I think you left your bananas out in the sun too long Munky.

I always buy a copy of ATIs best card? (X800XT PE>9800Pro>9700Pro>8500retail>VIVO>MAXX>Rage Fury- to name a few, and I can go back further)

I'll buy it and use it a while, bench it, sell it later for a loss like I do most of the others. The fun is in the "trying", not the "holding onto for two years while technology passes by".

 

[BenSkywalker]

Right Ben, you want to link Matrox's awesome superior multimedia card with advanced video features and back it up with a critical review that backs you up?

You aren't kidding...... You really don't follow the market at all do you- Link. Review. Lots of reviews.

Good to know you are on top of the extreme low end crap market in terms of video- keep going with that.

Funny, I can't recall a single BSOD from CCC testing over the past 13 months on several platforms

Not surprising from a guy who thinks ATi has high end VIVO boards, heh.

Edit

BSOD w/CCC, BSOD in CCC @Rage3D thread, More BSOD, more BSODs with CCC. It isn't like it is some isolated or rare event.

Enough of your crazy crap Ben! rbV5 knows that ATI AIWs own the high end video editing market, and your links to $1000+ Matrox cards that are professional quality can prove no different! Begone infidel!
I bet the only cards used in Hollywood are 9600AIWs!

Where? I keep hearing about this and it isn't anywhere that I can find in my control panel.

CCC.

Who?

Is this a joke?

CCC installed on my rig=BSOD all day long.

Sorry, can't help you with that one as I don't have any problems with it.

What game requires higher then 1.1?

Battlefield 2 requires 1.4.

I'd rather have the option to run HDR at 10X7 0X0X

Yes, we already know you like to play your games at 1999 settings just to pimp "OMG soft shadows!" and "OMG HDR!".

BSOD w/CCC, BSOD in CCC @Rage3D thread, More BSOD, more BSODs with CCC. It isn't like it is some isolated or rare event.

Have you read those threads? Half of the people there are using third party drivers and/or tweakers while the rest of them are probably overclocking.

Interesting smack talk from a man who can't even dream of the settings I run at?

BFG10K 2002: "Anything below the highest possible settings is fugly and unacceptable!"

BFG10K 2005: "I'll run whatever bargain basement card suits me at low res, as long as it doesn't need a fan. My ears are sensitive!"

 

[BFG10K]

Rollo 2003:
We don't need shaders.
We don't need AA.
We don't need AF.
WOOT! Games cower at 1024x768 on third 5800U purchase.
Smack smack smack, oooh, aahh, shiney pipes!
We don't need resolutions over 1024x768.
Nobody cares about HL2 or Far Cry.

Rollo 2004:
AAx4 and AFx8 minimum.
1600x1200 minimum.
ATi will die because they don't support SM 3.0.
Look at my HL2 and Far Cry benchmarks, the most important games in the world.

Rollo 2005:
We don't need AA, AF or resolutions over 1024x768 as long as we can get soft shadows and HDR.

Based on your posts amusingly it appears I run higher settings than you. I'd actually be interested in hearing how many games you've played from start to finish in the last six months because it doesn't appear that you even know how to tweak your own hardware properly. I expect you spend your days installing new hardware and then posting on forums trying to convert the masses rather than actually using said hardware.

It's like giving car keys to someone without a license.

"I'll run whatever bargain basement card suits me at low res, as long as it doesn't need a fan

Bargain basement? A X800 XL is bargain basement? I guess a 6800 GT would be too then, eh? Yet I seem to remember you pimping a 6600GT SLI setup as viable and given that a faster single 6800GT is "bargain basement" what does that make your SLI setup?

Rollo 2004:
WOOT! 6600GT SLI is viable!

Rollo 2005:
6800GT is bargain basement.

Your nVidia dance is really comical Rollo. It's like you're the nVidia court Jester or something.

 

[Insomniak]

BFG, you apparently fail to realize that Rollo is on all sides of every issue.

Wake up already man.

That's why I love 'im. He's like a walking review aggregator, pointing out the great things about all cards and options and thrashing them for their bad aspects.

You read Rollo, you'll end up unbiased as you can be.

LOL What do you mean by "tweaking" hardware? In any case, my two computers are a A64 3800+/7800GTX SLI and a A64 3200+/6800GT SLI. I can assure you whatever "proper tweaking" you've done, I don't need it. I've finished Unreal2, Tribes Vengeance, and Doom3 in the last 6 months. I play UT2004 daily. I'm currently working my way through Serious Sam. I just installed SC:CT and SWAT4, just ordered GTA San Andreas.

It's like giving car keys to someone without a license.

Errr, yeah. That "proper tweaking" is rocket science BFG. :roll:

Compared to the 6800Ultra you gave up for it, the X800XL is "bargain basement".

Your nitpicking people's posts would be comical as well BFG, but mostly it's just tiring.
