All AMD R6xx chips are 65 nanometre chips, now

i guess i really had global warming in mind when i suggested getting AMD's entire hot air Marketing team in Space

... maybe not ... might create a rift in space and time with that much BS at one point --in Space
:Q

the End of us all

the Moon seems much safer

They could go down in history as (accidentally) unlocking the secrets of intergalactic travel. AMD could use R600 for the holodeck...

i don't think they are able to supply it with *enough* power

not even 'tapping' the Sun directly :Q

there is a *reason* they named it "Dragon"
--besides, mythical/elusive/hot and long

Guess I'm too slow

Next, we got hold of some preliminary benchmarks figures of the R600 XTX card with core clock at 800MHz vs a GeForce 8800 GTX card. Using a Core 2 Extreme 2.93GHz processor on an Intel 975X board, the 3DMark06 score at 1600x1200 resolution is 97xx on the R600XTX compared to 95xx on the 8800GTX. Seems like R600XTX is running slightly faster than 8800GTX on the early release of drivers for R600. AMD is still working hard on the drivers and there are some more performance left to unlock. However, the DX10 benchmarking war between ATi and NVIDIA has not started yet. The targeted display driver version for launch in May is 8.361 or later (Catalyst 7.4 or 7.5).

ROFL! No wonder no one reads his posts.

That article stinks of so much BS.

*i* named it "Draggin"

and i am *done* making fun of AMD

i feel really bad for them and i don't want them to fail ...
i am *hoping* there is competition for nvidia ... sooner rather than later

it would be *good* for all of us

otOH their *marketing* really should get *fired*

--- even into space ... where the confusion belongs
[and their dyed-in-the-wool fanboys are beyond silly space already]

Those are pictures of PowerColor's sample.

Yes. TUL to be exact. :laugh: Tweaktown guys suck at Photoshop.

The cooler looks exactly like the 8800GTX cooler, only the PCB looks shorter. I dont know see anything abnormal or important that AMD was so inclined on keeping the it a secret at CeBIT.

Maybe it's a paperweight?
