lets hope for SOME competition... if ATi feels threatened, they might spped up their newly announced 24 month product cycle!

 

[KristopherKubicki]

Ronin - the reason you havent heard from them is because they merged with SiS's Xabre division to form XGI.

[CrackRabbit]

Im still interested, at least until i see some benches.
Kristopher, let us know if you guys get any of these things in to test!

Hey guys.

Got this today:


Dear Anand and Kristopher,



This is CP, the editor contact at XGI.

As to your interest in knowing, the Volari Duo V8 Ultra has achieved 5600+ with 3DMark2003 on a 3.0GHz plateform(live demo at product launch). This only give you a brief idea on where the performance is.

Simplier way of remembering our product segments:

3DMark2003
Volari Duo V8 Ultra - 5600+
Volari Duo V5 Ultra - 4000+
Volari V8 Series - 3000+
Volari V5 Series - 2000+
Volari V3 Series - 1000+

This completes the product segmentation of the discrete desktop graphics productline

If you would need any other information, please do let me know.

Best Regards,

CP Lin


Cheers,

Kristopher

I call BS on part of their statement that Dual chips are cheaper to produce and produce higher yeilds

Make that 18 months. ATi wants a new core every 18 months with refreshes every 6...I think.

Isn't this the current rate of new designs? I thought they had made some announcement saying they were slowing this current rate down. Correct me if I'm wrong....

BTW The performance looks quite good!

 

[mrgoblin]

Id by one of those if the price was right and by right i mean in direct competition with the 9600 pro

 

[Nebor]

When can we expect to see these on shelves? My $500 is ready to go.

Are you givening up on nvidia now?

Why don't you wait and see how it turns out before jumping in.

 

[Alkali]

Am I just dumn or something, or is that new card just about identical performance to a 5900Ultra on 3DMark2003?


If so, all nVidia or ATi need to do is chuck two of their GPUs on one board and voila 10,000 3DMark2003 points, lol.

Jumping the nVidia ship are we?

BTW, I just love today's Hard Poll:

Buy a new graphics card today?
ATi - 90.8%
nVidia - 8.3%
Other - 0.8%

Total Votes: 2979

This card sounds pretty sweet....

I'm not permanently attached to nvidia or anything... those bastards DID kill my voodoos....

HAHA! The resident Nvidiot is giving up! REAL bad signs for Nvidia... he's moving to XGIlot territory?

 

[robcy]

What would be the normal score for a 9700PRO/9800PRO/5800Ultra/5900Ultra be on a 3.0c P4. 5600+ seems to be a pretty good score.

 

[ahsumdude]

Anyone remember BitBoys Oy? Similiar? Familiar? Vaporware?

THe important thing is, that if ATI had announced a dual GPU card w/ the same specs, I would have made fun of it.

Oh PLEASE.

You are obsessed with nvidia.

Why would you spend $500 on this, when the 9800 Pro does better?

Because you left out the word "ATI" in front of 9800 Pro.

I'm not so much pro-nvidia as I am anti-ati. Somehow they just seem evil to me.

Well that's just stupid, and you are losing performance.

But whatever floats your boat.
