AMD Releases Final R600 Spec

Looks like a beast, but jeez, are you gonna need some wattage to keep that thing happy! lol! I'll stick with my GTS i think! lol! (Maybe add another...) :D
 
Cool. Looks like it will have the edge on the GTX. Until it bursts into flames because you got a 1KW not 2KW PSU.
 
I always find something awesome about how ATi just brutishly push foward with tech and half ignore cooling and power requirements :)
 
i wouldnt wanna put money on it matey, gonna be same situ as the 8800's where they are reccomending 800-1000w for optimum running stability

you never know tho :)
 
March 30th is pretty late imo they might as well launched it on April 1st ;) Thats a good 6 months ? after the 8800GTX launch so yeah would expect it to me naturally 20-30% faster then the 8800GTX.

BUT you fully well know Nvidia are good with time-tables and there refresh of 8900GTX will proberly come mid-late March just to throw Salt into ATI/AMDs face really.

I got a feeling its gonna be similar speed/price wars all over again ?

True ;) Makes no difference id bet cos 8900GTX will proberly ship in mid March or something crazy like that, then its the same thing all over again I dont think AMDS marketing trick will work :D
 
power, power and more power oh well whats worth it
the planet heating up or the fastest gpu in the world
easily the fastest gpu in thw world :cool:
the only way they could make it power freindly is put it on a 65nm or most probally 45nm fab
ill probally get the high-mid range card as soon as it comes out

Wow, you seem to be a chap that likes being selfish. Respect. :cool:
 
Has there actually been any benchmark results published yet, or is the "miles faster" comments still just speculation?

I was referring to you saying you'd prefer to get something to satisfy yourself rather than that of others around you.
 
I do my bit for the world so u dont worry about that
back to this r600 power hungry card does anybody know when the 2 graphics card makers will start thinking about power becuase lower to a 65nm fab is all good but they just cant turn to that every time power goes out of hand

Entropy.

This is a findamental problem which will never go away. Best to get used to it. If you don't want a high power drain, the mid range cards are usually a little more efficient.
