I believe its something along the lines of CF is for me, im not interested in gtx 280.

Atleast thats what i guess it is as my german skills are about as good as hitler was at being nice.

Doesn't look like they've been released! Well that's me annoyed now

If it is today, won't it be 2pm like the nVidia launch?

so would Xfiring any of these be a smart idea on a P35 board???

i'm guessing if the 4850CFR does 30% better than the GTX 280, as AMD says in the EE Times article posted somewhere here, minus the 20 or so percent loss from the slower PCIe slot, then you get performance about equivalent to the GTX 280, with that 10% being a buffer for anything that arises... Am i right?

i think u loose a bit of bandwidth but not in game performance but im sure correct me if im wrong

Nope, according to Anandtech, it has been pushed back to the 25th, exactly another week which is very common nowadays. Wee.

The EE times article is nonsense. It says that the 4850 will have 75% of the speed of a GTX280, which is complete rubbish.

A few people seem to think this as well though, including AMD themselves. Granted a lot of people are a little skeptical about this, myself included, but it's a bit like santa and the easter bunny, would be nice if it was true

They never said at what res or which graphical benchmarks.

Not beyond the relam of possibility the 4850 will score 75% of the GTX280 at 3dmark06 since it's only 1280 x 1024 res.

In fact I think my overclocked GTS does score more than 75% of the the GTX280 score.

-iceblade^ · 18 Jun 2008 at 11:16

i think it's quite credible, considering there isn't much between the 8800GTS 512/9800GTX and the 9800GX2/GTX 280, except the fact that (other differences aside) the GX2 is an SLI on one PCB implementation... look at the Crysis 19x12 4850CF benches posted earlier

it'll probably be something closer to 60% though, and boost with drivers...

A lot of scores

ATI's soon to be launched dual slot Radeon HD 4870 will score 12600 on a Q6600 based system. We are talking about default 1280x1024 3Dmark06 score.

Radeon HD 4850 scores around 11300 in the same benchmark at same settings and if you get the resolution to 1920x1200 and use 8X FSAA the score drops to 7200 points. Radeon HD 4870 scores 9000 at these settings in 3Dmark06 and 7700 points in 3Dmark Vantage default settings.

Radeon 4850 scores 6400 in 3Dmark Vantage default settings and it drops to 3680 points when you crank up the resolution to 1920x1200 and turn the anisotropic on. Radeon 4870 scores close to 4600 points at these settings.

Overall Radeon 4870 look 10 to 20 percent faster than the GDDR3 based 4850 and you should even get playable scores at Crysis at 1920x1200, but of course No AA.

The 9800gtx is about 60% the speed of the 280GTX and nothing we have seen suggest that the 4850 is faster than that card.

ATI Believes GeForce GTX 200 Will be NVIDIA's Last Monolithic GPU.

The head of ATI Technologies claims that the recently introduced NVIDIA GeForce GTX 200 GPU will be the last monolithic “megachip” because they are simply too expensive to manufacture. The statement was made after NVIDIA executives vowed to keep producing large single chip GPUs. The size of the G200 GPU is about 600mm2 which means only about 97 can fit on a 300mm wafer costing thousands of dollars. Earlier this year NVIDIA’s chief scientist said that AMD is unable to develop a large monolithic graphics processor due to lack of resources. However, Mr. Bergman said that smaller chips allow easier adoption of them for mobile computers.

Is nobody listening! AMD said in graphical benchmarks it offered 75% of the performance.

4850 scores 11300 on a quad which would mean the GTX280 would need to score more than 15067 for their statement not to be true.

From memory that is around what a GTX280 scores isn't it?

Doesn;t mean that in games and especially at high res/aa that the 4850 will have 75% of the framerate of the GTX280.

Nope, they said it had 75% of the performance of the 280GTX, and 30% more in graphical benchmarks- it never said what the 75% was in

Look i am just trying to stop people getting hyped up over the 4800 series as people are starting to get unrealistic expectations. People are starting to believe that the 4850 will compete with the GT200 when in reality it's getting beaten by the 8800GT in some benchmarks.
