AMD To Launch RV770 On June 18th

LOL if you overclocked the ram to 4000mhz I think the card would implode from the amount of bandwidth that you would be getting. :D


1Ghz core though, would be sweet as. :)
 
This is going to get messy. In the next few months I expect to see every TWIMTBP title having GPU PhysX or somesuch GPGPU feature.

We need DirectX to incorprate physics or it will be back to the Glide-platform exclusive features malarkey...

actually make it

55x2nm process
1000x2MHz core speed.
4000x2MHz (effective) GDDR5
800x2 shaders
256x2-bit memory interface.
40x2 TMUs
16x2ROPs

thats much better :)

Are the full specs.

With two 4850s paired up in CrossFire, we once again ran into issues with our power supply. Our 1000W OCZ EliteXStream wasn't always enough for the dual-GPU setup and in Call of Duty 4 our system rebooted in the middle of our test at 2560 x 1600. Thankfully OCZ sent us a PC Power & Cooling Turbo Cool 1200W unit that is certified for use with GeForce GTX 280 SLI, and if it works on that beast, it had better work with a pair of 4850s in CrossFire.

The above statement from Anandtech is extremely misleading to be honest and I'm very surprised they didn't say something more along the lines of "The 1000W OCZ EliteXStream was having problems running a system consisting of two ATI 4850 graphics cards, which could be various for example, a design fault or a faulty power supply unit. However, a branded 1000 wattage power supply unit would normally be more than enough to power a dual ATI 4850graphics card system, we were just experiencing problems with this particular unit".

There is absolutely no way that you will need a 1000 wattage power supply unit to power a system that includes two ATI 4850 graphics cards. It's also worth noting that they were experiencing very similar problems when trying to run a dual Nvidia GTX 280 with exactly the same power supply unit and to simply imply that a 1000 wattage power supply isn't enough to power a dual Nvidia GTX 280 system is again, misleading.

There must be something wrong there - 1kW and it can't power two 4850s?

I doubt even a tri-SLi GTX280 system would draw that much power.

Yes that's incompetent bull, If the whole setup only used a 12v rail it would only need 27A.....Worrying they are a trusted review Site !
