R420 Shows up at IDF ripped from Beyond3D: However of more interest was that it appears that ATI’s future high end part R420 made a small appearance. According to Tweakers.net, in a short part discussing the GDDR-3 graphics memory, which currently has speeds in the range of 500 - 700MHz (1 - 1.4GHz effective) ATI demonstrated a demo of the upcoming, DirectX9 heavy title, Colin McRae Rally 4 on R420, which was quoted as running at 2 - 3 time faster than present DirectX9 capable hardware. We contacted ATI to verify if this was R420 and they stated that they had demonstrated the title running on their future "Next Generation Hardware" which is as good an confirmation of…

R480/R430 taped out and running "R480 is ATI's December PCIe update while R430 will be a cheaper core that will replace some of the slower X800 cards. We still have to investigate the R430 but we see it as an NV41 competitor."

Radeon 3870 X2 works at 825MHz "ATI dared to clock two RV670 chips to over 775MHz, and it realized that its dual slot cooler can cool this chip all the way to 825MHz. This is the current clock of Radeon 3870 X2, but some partners might clock it a bit faster. This is the minimal clock of the card. ATI clocked it at over 800MHz in order to break one Teraflop, and this will be the first card to do that, while Nvidia’s Geforce 9800 GX2 will be the second to go over this mark." HD3870X2 delayed, benchmarked "AMD HAS riled world+dog by back the date on the 3870X2 launch. NDA’d for today, the twin engine graphics card was supposed to shock and awe consumers a…

Radeon 4000 HD info "New High ending model becomes the ATI Radeon hp 4870 X2 (R700XT). Like the Radeon hp 3870 X2 are used here two (RV770) diagram chips on a plate. Also over 2 TeraFLOPS (FLOPS = floating decimal point operations per second) this diagram map should be theoretically four times faster than a Radeon hp 3870. Radeon hp 4870 X2 diagram maps can to be equipped with 1 or 2 GByte GDDR5 memory and be supposed approximately 250 Watts to use. A chip clock of 1050 MHz and a storing act of 1800 MHz are planned." <<< actual Babel Fish Translation of the same page

Radeon HD 2600 and 2400 are born "The HD 2400 also sees a split into two SKUs. AMD's kept the XT and PRO naming structure in place and, like the HD 2600 series, both are distinguished solely in terms of different clockspeeds. Remember, however, that the sub-£50 pricing will be reflected in performance. It may adhere to DX10 and be adequate at, say, 1024x768 but its architecture is such that it'll (rightfully) struggle with any serious load."

AMD Intros $99 DirectX 11 Graphics Card AMD's latest graphics cards provide the horsepower needed to play mainstream video games. The Radeon HD 5670 includes AMD's ATI Eyefinity technology, which supports up to three displays, providing at least one has a DisplayPort connector. In addition to bringing the full DirectX 11, OpenCL, and DirectX Compute features found in all the other 5000 series ATI cards, the 5670 still includes support for "Eyefinity", ATI's multiple monitor solution. Clock speeds are 775 MHz for the graphics core, with 1 GHz GDDR5 memory on a 128-bit bus. That gives it a peak of 620 gigaflops of compute power and 64 GB/sec of memory bandwidth. P…

Download me [*] Based on the Catalyst 6.1 Official drivers. [+] Starting from this set, I will use my own version internally for the Catalyst drivers, instead of using 6.1, 6.2, etc, I will be naming them 6.01, 6.02, etc, this will make the Cat versions less confusing and more "logical". [*] Updated Multires to v1.56. (fixes the "non-supported" resolutions bug) [+] New version naming scheme for the Omega Drivers, now is based on the internal ATI version number than in the 2D Display version. [F] Fixed bug when ATT produce BSOD at start up on some motherboards like Asus P5WD2 [*] Improved current 3D settings detection on new Catalyst installation [F] Fixed bug…

ATI's New High End and Mid Range: Radeon X1950 XTX & X1900 XT 256MB "To make things even better, the CrossFire version, which has identical clocks, is also priced at $449; in other words, there’s no reason not to get the CrossFire version. ATI confirmed to us that you can run a pair of X1950 CrossFire cards in CrossFire mode, further reinforcing the fact that there’s no reason to even buy the regular card. You get the same performance, same features and better flexibility with the CrossFire card so why not?"

ATI R600 is Radeon X2x00 series "So, the T-bone is full a 12 inches long (30cm). This baby is dubbed XTX, and will feature-top-of-the-line, 1GB GDDR-4 memory from Samsung. You can count on 16 memory chips yielding 1GB of video memory connected to the GPU via 512-bit external bus. Memory chips could do 2.4GHz clock (1.2GHz physical), yielding in yet unseen bandwidth of 153.6 GB/s, dwarfing 8800GTX and its 86.4 GB/s. However, this clock is not guaranteed - not everything is in the bandwidth, but rather in the way you use it."

ATI Radeon X700 XT / PRO Review "Rather than being based on R300, RV410's architecture is taken from R420 which results in X700 having longer pixel shader instruction capabilities and 3Dc normal map compression. The memory bus is also based on the new programmable memory bus from R420, which allows for much higher memory clock rates than any R300 based part, thus enabling X700 to utilise higher performance memory, making up a little for the lack of 256-bit memory bus." "If one of X700's goals was to bring last years high end performance down to a mainstream price then, for the most part they've succeeded with the X700 XT outperforming the 9800 PRO in most graphic…
