Does anyone know any definite info about it, or when it comes out?

**NEvolution** · 01-15-2007, 05:34 PM

No definite info, should come out around February.

No pictures of the PCB, only of the core.

More info here. Link
Take the info with a grain of salt. May or may not be fake.

Fake, ATI said so somewhere, can't find it atm.

First gen DX10 cards from ATI won't do that well imo, all game devs making DX 10 games will be using the Nvidia 8800 series of cards to do testing on. Granted that there are very few DX10 games actually in development right now, but that will probably be the case.
Also working drivers will take ages to perfect, ATI drivers and Vista are kinda buggy right now.

That sucks. I heard that it would be coming out on the 22 and I was thinking I'd use it in my new computer.

That won't be happening.
They are still working on it and according to a friend who works at ATI on the R600, they most definitely will NOT meet production schedules.

Expect it to come around March or later.

ATi drivers in general suck. For XP I use the Omega drivers. And Linux just plain sucks, might as well not bother. And now I hear they're buggy on Vista.

My next gfx card will be nVidia for sure now.
