ATI Releases More "R600" Details

320-stream processors, named ATI Radeon HD 2900

AMD has named the rest of its upcoming ATI Radeon DirectX 10 product lineup. The new DirectX 10 product family received the ATI Radeon HD 2000-series moniker. For the new product generation, AMD has tagged HD to the product name to designate the entire lineup's Avivo HD technology. AMD has also removed the X-prefix on its product models.

Sick! That's a bad ass card, might have to get me one of those, and 24x anti-aliasing? Are you kidding me ATI? that's INSANE!!

[CAPS LOCK]

are starting to own nivida, the specs of this card are "sick" as xbox360rocks said. i have to agree with u 100%

[soccerstar]

well i may have to go ati this time for dx10 when i upgrade from my 7800gtx

[marison]

... with a cheap 64 stream processors ATI Radeon HD 2100 ;-)

ATI Xenos/Xbox 360 GPU: 48 stream processors/unified shaders
Nvidia Geforce 8800: 128 stream processors/unified shaders
ATI R600/Radeon HD 2800: 320 stream processors/unified shaders

Maybe they have included some eDRAM too. If so, that 24x anti-aliasing could be possible with almost no impact on performance.

[JsonHenry]

this card only needs an extra underpowered processor and it would be faster and have more RAM than any current GEN Console, lol!

[JsonHenry]

Should I sell my 8800GTS for this card? I want BENCHMARKS YESTERDAY!!!!

[ALIEN]

i will have to get that card, when i get my new loptop.

[BubblesDAVERAGE]

Wouldn't this be great is a ps3 instead of that other crap they went with...

[Antan]

Come to Daddy!!!! I can smell 2 of these crossfired in my rig already!!!!!!!! this kind of setup would chew Crysis to bits, regurgitate then chew again!!!

[Drew]

I've used some ES versions of this thing, and it COOKS LIKE YOU WOULDN'T BELIEVE. The second it comes out I'm selling my dual 8800's. I can't wait.

[dissectionalrr]

haha... you just bought dual 8800's and now you're upgrading to dual r600's? has there even been a game worth playing that pushes the "old" 8800's yet? this is why i'm glad i'm not a pc gamer. give me a system that runs world of warcraft. it's the only pc game worth playing anyway... pretty dx10 graphics on a $5,000 rig or not.

[The_Firestarter]

A gaming rig DOESN'T COST $5,000! Damnit, why does so many console fanboys think it costs that much money? I swear, I have to spell it out for everybody.

[Drew]

This was probably directed at me, so I'm going to answer it. The high-end PC market is extremely lucrative. Buy something and it's outdated the following month. That's how it's always been, and always will be. It IS expensive, and you should come into the market knowing that, but nowhere NEAR as expensive as you make it out to be. I can make what basically amounts to a top-of-the-line rig, with the ability to receive significant future augmentation, for around $2,000. And that's including a monitor, speakers, and all of the peripherals. The only places that it's "$5,000" is at the boutique computer places, like Alienware and Flacon Northwest. You're just paying for brand, like everything else in the world. So man, you might try doing a little research before you talk about this stuff.

Oh, and by buying dual HD 2900's, I'll be futureproofed for a looong time. It will keep me from buying new GPU's every two months, which is what I've been doing. New games are coming out almost every week, and each if more demanding than the last. I'm just trying to keep my head above water. No good if I drowned, eh?

[gta_cb]

this is going to be soo... sweet!

at the moment i a running a AIT Radeon X800 GTO but when i need/want to upgrade again i am soo going to buy this unless some bad news occurs.

[kewlkat007]

This guys swears he can build a TOP gaming rig, for like $600. Come on..bro who you fooling, unless your cutting many corners or something. When we saya gaming RIG, remember a nice 19 inch+ monitor, nice logitech mouse, and silent but cool case for them dual cards.

This card is exactly why I game on Consoles. This card looks sick, but beware Nvidia always have something up their sleaves. I admit my Computer is way behind, I won't even list the Card I have on here because my ATI XT card sh!t the bed.

Eveytime I say I'm gonna get or build something great, by the time that I'm ready soem NEW card is out or Coming out. I like th elatest and best when I build, it's one of those things( if anybody agrees). Eventually I'll break and build a nice Cost efficient Gaming Rig. For now I'll stick to the consoles, go out buy a game and enjoy as the developers intended you to, not downgraded visuals.

[id dot entity]

Man what ATI is presenting us is really astounding! I mean... I wanted to buy a 8800... but man I'm GLAD that I waited for a few months. Add some more months to that and I will buy the best card ever made.

Man I love ATI.

[Silvia007]

But it all depends on the one building it. My custom water cooling kit for my pc alone cost more then a my 360 and the steering wheel (for Forza ofcourse woot!!). But that's not the point. I just love high powered gear and if someone is willing to spend... upwards of 5k for a pc, so what? In my eyes, they have every right to brag about it. Damn well deserves it. For one, I'd definately get a set of these bad boys. Only thing is, then my computer will chew more power then my central air conditioning system lol. That does suck a bit. Oh well. You can't own a hummer and worry about gas I guess.
