Round 4 is here the duking started back in 2000 with the 9700pro now then went on to the FX vs. the pros now to ULTRAS vs. XT.
NOW XT950XT vs. G70 and G80 i know the ATI is expected to use now its said GDDR4 with 512MB as well as 24pixle pipes 950mhz core to 1000mhz and RAM of 1.4 to 2.8 effetive. With 512-bits of mem interface. Yes the G70 should be similar but shouldnt be out till September while the X950XT should be out in late MAy earily JUNE.
The latest list of rumored specs for the R520 include : 24 Pipelines 950MHz Core 512-bit 512MB 1.8GHz GDDR4 Memory (Effective 2.8ghz) 57.6 GB/sec Bandwidth (at 1.8GHz) 32 Texture Units 96 Arithmetic Logic Units (ALU) 192 Shader Operations per Cycle 134.4 Billion Shader Operations per Second (at 700MHz) 300-350 Million Transistors 90nm Manufacturing Shader Model 3.0 ATI HyperMemory ATI Multi Rendering Technology (AMR) Performance Improvement of 3X Over Radeon X800 XT 16x stochastic FSAA FP32 blending, texturing
there not in a hurry. will be next year before we see a game large enouf to need a 24 pipe 512 meg card. I think they will take there time and do it right.
as for this moron in HWA who thinks ATI is just killing nvidia and has sence and i quote 9700 pro. ATI has never been ahead in this its been a very close race and dose not show a sign of changing any time soon. each have strong points about there cards.

this should be fun to watch all the companies drool and brawl over each other :guh:
I agree LOL, let them kill themselves LOL :woot:
I really have loads of respect for the ATI Radeon 9700 Pro This card was amazing, before I replayed it with an X800 XL ;)
Now I played HL2 with my 9700 Pro & the performance was great. I even played DOOM 3 for months with this card with no problems. I had my setting on medium quality, but that was O.K.
May the ATI Radeon 9700 Pro live again with the new R520 :rolleyes:
