X1800GTO za samo 279$ (R590)

[psf[i]-[Tomek]]

We just received news that internal roadmaps from ATI have revealed more information about R590. R590 will launch at the beginning of March for $279 (depending on vendor). The R590 ASIC is effectively the Radeon X1900 core, but at a lower clock speed with some disabled features -- the roadmap did not state exactly what has been disabled. Expect to see the card retail as the Radeon X1800 GTO. The roadmap revealed that these cards will come with 256MB of memory.

Evo za modere...

A year ago, ATI used a very similar tactic by labeling R480 and R423 ASIC as Radeon X800 GTO video cards. Several clever users were able to use BIOS hacks to unlock the disabled pipelines on these cards. This may not be possible with the X1800 GTO as it uses a dedicated R590 ASIC spun specifically for these card models.


Banana..

Vjerojatno neki 6800GS pandan dok ne uleti novi čip, RV560 ili kako će ga već zvati.

Sad Fuad kaže da će kartica biti za 249$ i imat 12 pajpa sa clokovima 500/1000.

On ne spominje 36 pixel shadera ... što znači vjerojatno srezani R520? Ime serije također odgovara, a i info koji je navodno poteko od samog Ati-a gdje se kartica smješta između X1600XT i X1800XL sa 6600 Marka 2005.

Al dajte, braćo, da se može odlokavat! Ovo zvuči otužno:

Ma neznaju još ni oni, a najmanje od svega je vjerojatno da će se čip zvati R590 ... time bi cijela dosadašnja ATI-jeva politika numerirenja čipova pala u vodu.
