hahah 2 Molex plugs!

Posted: **Mon Mar 22, 2004 4:43 pm**

those RAM chips look different aswell, square? and jeez 2 molex's im not even gonna guess how much power that card draws

i wonder where he got that pic from?

Posted: **Mon Mar 22, 2004 4:55 pm**

MORE POWER!!!! ARR-ARR-ARRRR!

Posted: **Mon Mar 22, 2004 5:07 pm**

I think XGI's card beat nVidia to it.

Nice... Every time a new card comes out, my GF3 Ti 500 is one step closer to the dumpster

Posted: **Tue Mar 23, 2004 1:57 pm**

Nice

judging form all the holes drilled in that card it's going to come with lots of heatsinks/fans

I like the version number too, "0A"

You know, its responses like this that make me want to learn how to block that mysterious port 88 just so I cant see your ★■◆● Ace...

With all your knowledge and superior A+ wisdom in Computer Electronics which surpasses all of us combined on this board... one would think you would know what that is:

Ball Grid Array (BGA)

Posted: **Tue Mar 23, 2004 11:14 pm**

BGA... that stuff on my OLD ti card....

Not so new, asscumhole.. not so new at all....

we didnt study chip configurations, much less RAM chip types, the only thing in RAM we learned is:

SIMM, DIMM, FPMRAM, EDORAM, SRAM, SDRAM, DRAM, DDRRAM, DCDDR, TDRRAM.......... stuff like that

stress, post some new ati r420+ pics

(weed)

Posted: **Wed Mar 24, 2004 3:17 pm**

Why would I do that?

Posted: **Wed Mar 24, 2004 5:05 pm**

so we can see the comparison between the two rival card makers

Posted: **Wed Mar 24, 2004 5:26 pm**

if you had a clue about setting up a web server, you could do it

only pics I have been able to find of the ATI card:

"ATI's R420 won't support pixel and vertex 3.0 shaders"

Posted: **Wed Mar 24, 2004 6:35 pm**

no they do not, they will have their own shaders that take much more advantage of the new PCI Express. but will still be compatable with games/apps that require it.

as for a web server, i do have one
http://societyofra.com/
an FTP and a mail server also

the server comments were directed towards ace

Posted: **Wed Mar 24, 2004 6:39 pm**

the 4th pix from the top
i wonder what the little 4 pin connector on the top left is for, cause the fan connector is at the bottem

Heh, my comment was directed at AssCombat. Looks nice.

Posted: **Wed Mar 24, 2004 8:00 pm**

Two DVIs? That's interesting...

Posted: **Wed Mar 24, 2004 9:31 pm**

...but nothing new. At least one manufacturer (Gainward) started doing that back with the GF4 Ti's. Given the predictions that LCDs are going to start outselling CRTs soon it makes sense in the long run.

Posted: **Wed Mar 24, 2004 10:36 pm**

It looks like a video card...

Posted: **Wed Mar 24, 2004 10:43 pm**

im with krom on this one.
although those ram chips on the ati's look nice and fast

Could be almost anything - but given it's probably an engineering sample those pins are probably for debugging console, monitoring equipment etc.

Posted: **Thu Mar 25, 2004 9:46 am**

the pic of the entire ATi card, those RAM Chips say "GDDR3", do they have DDR2 and DDR3 already out?!?!?!?

i must admit the ATi card looks beefy and is trying to outrun the NVidia NV40

Posted: **Thu Mar 25, 2004 11:46 am**

Not sure about DDR3 but DDR2's been available for a while, the FX5800 had it IIRC, as did one of the Radeons (the original 9800 Pro?). Also, where the hell is the monitor connector on the R420? Are those pics even for real?

Posted: **Thu Mar 25, 2004 1:44 pm**

thats what i'm saying
the r420 looks like it's no where near done.

but the only place i've heard about it was from anandtech.

If you look at it closely enough, you can see the solder points for the connectors. The solder points for the s-video connector is easily visible. They probably hadn't gotten around to soldering them on before those pictures were taken.

Posted: **Thu Mar 25, 2004 3:24 pm**

i wonder what that 3 point jumper block is for?

Posted: **Thu Mar 25, 2004 4:11 pm**

GDDR production is aparently ahead of DDR. Cetain models of the Radeon 9800 Pro where using GDDR2 last year.

Posted: **Thu Mar 25, 2004 6:23 pm**

whats the "G" stand for? im guessing "Graphics" tell me if im wrong please

Posted: **Thu Mar 25, 2004 7:10 pm**

Jesus ace, quit being so Fing lazy and use google.

No it doesn't stand for "graphics"

Posted: **Thu Mar 25, 2004 7:52 pm**

So, I've been out of the loop on bleeding edge graphics since I got a 9700pro over a year ago. What is the latest and greatest from ATI and Nvidia? How soon till the next cards come out?
