romeo55 Posted December 24, 2005 Posted December 24, 2005 The register is somewhat... un reliable, but there are right some of the time heres a link to the article http://www.theregister.co.uk/2005/12/23/at...es_r580_launch/ 48 pixel pipelines... yeah... EDIT: anandtech announced it too, but i don't exactly trust them eiher Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClayMeow Posted December 24, 2005 Posted December 24, 2005 the x1900 has 16 pipes. The 48 is how many pixel-processing shaders there are (3 per pipe). It's called manipulative advertising . And you know it's just going to be a paper launch, and it won't actually hit stores for a year after that, in which time the nvidia g71's will be released.

I guess it could be 24 pipes with 2 shaders per pipe instead of 16 with 3, but I read the 16 with 3 thing. We'll find out when they officially announce it I guess.

bigred Posted December 24, 2005 Posted December 24, 2005 24 pipe X1800XTPE's are coming very quickly. also the R580 that the X1900 series cards are based on was actually done before the the R520 was shipping out the doors (debated if ATI should hav put it out first) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MalaX3 Posted December 26, 2005 Posted December 26, 2005 and nVidia will rock that card too with some absolutely insane pimp slap as usual... but it is exciting.. means a push for nVidia to keep on top of things and not slip behind.

Geforce 4s were faster than the R300 right? And don't forget the FX series! They stomped all over the 9800 Pro and XT, just slaughtered them!

And then ATI will do the same, then nVidia again, then ATI, then nVidia, then... Till the end of time. Fanboyism gets you nowhere.
