honestly i think it 3 series will be like the old X series... if i were them i will call it HD2950pro... at around RM100-200 more than HD2900XT... to buy time and earn money to produce something better...

where you get the idea iit will be around 100-200 more than HD2900XT?

I'm LOLing. So the 8800GT is "cheap" and this isn't?

The Rm750 tip is pretty accurate for the 3850. Everything in Malaysia is more expensive (especially nVidia cards) so:

RM800 for a 3850 is reasonable. Should even be 512MB.
3870 should touch RM1000 (GDDR3), RM1200 (GDDR4, and super cooler)

Remember, these graphics cards are cheaper to produce than X1950 PROs.
Yes, cheaaapeeeeer. A LOT cheaper. Cheap. Get the idea?

(Now, let's see the nTards start spouting crap on ATI being "cheap". )

that would b fuking interesting

where u get the RV670 HD3870,3850 cost price ...

Mid november? Damn I am so wanting this if it performs. Too bad I'll make my first rig in exactly about 1 year's time though .

About these cards being cheap... hmm isn't creating 55nm process hard enough? AMD sidetracked from 45nm and went 55nm first >.> .

this could be exciting...RV670 vs the '8800gt'
or am i wrong?

i will wait for ati i dont like nvidia and no i am not a fanboy

i personally feel that nvidia is always business oriented.
coming out products for just the sake of consumers money.
not really into the benefits of the consumers aka get the full features/ technology.
every model of thier products not totally all-in-one, really makes u hard to choose.

guess i would have to wait for ati to choose my next coming card.

keke. nvidia fan, pls dont flame me, its just my what i see. ^^

well all i can say is hmm their G80 cores did perform well during the games that was released
and then later with the G92 will expect the same

Issue with them is their so called extra support and features

Purevideo,
SLi
their suck nforce chipsets that seems to haven gotten downhill after nforce 4

Ati on the other hand.. good card.. good level of details

cons:
very game to driver orientated
and until today i still thin catalyst is a really bad program and ati tray is better.

and the pros for the card would be really this
its overclocking friendly...

is that an educated guess or do you have a reliable source on the pricing?

hope it's true tho...even better if it's lower

wise step. but now all rush to buy 8800GT . maybe in their mind already the GT will out perform the upcomming ATI GC.....

lol...we don't know how the upcoming ATI series performance...
So, they just compare the GT with the GTS, GTX somemore.

hmmm actually 8800GT do outperform R670Xt with DDR4 here this link ... but they say only... best is still wait for the actual card to release

the 8800gt generates more heat than others.
by going 55nm (such as RV670) will greatly reduce the heat issues.
if u look at 8800gt, u can see its 70 degress++ when loading...
its totally an oven if i put it into an sff...

maybe ati will counter with lower price u know la Amd

8800gt uses only single slot cooling system ... what do you expect?
8800gt uses only single slot cooling system , because 8800gt is more efficient and generate less heat.. not like 8800gts

actually i don quite understand why ati cant perform. they have more stream processors, higher clock speed, higher memory speed, yet they just perform as good as other nvidia cards. wat is the theory behind this? any sifu can answer me?

btw, i am not a nvidia fanboy. i am more inclined to ati. i think nvidia only good in processing speed. they don look at other things. ati pay more attention to the image quality other than raw speed.

but nvidia's marketing is very good, know how to show their advantage in processing speed, and always release earlier than ati to gain market share first.

hav to wait until november, while the 8800GT already out. gatal la....

I am going to switch to ATI too. To me ATI is better for video playing I am not a gamer.
I have been an AMD fan boy since 6 years ago and I will be an ATI's soon.
Btw, Nvidia fan please don't flame me. It's only my personal preference.

and dont forget too. the 8800GT not support direct X 10.1 . and the upcomming ATI is support both DX 10.1 and PCI 2.0

good news. hehe
