Unless they manage to make this purely driver/Software...
which would be cool
Also, if ATIs attitude towards OCing is any factor recently (like how they sponsored that OC show in texas) then the R520s should be good OCers (Hopefully)
USMC2Hard4U said:But my biggest question is... is it REQUIRED for me to have an ATi Chipset to use their cards in SLI...
or will any Chipset do
Nothing is wrong with an ATi Chipset.. espically the one that they just announced however... When building an Intel system... I like to sitck with Intel Chipsets.... just my prefereanceHate_Bot said:Who knows?
And anyways, whats wrong with the ATI Chipset/?
mohammedtaha said:Well I'm assuming they're gonna use the Sapphire Motherboard with the ATi chipset. Although this one in particular does not have 2 pci-e x 16 slots
I won't be surprised if Sapphire also designs white pcb's for the new cards.
That would kill all sales of every other motherboard and video card company !!

Or...you could have just posted a link to the post you took these images from.

There thumbnaisl btw, you can click them to make them bigger, if thats what your talking about resizing
And stealing other peoples bandwith isn't good.

Hate_Bot said:wait are you agreeing with me or disagreeing? Cuz this is what I just said...
We have confirmed the 24 pipelines rumors from several independant sources. However, these 24 pipelines are not comparable to 24 of today's pipelines - multiply by 1.5. So the 24 pipelines will have the performance of 32 "normal" pipelines.
The result of this is that the R520 will be two times as fast as the currently fastest X850s.

I dont think you will be able to use ATi's solution for dual cards on anything but their chipset for dual graphics cards, this seems to have already been exhibited by the Asus MVP board which was accidentally shown at CES, and it makes sense too. A purely software solution (which is what would be required to use any motherboard) would likely place a decent load on the CPU, which is exactly what you dont want when you are gaming (and if your not gaming you have no use for SLI or MVP in the first place.
The only problem with using an ATi chipset atm is that ATi has not fixed the problems with their southbridge yet, but they will before they release any motherboards with it I am sure.

arentol said:Ahh man, how can you not love Hate_Bot? Someone disagrees with him and he can't even figure out that they were saying he's wrong.
Hate_Bot, do you not understand the meaning of the term "Actual" and how using it when something is "Equivalent" is wrong?
Lets use the above terms to re-write what the article said, then look again at what you said....
What the Article said: "The card ACTUALLY has 24 pipelines, but they are EQUIVALENT to 32 pipelines by todays standards."
What you said: "The card has 32 ACTUAL pipelines."
What you meant: "The card will perform like it has 32 pipelines."
Things like this are what makes it so fun, but fustrating, to debate with you Hate_Bot. You can read something and understand it, and yet when you actually talk about it you somehow manage to say something close to the truth, but ultimately completely wrong. Makes for a good time though, and that's why you gotta love Hate_Bot.

Hate_Bot said:I resisted posted this, as to not get flamed, but I have to agree.
Fake Edit: Also, this Dx support seems all the more likely, since MS' new console will have an R520, and since MS will defenetly have Dx10 in the OS of the new Xbox, it seems pretty likely that they gave the Info to ATI, about Dx10 and so on
mavalpha said:It's been all but confirmed that Xenon will have R500 (not R520) as its graphics engine, just as nVidia's development for the PS3 core is the foundation for NV50 (or whatever the next-gen GeForce will be called).
TheFury said:Wow, R520 is going to dominate the market. I feel bad for nvidia if they don't come out with something.
That's all I've found thus far- sorry!http://www.consolecheatcodes.com/xbox/xbox2news.html said:ArtX was originally commissioned by Nintendo to create the Flipper chip for the GameCube. ATI (which acquired ArtX) will now be working closely with Microsoft. Without a doubt, ATI is still bound by contract to Nintendo, but Nintendo's hardware graphics ally is now sleeping with the enemy.
Hate_Bot said:get with the times mad, PCI-E is the way to go
They probably will eventually release an AGP version
But still, this is very nice, 32 actual pipes!!!
wow...
thats it.. just...
wow...
SnowBeast said:Oh well. Car and kid is first...
SnowBeast said:Damn. I called it in a thread a few weeks ago here and rage3d. The whole 24 pipes didn't make sense. Speciallly dropping down to .09 fab. Every top of the line card from 2 pipes to 16 has doubled on new architecture.(R200-4,R300-8,R420-16,R520-32 pipes.)
This owns. Wish I could get a PCI-E and couple of 520's this year. Oh well. Car and kid is first...
USMC2Hard4U said:For the Record and Clairification so people dont have to bounce all around the post.
R520 will have 24 Accual physical Pipelines. They will just have the performance of "32" Pipes due to the technology it uses.
Its just the the P4 with HT. Its not 2 CPU's but it "acts" like 2 CPUs....
C'mon im a Marine, I suck at stuff like readingmohammedtaha said:dammit homie .. proof read ?
You definitely misunderstood SnowBeast's post. He said that he was suprised that ATi had not doubled it's "actual" pipes as it has in every other graphics card release. Please, stop flaming and read. Thanks.arentol said:See, this is what I am talking about Hate_Bot. This guy reads your statement that it has "32 actual pipes", and now he honestly believes it has 32 ACTUAL PHYSICAL PIPES, even though the article CLEARLY states it has 24 ACTUAL PHYSICAL PIPES. SnowBeast is now going to go all over the internet posting about how he was right when he said it would have 32 pipes, and how awesome he is to have guessed it. Then lots of other people are going to listen to him (even though people like me will be posting just after him saying he is wrong), and it's going to get spread all over hell and back simply because YOU typed actual when you should have typed something like "equivalent".
You know what SnowBeasts post is proof of. It's proof that your statement was MISLEADING. You didn't lie. You weren't intentionally trying to mislead people, but you managed to tell mislead people because you used a term that was not correct for the meaning you intended it to convey.
And the worst part is you totally understand the article, and what it meant, and yet you apparently have such a warped understanding of the english language that you still can't understand why it is COMPLETELY and UTTERLY wrong to say "actual" when you mean "equivalent".
So I ask you.... Can you NOW see why it was very misleading to say actual?

Props to ATi on this one....2005 will be a crazy year for gaming.
