I'm sorry, wasn't I thinking about buying an X1950 just one year ago?
How many more numbers are they going to have to increase before people realize that they are repackaging the same old crap?

old, boring argument. geforce 2 and geforce 4MX was the same thing, GF 6 and 7 were very similar, 8 and 9 share GPU cores, ATI have so many i wont bother listing them all (9500/9800, 1600/1650, 2xx0 3xx0)

im torn between the 4870 and 9900gtx, im just gonna have to see benchmarks... :banghead:

im gonna need something that can play all games at 1920x1200 smoothly with all settings turned up since im getting a new gateway 24" monitor.

Nice specs and price ranges, but ATi really should hire some folk that actually CAN program drivers... when this happens, their lower prices will beat the hell out of nVidia or at least create some real competition.

i dont think their drivers are the problem also nvidia has traditionally been the one with the driver problems

ANYTHING YOU SAY ABOUT NV OR ATI SUCKING CAN BE APPLIED EQUALLY TO THE OTHER ONE. PLEASE STOP THIS REPETITIVE FANBOI CRAP.

i can honestly say the quality of ati drivers have fallen.

LMFAO , you're saying this about ATI???

try appling that rant to Nvidia, then you will be onto something

Actually, he is just saying it in general. I don't say any mention of specific companys at all in his rant. For all you know he is talking about graphics companies in general. Of course an ATi fanboy would instantly take the defensive for ATi, and the fact that you seem to imply that ATi is innocent of this and nVidia isn't just adds more argument to your fanboyism. The fact is both do it.

Very very true.

Fillrate... meh all marketing BS. The drivers are the reason why the GPUs dont perform as the specs say they should. Anyway, analysing the fillrate of the HD3850s... it seems pretty obvious why the GPUs had less performance...

However they said "match" we want to see the HD 4800 series MOW DOWN the G92s...

-tkpenalty sighs- although its rather early to judge, I would be surprised if these manage to trample the G92 series. AMD for the R6xx GPUs have obviously had a deficit in the TMUs/ROPs, I find it VERY hard to believe how they oversaw that. Their GPUs have the shader power... but not the texturing power to compensate.

when i had my x800 i always used omega drivers, they seemed better.

for my nv card i was using 174.74 and it blue screened occasionally, i downgraded to 169.44 for more stability, im waiting for a new WHQL driver soon. even though WHQL means a bunch of M$ people played with it for a while and said "yup, seems ok to me"

[I.R.A]_FBi · Apr 24, 2008

yeah, latest whql is from december .. lame

v-zero · Apr 24, 2008

Looks good, should be 1.5-1.8x as fast, should make the 38xx series rock bottom prices too...

That seems extremely conservative. 320 stream processors to 480 is like a 50% increase in that alone. Then theres the 1050mhz shader speed to the 775. The faster memory should help a little, the fact its 1GB. I would say a clear 50%+ increase if i had to guess.

I don't want to set myself up for disappointment, lol. So I'm fibbing to myself. I'm really hoping its 50% faster. That would be fantastic. :rockout:

Disappointment is become sort of a phenomenon off late. 8800 GTX -> 9800 GTX, talk about disappointment.

I don't see why everyone was so disappointed with the 9800GTX. It is exactly what nVidia said it was going to be. It isn't like they hyped the specs up and then released something that wasn't even close. I still don't understand why everyone heard "G92 based card with higher clocks" and then expected some beast that would blow away everything currently out. You knew what it was from the day it was announced, you can't be disappointed when a card comes out exactly as it was presented.

its faster than the 8800GTX, uses less power and runs colder. it also has better decoding for HD media (that was missing from the GTX and ultra, while the 8500/8600 always had it)

sic, i hope this owns a 9600gt

A 3870GX2 pwns one of those.

JrRacinFan · Apr 24, 2008

I wonder what the HD4650 model is going to be like.

Well, it wasn't quiet.

True, for about double the price, but a single HD3870 does not. A 9600GT is faster than a HD3870.

Edit: Actually it is closer to triple the price.

I'm hoping the HD4870 is better than the 9800GTX, or at least as good which shouldn't be a problem judging from the specs. I would love to see some decent competition at that price point again. Which I hope will drive prices down about $50.

It is impossible because the claim was never made.

I love your logic! If it's not claimed, then it's not possible! :rockout:

I am disappointed that it seems the 4870 won't have a 1Ghz core speed though.

Megasty · Apr 24, 2008

Well atleast these specs seem to be more believable then the junk we saw a few weeks ago. I'm still aiming for the x2. Its stacking up to be sick monster. I wonder when we'll see a game that can use all that power

No, you seem to not be able to follow the conversation.

I pointed out that there was a claim that the HD4870 would be the worlds first mass produced GPU clocked at 1GHz and asked what happened to that.

He then said it went away just like 100% efficient SLI. Which implies that somewhere it was claimed that SLI would be 100% efficient.

I then asked him to show me where that was claimed, which he was unable to do because it was never claimed. I never said it wasn't possible, I said it wasn't possible for him to produce an article with that claim in it because no article exists.

kylew · Apr 24, 2008

batmang said:
I'm gonna guess 15% at default clocks.

lol at you, plucking random figures from the air. 320 SPs versus 480 SPs, what's the increase there? 50%? Correct. Even the clock increase to 850 on the core is 10%, never mind the independent shader clock. Use common sense and you wouldn't have to pluck random figures out of the air.
