how bout this our military is so advanced that we twice wiped out the iraqi forces in a matter of weeks with what 10 maybe 1000 casulaties when they had one of the largest armies in the world with soviet weaponry, so keep talkin we could take over f**kin europe with the national guard, you have no idea the extent of american technology, an btw u motherf**kers hows it feel knowing that most americans in the military outway u by 100 pounds and are 5 inches taller than you, its because we are a higher evolution we are a new breed of human

Go to driver heaven to see a interesting spin on this. Looks like Sanders who did the original "leaked" results of the R520 is lying.....

Anonymous

at 6:48 19/9/2005

Actually the R580 will have 32 PIPELINES and run at above 650mhz and run with the same 512 memory interface controller as the R520.
This is the card that i want to grab. The R520 they claim now at the inquirer will indeed run faster then 600mhz and 1400mhz. If that's the case, then the R520 just might end up faster then the 7800. Quite a feat if this is true considering the R520 has 8 pipelines less.

Anonymous

at 6:41 19/9/2005

there will be a 24 pipeline card

FACTS

at 2:16 18/9/2005

what r520 has 16 pipelines only! damn its crap
even now the cut down version of 7800gtx has 20 pipelines with a reasonable price!! hahha
here in uk it costs around £270
even with 17.5% tax!, which still outperforms all then cards available in the market, referring to the becnmarks which i've seen in some magazines!!
And dont forget guys nvidia will cut down the prices of their 7800gtx/gt as soon as ati releases r500 series.
CONCOLUSION: Nvidia wins both ways, especially the price they'll be offering that time!!

at 10:18 16/9/2005

Unless ATI releases the R580 and quick, i can see no reason to spend $599.00 on this card when the 7800GTX is $150 cheaper and is faster overall. ATI, you dug a nice deep hole. Even deeper then the 5800 did. And that was a cavern.

Looks like ATI's R520 is not the card to grab right now. Either wait for the R580 with more pipelines or grab the 7800. The R520 is a dissappointment form these early tests.

Ati is way further ahead than nvidia. In the xbox360, they already finished a gpu which is almost a whole generation ahead of anything nvidia is gonna have. The only reason ati has not released their such advanced cards is because damn MS paid them off to not release it...

America is a bunch of ignorant people living with money and oportunites that they take for granted. China has been pulling ahead of America in engineering. We have a terrible literacy rate, even being the country with the most public schools in the world. Japan has surpassed our GNP relatively recently. America is going to the dumps. Americans have hated their own presidents for decades. We've got record breaking gas prices every day. Need I say more? I don't prefer ATI or NVidia, I prefer good cards that do what I want them to.

Guruboy

In all seriousness, I used your post along with others in a class to show the ignorance of today's youth. Dead serious. I got a good grade from your stupidity. You really think America is still the best? 75% of the products America uses are made overseas. You know that half the world's water consumption is cattle that is used for meat...90% of which goes to the US? The US has been sitting on its fat ass while other countries pull ahead.

Nvidia vs Ati I'll go for none they are both inferior products to what I beleive will be a new video card released to the public with 24 pipelines 1gb of ram, 2024 mhz speed, a crapload of tweaks... shader 6.0, directx NEXT(10) and probrably will need three power connectors to the damn thing...like a 800 watt power supply, and minimum of a p4 4.6ghz(800mzh fsb) or fx-62 6000mzh fsb processor... well one things for sure intel SUCKS!!!

I find that Nvidia holds firmly on the low end cheap ass card market over ATI. Providing 60 dollar cards that are actually smokin ATI's similiar solutions. now I believe right now ATI holds the mid end market. those who want power but dont wanna spend 2 much. and Nvidia just popped out with that 7800 bad boy and they currently hold the high end market. notice how like every f**kin 7800 was sold out weeks before arrival.. zip, new, monarch, all gone. anyway I'm babbling and its literally 5am. I currently own a Gigabyte 6600 256Mb Turboforce edition with 520.650 timings with logisys's copper vantec owning solution.(same f**kin thing as the 5 but cheaper). I currently hold the highest pcmark04 for my system setup(brags). My card also has a score 1000 higher on 3dmark 5 over a x700 pro. w/e night

Anonymous at 2:9 9/9/2005: Don't worry about xb360 and the "next-gen" consoles. They'll still be 2nd grade to top-end pc games. Its either MS is lying their ass off about real console specs or they're ready to lose lots of money on the console. Don't forget that they still lose money on xb even though its thoroughly outdated.
Speaking of ATI, I have their x850xt and its awesome. I used to be an nVidia fan but returned my 6800u and got x850xt, it was cheaper, runs quieter and performs better. Can't go wrong with that I guess. The nVidia/ATI haters need to check their facts and try other cards first hand before starting that ignorant b***h best.

second
how the hell do u think that they can made the 24/32 pipelines that easy !!

u need material that allow u to have those abilities and stuff !

and even if they made it !! i think they would need a new Motherbords or remade the Bus Speed to 1024 ! and by that time ur askin about the minimum ram for the PC gonna be 256 if not 512 !!

so it's too earily to release such a technology

the r520 is not the x360's graphic chip not will it match the performance. X360 will be matched next year by the r600 or so.

This crappy card(r520), yes i said CRAPPY, should've been out long ago, ATI had to hold it back else they'd release the next one(r600) too soon and beat the x360 months after the release. f**k MS and ATI for playing their game

yeah, ati wouldnt be that stupid, they would lose so many customers that wanted the 24 and 32 versions, and force them to buy lower versions at a lower cost or buy a 7800.

Trust me. ATI will have the 24 pipeline part and the 32 pipeline part ready when it's needed. This is just pure postering from ATI to catch Nvidia off guard

16 Pipelines?
What is ATI planing to do with only 16 pipelines?

nVidia made the same mistake with FX5800 Ultra with puny pipelines count.

ATI should focus on 32 pipelines instead of upping the core that will require a 2 slot solution.


Anonymous

at 6:9 9/9/2005

The Ultra card for the 7800 has been effectively cancelled. Check The Inquirer for details. Expect to see a 24 pipeline part of the r520 when it's 16 pipeline brother is released.

Anonymous

at 5:50 9/9/2005

ill wait for benchmarks then decide between 7800 and r520.
im not stupid like some of you and just buy a card simply because its made by nvidia/ati. I really dont see why people like 'Anonymous at 1:38 9/9/2005' dont seem to realise this - having already decided that the 7800 is better without even seeing what ati has.

Just so you look a fool i hope the ati card beats the hell out of the 7800

Akward design.. and that hook really does resemble agp 8x. I saved the pic and took a closer look. the f**kin things crooked, color distortions on the "pins" on the left of the picture. the pin line up on the board itself for "pci express" are f**kin crooked and in shambles. the parts look super imposed, they dont even seem to grip the board like at all. this pic looks in my opinion thuroughly fake.

who is telling the truth???

Anandtech, Hardocp, Guru3d and Megagames all have different spec's and ideas of what this ATI card will be.

Megagames believe that these spec's belong to the RV520 (ATI flag ship) while Anandtech says it is for ATI's mid level RV530. who is right?

all i do know is that this card will be out by the end of this month and then we will know if this will be a RV520 (code name x1800) or the RV530 (code name x1600).
