Already the least likely day AMD opanuje ‘graphic crisis for the new family of cards whose first task will fill a gap that was created between Radeonami HD 2600 and HD 2900. ATI engineers designed a series of agreements – RV670, followed by a succession R680 and R700 – which have a chance to heal button is now not in the best position to the market.

After the average results of Radeon HD 2600 XT and 8600 GT GeForce’ów was now almost certain that as the bare minimum for games using DirectX 10 you will need to indicate approximately 1,000 worth of gold GeForce’a 8800 GTS. In the end, Crysis and Hellgate are just around the corner, and Call of Juarez, Lost Planet and World in Conflict up to store shelves. People need therefore reasonably measured card, which will be able to enjoy smooth graphics, or PC as a gaming machine to go away to the junk objects.

Everything indicates that the 55 nm production process, the new system will satisfy the standard Pixel clock with one-slotowym cooling, and only extreme configurations will require a larger heatsink.
RV670 transition to 55 nm diet so it came to health. The new processor has, inter alia, to dump more than 100! watts of the TDP. Fastest version of RV670 will pochłaniała In about 120 less than the best cards based on R600.
The new arrangement will be structured similarly to its predecessor and will retain all 320 superskalarnych units cieniujących. Improve, which is worth mentioning that we change with Shader Model 4 to 4.1 (a cheap marketing gimmick irrelevant to users), and the use of przyjaźniejszego priced 256-bit memory controller. The latter change is so significant that one of the bolączek R600 was prohibitive cost of PCB. The solution will allow ATI to submit new Radeony on the plates PCB very similar to those from the X1950, which priced RV670 will be rather wide “with the average shelves.”
You can expect that retail prices of new cards will be oscylowały between 700 and 900 gold. It is, that there are also strong following versions for around 650

Manufacturers cards based on RV670 will put on each package after a few stickers provide information about compatibility with DirectX 10.1, but that does not support the streamlined version microsoftowskiego standard will be a major benefit of the new processor. RV670 will provide zwyczajnemu you a decent performance in recent games, and at podkręceniu all details to the maximum.
If the power of one card will prove to be insufficient, it will be a combination of two, three or even four copies on a single motherboard. If in addition we take into account that the four RV670 will be borne by the system to a lesser extent than two Radeony HD 2900 XT, you’ll see mad easily progress from present generation of cards.

As for the name of the new Radeon market, you are officially still do not know. Most likely, however, they will be marked with the symbols HD 2950 GT, Pro and XT. The decision on naming is a matter for marketers AMD, and some Far East sources report that has not yet been a final choice.

Prime Minister RV670 will be all the more curious that the most likely for the first time the card is equipped with weaker (256-bit) memory controller faster than it would be better equipped (in a 512-bit controller) by his predecessor – at least in some tests. The new Radeon is reportedly particularly well presented in games that use more complex shadery. On the other hand, it is expected that the HD 2900 XT zdystansuje zdystansuje RV670 tested in raising a strong emphasis on memory bandwidth – in other words, in FullHD resolutions (1920×1200) and XHD (2560×1600). You might note, however, that AMD plans to encourage members, which depends on maximum image quality, to purchase configurations with more than one card RV670. In the case of devices with a single-slotowym cooling, upchnięcie even four copies in a single computer should not be a major hassle.

For the next six months will be seen in the łamach magazines and websites devoted to topics of computer three big war. November 2007 expires at the sign potyczek G96 and G98 with RV670 with RV635 (55 nm version of HD 2600 XT), while in the first quarter of 2008, both incumbents wytoczą hard work and struggle for dominance will start between the G92 and R680.
