**KBsmoker** · 11-10-2005

Thanks to Convergys at GAF. ATI time to cry.

Geforce 7800GTX 512 MB to cost $649

**Lefein** · 11-10-2005

THAT is going to bring the pain! I wonder what this will mean for RSX development?

**proof** · 11-10-2005

wow i wish i had that sort of money 2 replace this fx5200, but ma paper round only brings in £20 a week

**gtecartman** · 11-10-2005

just think of that in SLI mode.....

**Lefein** · 11-10-2005

Certainly the RSX will be even more powerful..

Dear lordie! The 360 never stood a chance!

**Stoffinator** · 11-10-2005

So is this good or bad news?

LOL once will be ok, i dont think its either gr8 pc and gr8 ps3, what can go wrong?

**Stoffinator** · 11-10-2005

Well you guys can clean up the posts. Being this error is a pain in the ass.

**SessDMC** · 11-10-2005

the good news is, this is the most powerful graphics card on the market.

Bad news is u triple posted.

**Lefein** · 11-10-2005

The errors have been pretty bad lately..

On topic:

Seeing as how this shares the same parent architecture with the RSX, maybe there is some cool stuff happening with the RSX.. Man, it sure would be nice to hear whats going on over at Sony.

**proof** · 11-10-2005

How much did you pay for this monster? r u suer u can sleep at nite knowing that that thing mite eat u and ur pc?

**Keesie** · 11-10-2005

Well if the RSX will be better then this card!!!!

then the RSX must be superpowerfull

**Nasty Gnasher** · 11-10-2005

u meant wahts going on at vidia , right ?

Anyway, i sure hope if there is a 580Mhz Graphics card already out , then one of the surprises sony has to offer us should include an upgradation of the graphics card frm 500 Mhz to , well, any upscaling would do .

RSX is either equally powerful or more powerful. Here's wishin it'll be MORE powerful.

**Nasty Gnasher** · 11-10-2005

I only edited my post to correct the "N"vidia and it gave me this ... i swear i didnt mean to double post ...
anyway, what has Ati in store for the consumers to keep the battle going ?

**Lefein** · 11-10-2005

Could you imagine if they bump the RSX up to 600Mhz?

On top of that, it will be running GL ES which is a more efficient graphics model!

I sure wouldn't bet unified shader pipelines against a monster like that..

well this card might be more powerful but the ps3 is a closed system with a very powerful processor that can keep up with the GPU. This thing is a beast and i can't wait to get some benchmarks.

**Nasty Gnasher** · 11-10-2005

Well its bound to b more powerful if Nvidia or sony annouced that it'l b the most powerful card in the market when the PS3 is out ...
so if the 7800 is already out .... the RSX is bound 2 b a leap ahead !

**Steroyd** · 11-10-2005

Jeez, when the RSX is out isn't there meant to be a shorter timescale before there's another GPU like it

*starts waiting outside his local gamestore for PS3*

by the way i'm european

**Sypherssj209** · 11-10-2005

The RSX will be more powerfull than that beast! thats so awesome, the PS3 is certainly gonna be one hellova freaky machine, Im gonna be hella carefull opening it and placing it where I want it lol

**Steroyd** · 11-10-2005

ah your talking about the alpha dev kits that has a dual 6800SLI setup, and that would have blew our head off if Nvidia didn't release the 7800GTX.

but it's set my head on nuclear knowing that whatever Nvidia are churning out for PC's right now, the RSX is even more powerful (with helps to it being specific for Cell).

RIP X360

**mudger** · 11-10-2005

huh OMG what the heck?!?

are you serious 580mhz 512 mb?? and the RSX is supposed to be more powerful AND helped by the cell????

whoa, i think killzone might be possible now

my poor xbox360
