AMD ATI RV770 CINEMA 2.0 scorpion realtime demo leaked

no cg, Cinema 2.0 means The scorpion platform (phenom, rv770 crossfired, and amd 790GX chipset with hypertransport 3.0)

Yes, nVIDIA can make a gtx280 x2,but only by using a double pcb which drives costs 40%+ (512bit) compared to ATI that using a single pcb, only has to pay for the chip and better capacitors all at retail for $450 aprox, pay double and still get 2 4870 x2 crossfired at gtx280 x2 price point. Dont even think that nVIDIAs dual gpu will sell for less than $800.

At most, 94 nVIDIA GT200 572mm2 die chips can be produced on a single 300mm $25000 wafer from TSMC (their outsourced world biggest chip foundry) using 65nm process, ATI gets 200+ 260mm2 4870 chips from TSMCs 300mm wafer using 55nm process, thats why nVIDIAs latest cards are so expensive, due to monstrous chip size. So you get doa at least from 7 of those 94, while ATI gets 7 dead out of 200.The result: ATI have created the new 9700 = stellar next gen performance for the masses while nVIDIA sells stellar old chips with massive discount, which helps competition but hurts in the long term when costumers realize how easily you can discount a recently launched product (-$100 9800gtx).

About next gen stuff anything that CUDA supports like Photoshop, has already been accelerated by ATI, then add INTELs HAVOK licenced physics which out numbers nVIDIAs AGEIA game support 5 to 1 (150 vs 28 ). For the record I dumped my 3870 for 2 lovely 8800gt. Ive sold the GTs and got 2 4850 with discount at newegg for $170 each.

6 years after, once again ATI won the war by reconfiguring the rules, mainstream can play at high settings at any cyber cafe while the high end gets to play in 24" lcds and laugh but alone with 3 way gtx280 sli.

5870 = 2.72 TeraFlops

PC > Console

[ValiumMm8]

PS3 = 218 GigaFlops of processing power

4870 = 1.2 TeraFlops of processing power

thats just a mainstream card now,

Consoles suck

@imyourvibrator You must not play very many games at all.

@youtubronly321 You are dissing the people who use graphics cards for innovations in medicine, product design, movie production, etc. Most everything you use was probably designed in a CAD program before it was produced. So, before you hate on the people who care about the computer hardware they are using, think about how much that hardware has changed your world.

@bobalazs

correction, its 4850 not 4580

[bobalazs]

@ValiumMm8 4580 = 1 Teraflops of processing power

you forgot that.

Here's what I want to know... why is there discussion about video cards on a video of a scorpion in its cage? Doesn't seem like a tech demo so much as normal video footage of somebody's room. :-p

[youtubronly321]

pc noobs are no-lives. i could give a fuck about tetraflops, gpu blah blah blah there just FUCKEN games. go get a girl, get laid and have a life. just pathetic seeing idiots waste their life on visuals. i only play video games to kill time, while most here are social outcasts

@imyourvibrator flops matter. With my 4850 I can play Crysis with all graphics settings at "very high" and Antialiasing filtering,while Crysis can't run in consoles even at "very low" settings.
