ati teh sux


/start flaming

gerv quit the interweb

ps:

“When allocating products, we prioritize our partners first followed by our own ati.com store. When we have a product that is highly sought after, like the RADEON X850 XT, this can cause a delay in shipping product out to our ati.com customers,” said Patricia Mikula, a spokeswoman for ATI, in an interview with X-bit labs.

Yeh same here. spank:

ATI needs to get their act together. Their engineers make some damn good cards but their manufacturing is horrible. Two generations in a row of paper launches. The X850 was supposed to have much higher yeilds because of the new core, but they still couldn't get them out.

ditto.

They have them in stock, which coincidently is where i get my boards from. The x850 is a lot more available than the xt-pe or the 6800ultra was at launch. The last launches of x800 and 6800 was a joke because of the paper launches.

The x850 isn't really a new core either its an overhauled r-420 core which in turn was an overhauled r-360 core. The r-520 is again gonna be an overhauled core of the x850 which i believe is the r-480. All theyre doing is shrinking the die size and adding new features. Its still plenty fast for todays games, the new core which is from the ground up is gonna be the r-600 or r-620.

I personally think the x850 was pointless, its meant to increase yields, but at the same time its pci-e only oOo: . Barely anyone has pci-e yet when you compare to the people that have agp. When the new boards launch in may or so i can bet that pci-e will appear first with agp lagging a few months behind to try to get people to migrate to pci-e.

acutally thought gerv made this thread...until I saw tonys name...

p.s gerv you should write essays for ati...but you make people fall asleep while reading them dance:

loney:

PCI-E is new, which is why we are selling the x850 at circuit city for only 200 dollars for fucks sakes. Thats cheap as shit. 256 what is it DDDDDR or some crazy shit like that.

Gddr-3

You sure its being sold for that cheap? x850xt? Thats like £160 or so which is dirt cheap for a top of the line video card, my x800 was like £380 or so, over $500.

Yeah we got it on sale for 200 dollars. eek:

Weird theyre selling it that cheap, then again if you havn't got a pci-e mainboard then you gotta go buy one. I think that boards a waste of time, its 20mhz faster in core speed and 60mhz faster on ram speed. In gaming terms? about 5-10fps over an x800xt-pe in most games, not even noticable.
