Wow, that's in five days, i hope it comes out soon, cause then the prices for the X1800XT and X1800XL will drop. That's what i'm really after, not the X1900, but the X1800 series when teh price drops.Originally posted by [DC]M4guy624Comment

Re: Official release date of X1900/7900
actualy the x1900 series has no pipes, it are pixelprocessors , it they say it has 48 of them .
But don't stare only at the pipes or whatever please, if you have 100 pipes in your card, and one pipe can do like 8000 calculations a sec , and you have another card who has only 10 pipes but it can do 100000 calculations a pipe, well guess who is the fastest card ?? hope you get what I mean, it doesn't mean the card has 48 pipes or whatever , that it will be like 3 times faster then the curent 16 pipes cardComment

Re: Official release date of X1900/7900
"The R580 has 48 pixel shader processors, 8 or more vertex processors and works at high clock-speeds. The chip, however, is expected to have 16 texture mapping units (TMU), less that could be expected. The product is to support Shader Model 3.0, ring-bus memory controller that supports GDDR4 memory type and other innovations."Originally posted by cloaker
I think that since the 7900 will be released later it's bound to be better. It seems whoever comes out last has the upper hand of being able to tweak their card to beat the competitior.Comment

Re: Official release date of X1900/7900
Ok, to end this BS once and for all; THE X1900XT ONLY HAS 16 PIPELINES. Kthx.
48 pixel processors != 48 pipelines.Comment
