ATi-are you ready for more.

hehe. They are probably like "Are u ready?" psst "to die nV"

omg... ATI really has come along way with their DX9 cards...

now let see... An ATI 9800 Triple-Head will be nice

come on matrox... sell ur technologies

o yea... looks like every chip that receives big hypes are letting people down. so let's speculate specs

0.13 micron (nay seems like TSMC and UMC are having some problems with it... but hey it's speculation hehe)
DDRII memory interface (probably not either...)
~400MHz Core
~500MHz Mem
Pixel Shaders 2.0+
Vertex SHaders 2.0+
GFFX Killer (That i am pretty sure about)

me wants OGL 2.0... hehe

will still be 0.15 micron, 375 chip 350 mem, redesigned 9700, nothing more, but supposed to be 40% faster

LOL. nothing more, but 40% faster

I say their DX9 cores are very well designed.

[fanATIc_tone]imagine a 9800 pro breaking the 10000 3dmarks barrier...[/fanATIC_tone]

after all, its just a redesign, not a completely new chip, so what do you expect? and after the fx, i cant blame them for staying with .15 for the moment

i think their new budget cards are .13 though, with 400mhz chip and mem clock
