    New card looks like it's gonna be using new drivers too!

    If it's not gonna use the regular driver packages, I'd think the chances are good it's not based on Gx00 chipset. Looks like we may finally be getting new hardware!

    sort of logical since the Gx00 series weren't GPU's and the Parhelia is supposed to be a GPU.

      Nice one, John !

      It seems to me that this is a definite confirmation that a card is coming !

      Could you trick him into telling when ?

          Initially, it won't be the same driver package. Perhaps later on, we may do a unified driver but it's still undecided on that.

            Good, I wouldn't have wanted to hear the comments if Haig had said that "since the drivers are 98% binary compatible with the G550 family, support will be included in our unified driver package from day one"

            This probably means that scanning through drivers with a hex editor won't provide too many clues ... damn
