New ATI video card

does anyone have any info on the new ati video card comming out soon... i have seen the reviews on the new nvidia one and it looks pritty sweet with 16pipelines but the ati one i am sure is going to be better .... anyone who has info on it or a website that would be awsome thanks

 

anandtech is your friend.

The early word is that the NV40's are honest-to-goodness Radeon killers. nVidia MAY be taking back the crown.



Personally, I just buy whatever is best at the moment (price is an issue too), and smile. My last purchase was a Sapphire Radeon 9800 PRO to replace my aging (and well loved) GF4ti4600.

Being a fanboy of either company can seriously hamper your enjoyment of THE GAMES, man, THE GAMES! (Note: the 'fanboy thing' only applies to vid cards, mobos, hdd's, ram, etc. Processors are exempt cuz AMD > * )

 

O sweet, thanks

 

is it an entirely different setup from the current models, or just an update.

 

From what I surmise, the R420 and the NV40 are "new" architectures, and not just speed bumps to existing proc'ys.

Think I'll go pre-order Doom 3 now.
