The New ATI GPU: RV770
Hey guys, Icarus here. I noticed I don’t talk much about what tricks ATI has up their sleeve, so I’m going to talk about some of their new stuff that they’re going to release in the next few months.
Now, don’t get me wrong. I’m not an nVidia fanboy. I actually love the ATI 3870- it just has awesome price/performance ratio. If you want to get one, here’s a link to one I personally favor:
GIGABYTE Radeon HD 3870 512MB 256bit GDDR3 PCI-Express 2.0 HDCP & CrossFire Ready Video Card Retail GV-RX387512H
Also known as the RV770, the Radeon 4800 series will come out with the first 2 of the series, the Radeon 4850 and Radeon 4870. According to PureOverclock, both GPU’s will feature GDDR5(no, you’re not seeing things), ranging anywhere from 256MB to 1024MB of it. The 4850 will also feature an 800Mhz+ core speed(not determined yet), while the 4870 will feature 1GHz core speed. Both cards will be mass produced as soon as it is released.
This is starting to look very promising for ATI. Afeter NVidia’s failure to create the 9800GTX as the top of the hill GPU, ATI now has a chance to take away the crown from the 9800GTX as the 8800GTX killer. Not only will the 4850 and 4870 be released in May and before the next 9900 series nVidia GPU’s, its previous success in the ATI 3870 GPU shows quite a large chance for ATI to take away the crown from NVidia. This will be quite an anxious and exciting time for ATI and NVidia fans alike.
Well, that’s all for tonight. Have a nice weekend!
