HD 4860/4890 suits the best guesswork, though it's not known about the naming as of now.

the reason there gpu's are out performed is cause of the 256 bit mem controller . and the nvidia 260 - 448 bit or somthing and 280 gtx has 500 bit i think.

imagine a 4870 WITH A 500 BIT MEMORY INTERFACE it would be crazy fast , + 200 GB/s .

448/512-bit, yes, but that's a pretty major redesign you're talking right there, and wouldn't be real likely until the RV870 generation. Plus with the GDDR5 advantage going for ATi right now, that's not an overly necessary modification to make. Of course by the same token, they have all the more to gain by going to a wider bus... In any case, more than likely we'll just see higher clock speeds, some price drops, and maybe GDDR5 standard on the high-end.

Keep in mind, if this generation has taught us anything it's that a company doesn't need to have the fastest card out there, they just need to maintain the best price to performance ratio on the market. Having the fastest card always helps, but hey, there's always CrossFire =D

a Minor Improvement, sort of like the R300 Gen, should be a good set of cards and possibly different cooling designs coming down the pipeline

I'm really excited for the new NV cards :).

I wish AMD/ATI would use their old naming scheme where numbers were in increments of either 100 or 50. Like x1900xt, x1950xt, etc. If they at least keep their current xx50 and xx70 scheme and don't add any other increments, I'll be happy, cuz at least it makes sense to use xx70 due to RV770. idk, just stupid little things that bother me, plus I'm tired :ohwell:

In any case, I look forward to some very competitive pricing this xmas :toast:

I actually doubt we'll see RV790 this year. Latest news about GT200b talk about yet another delay - to February 09 (the inquirer). So probably RV790 cards will come out then (or whenever NV cards do), they don't want to compete against their own cards now :).

Probably after the GT200b release just to attract some attention away. =P

Yes, most likely.

Hmm, interesting. From X19xx to HD29xx to HD 38xx and 48xx. That naming convention leaves room for a 39xx and 49xx series. Only a 39xx made no sense since ATI was getting deeply pwned by NVIDIA so they had to jump straight to 48xx. Perhaps that's where the whole shader miscount came from? Perhaps on an EARLY ROADMAP there was a 39xx with 480 shaders after all.

Nope I don't think so. I saw many partners advertising the HD4xxx cards in their sites with 480 SPs until the launch day, one day earlier in fact. After that they corrected it the launch day. IMO there's no way they could get confused in that manner and only knew the true number the launch day. It was simply a distraction move by Ati.

Something close to that happened with the Radeon HD 4830. At first it was 480 SP / 192bit mem, then 480 SP / 256bit mem, finally 640 SP / 256bit.

I actually doubt we'll see RV790 this year. Latest news about GT200b talk about yet another delay - to February 09 (the inquirer). So probably RV790 cards will come out then (or whenever NV cards do), they don't want to compete against their own cards now :).

Whenever that does come out, this does. It's just that AMD doesn't want to be thrown way back by a GTX 270/290 and the subsequent GX2. So it could respond with RV790, RV790 X2, sideport enabled X2 boards (though gains (of sideport for X2) are predicted to be insignificant ATM).

Is their any word from IHV's about this? From what I've seen in the past from NVIDIA and ATI that we will not see any new cards for the rest of the year. With how the economy is, I can't really see NVIDIA and ATI rush a card out with minor improvements. Especially from ATI. ATI hasn't really made any noise on the 4850X2 at all.

ATI has to concentrate more on "wattage concerns" more then trying to add a couple of more frames to the mix. They already own the "single card" crown.

NVIDIA is in a state of flux. The conference call with NVIDIA did share some light on an actual revision of the GT200. But we have to understand that their Quarterly's are different then the calendar quarters. I will bet anything that we won't see any new cards until February of next year.

Unless IHV's are saying something otherwise, I don't believe any new card this year. Just look at the track records of both companies. ;)

really???

does any of this bother anyone other than me ?? What is up lately with AMD (ATI) and Nvidia coming out with a new card every month, just to gain tiny amounts of performance?? What happened to generations ??

Yea I wish they would have kept it too. HD 3800's could become X2950XT and X2950PRO and HD 4800's X3950XT and X3950PRO.. Those look alot cooler than HD 3870/HD 4850 to me tbh..

they have been doing this since the Radeon X series and the GF6 series

That is because the 4850X2 is a special card from Sapphire, only sapphire researched the design ideas.

they wanted to devorce the 3800 from the 2900 because the 2900 had such a bad rep due to heat and power consumption, basickly it made sence for them to go up a model in this case, it wasnt just a die shrink, they also improoved the avivo support as well as some other componants.

we shal see how this situation flushes out, i can see a refresh for christmas honestly, just to hopefully catch some quick $ that or some kinda minor price drops again, to get higher sales on the cards for christmas.

my 8800gts 512 is plenty for now, probbly get something 4870 or better eventuly.

Yes. And yes, RV790 is slated to follow GT206/G200b release, though it was intended to stay under the wraps. AMD has been very secretive lately.

ATI has to concentrate more on "wattage concerns" more then trying to add a couple of more frames to the mix. They already own the "single card" crown.

The kind of changes AMD is planning will make sure the GPU runs at high clock speeds while not maintaining the same thermal envelope as what a RV770 would hypothetically have at those speeds.

NVIDIA is in a state of flux. The conference call with NVIDIA did share some light on an actual revision of the GT200. But we have to understand that their Quarterly's are different then the calendar quarters. I will bet anything that we won't see any new cards until February of next year.

NV knows it won't be able to have a greater impact on the market than it's having now, during the crucial Xmas shopping season, and the stakes are extremely high. There is an indication of GT206 launch within this year, as GT206 has already had its share of delays due to shader domain problems.

I'm just curious if they will bring them out this year. So far this is looking like the worse retail shopping in 10 years due to the economy. I honestly would be shocked to see a new offering this year.

If vendors like BFG, XFX, and the likes are the ones talking about it then it could be plausable, but they should start buying up the packages soon (GPU/PCB/MEMORY) If they want to get their cards out on the market for the X-mas season. It takes at least 2 to 3 weeks for design, logo, retail box design, etc... So if they don't have the cards by Thanksgiving, I'm calling a "Nope, not this year" comment. :)

they wanted to devorce the 3800 from the 2900 because the 2900 had such a bad rep due to heat and power consumption, basickly it made sence for them to go up a model in this case, it wasnt just a die shrink, they also improoved the avivo support as well as some other componants.
Not so much Avivo improvement, but the inclusion of an actual UVD, which 2900 doesn't have.

Also, don't forget about the 2900's poor AA performance.

I'm hoping for adjustable shader clocks. I digg the article bta!:toast:

i doubt ati will have adjustable shader clocks any time soon. this would be a HUGE design change.

I wonder how well the new BIOS for these GPUs would work with current R770s :p

i expect rv790 to be drop in compatible with rv770. that means you could unsolder the gpu from a hd 4850/4870, solder on rv790 and the card would work without any other change on hardware or software side.
