ATI hardly ever bothers with PR before they release something... nvidia wouldn't exist without it. 
But my "friend" keeps saying that the R600 will be well over double the power of the R580... the G80 is about %95 more powerful then an X1900XTX looking at the D3D_9c benchmarks... if they're not BS'd.
As for DirectX 10 performance, ATI is working much closer with Microsoft... and does have the habit of over-engineering their cards with lots of shader power.

Well, what else would ATI be doing with all of that additional time they're spending on the R600?jcll2002 said:
It should be between the size of the X1950XTX and the 8800GT... "a little bigger then the 1950" as he said.watchthisspace said:And hopfully smaller
I tried to bribe my friend to leak me all that he knew... but not even a $100 bill, hard persuasion, and the guarantee of anonymity... I could not force it out of him, and I'm pretty good at those things. If you know what I mean.

I was thinking of getting him drunk... and a stripper... that should work.jcll2002 said:
Or I'll just put a wire on him when he goes to work... but I think ATI's building has somewhat powerful RF shielding.
Whatever works better!
or razorwire.

I'm curious as well. You hear a lot about G80 but nothing about R600.

I bet that on or near the 8800 launch there is a leak, official or not, about r600 architecture details.

Well it will be a toss up til we get more info on the ATI cards. But for released card purpose I'd say the ATI cards will be better then nVidia's offering. Its more suited to the Unified Architecture, besides having 512bit ram (rumor still) that has over 160GB/s through put is nothing to scuff at. Nearly double what nVidia has for memory through put on there coming cards.

I got a little leak... almost nothing...
The r600 will consume about ~15-25% more power then the X1950XTX... the G80 consumes about 10-15% more then an r580. I guess these things will consume as much as perviously estimated.
All Heil Vodka! I have a mild hangover... but someone has a much worse one. Yet that's all I got out of him...
I'm not shure if he lies when he's drunk... oh well, probaly not.
Not much info, but DAAMiT is not leaking much that's for shure, but they will likely have to when the G80 is just being released.
But we can rely on Microsoft to do that for us, they're already leaked(post deleted by M$ on the MSDN forums) that the r600 will be much more efficient at Direct3D 10 then the G80, by how much... we can only guess. But it would be common knowledge that ATi has been working much closer to MS then any other graphics company. *cough* Xbox 360.

AMD/ATi needs to learn about 'leak marketing' from NV and Intel.

I second that notion!
well as of right now the G80 is pretty much unneccesary. I haven't run accross a game which my x1900xt cannot handle quite well. The R600 sounds like the way to go in the DX10 field and it will premiere around when Vista and DX10 are actually in use.
I might be building a system around the e4300 chip (the 200fsb x 9 multi allendale chip - 100% overclock anyone?) and an R600 early next year. The e4300 is supposedly coming in Q1 2007 as well.
