ATI PCI-Express Devices Revealed

Posted by Hemos on from the building-towards-the-future dept.

JohnQ writes "According to Xbitlabs and AnandTech, the specifications for ATI's newest graphics cards have been revealed. Interesting to note is that all of these next generation video cards will run exclusively on the PEG (PCI-Express x16) interface. This does not bode well for those of us who just paid top dollar for the last generation of AGP cards. Read more about the roadmaps on Anandtech and Xbitlabs"

    Should have gone NVIDIA then my friend.

    Ok so you got to sell your soul and taint your kernel (big deal) but I got GLXGears clocking up 3500 fps (well thats what it says) on my Ti4200/XP2000 set up and I even play my Playstation 2 on my monitor via the TV-in

    This is why my next card will be an Nvidia (5950 Ultra, buying next week), because I dont want to gamble on ATI releasing drivers in the next year or so (which is probably the timescale that the 5950 will be replaced from the Wintendo XP gaming box).
