Title: ATI-ATON!!!!1111
Post by: wandering on October 04, 2005, 08:14:37 AM
So, there's a countdown at ATI's website.

Currently 19 hours and 48 minutes remain until.....something (ATI's one clue:"d/t =v" (distance/time = velocity)).

ATI makes chips for Nintendo.

...Could this, in fact, be a countdown to a major REV-related unveiling?

Logic says no, but desperate Nintendo fanboys say yes.

From the clue, I'd guess they're incorporating some sort of physics into their next card.

Or maybe their next card is just called Velocity.

I don't know how correct this is, but maybe the are announcing an ATI PPU? The one that will be in the Revolution...?

Maybe a PPU, maybe finally the R520.

I believe they're launching R520 hardware tomorrow. SOME seem to think the Rev will be based on this hardware, but there's no direct connection to tomorrow.

It's all about their new video-card series, the X1000 or X1K series.

well whatever were getting as far as graphics go probably isnt going to be top of the line, on the other hand that doesn't mean it will be bad.

You mean for the NRS? Or the X1800? Btw, check the X1800 specs: http://www.ati.com/products/RadeonX1800/specs.html . Also, if anyone gets to read the little info on that video demo with "Ruby" fighting the "Assasin", please refrain from drooling so much on the number of polys a character had, for those that are too lazy to look the number of polys: 120000, yeah 120K.
