ATI-ATON!!!!1111
« 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.
“...there are those who would...say, '...If I could just not have to work everyday...that would be the most wonderful life in the world.' They don't know life. Because what makes life mean something is purpose.  The battle. The struggle.  Even if you don't win it.” - Richard M. Nixon

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.

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.
"wow."

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.
