9700pro with ddr II..it´s real ;)

Radeon 9700 DDR II on Tech TV - 9:54 am EST - MrB
An ATI rep was on TechTV last night and he brought along a nice new toy out of ATI's labs, a Radeon 9700 with DDR II ram. I didn't catch it but McTurok from the forums wrote a good summary.

It wasn't really a "HUGH" interview about the "new" ATI Radeon 9700 Pro with DDRII memory.
It was basically to talk about DDRII memory and describe how it works and functions on/with a video card, etc.

However, I will restate this again. The ATi guy had in hand a ATi Radeon 9700 Pro with DDRII memory "fresh from the labs" he said.

They did show a screen with the DDRII card running next to another card (9700 Pro DDR RAM???) I'm not sure. There was a lot more detail with the DDRII card. Again I'm not sure what the other card was, they didn't say.

Nothing was mentioned about a release of the DDRII card or anything. I think the ATi guy wanted to talk about it more but he got pushed/cut off a bit by Leo the host. Got to keep it on topic I guess.

The card that was on the show was only 128 MB of DDR II memory.

Basically what he was outlining on the show was that DDR II is the same thing as DDR memory just that fact they have tweaked the inside of the DDR to make the clock cycle much fasters. Therefore they can raise the clock speeds of the GPU and RAM to get more data through the card, improving FPS, and image quality and detail.

He also said that "they" (ATi, I'm guessing) thinks they can get over 550 Mhz or greater out of DDR II.

w00t!

wieviel willst für deine R9700pro?

lol

yeah woooot

ATI ownz

naja vor allem wird auch interessant, dass damit die mobile variante net so an hohen takt braucht wie bei alter DDR technologie ;D

da muss nvidia schon ordentlich nachziehen, wenns mithalten wollen

ähm
nvidia verwendet beim nv30 auch ddr2
aber ich glaub kaum das die radeon mit ddr2 256 bittigen speicher hat
dann kann sich die glaub ich keiner leisten ...

Stimmt.....hab heute n Mail bekommen das 2 Wochen nach dem NV30 128 Bit Launch ne 256 Bit foögen soll...is dann abr ne profikarte um ca. 1000€....also nix für usn normalsterbliche..

T O M B M A N !

He's copming, he's coming - he's here have no fear !

Geld is doch nur "Geld" fürn Tombi.....

Wenn den was reizt dann gibts keine Hindernisse....

wenn es überhaupt so eine karte geben wird
