I just noticed something

Quote:
Performance Improvement of 3X Over Radeon X800 XT
So if the X800 XT can get 70 fps on FarCry on 1280 x 1024, we can expect 210 fps with this card?

No. That's an extreme overstatement, I can promise you. 8 extra pipes and ~150 Mhz faster core clock does not equate to 3 times the performance. Plus, by this point, Video Cards are being bottlenecked by processors anyway, since most games aren't completely GPU reliant.

In less-depressing news, I got a job for an online business (which sells non-electronic games, of all things!) which has taught me a lot about marketing online and all that jazz.

So now I'm on Twitter @NoahWright.
And I write the blog for their website.

Plus I do cool programming in-house that you'll never see. =O

Well, except not really. See, multicore processors are going to bring Intel to the same level as AMD as far as efficiency. Only problem is that since they've been ramping the hell out of their clock speed and nothing else for the past couple years, AMD still has a lot of leg room to pump out faster processors. Meanwhile, Intel's multicore and Cell processors are going to solve the issue of clock speed, but with it's horrible memory bandwidth problems they're not going to be getting significantly faster anytime soon either. So while AMD is taking their time and whoring profits and Intel scrambles for a cure, ATI and nVIdia will quietly continue to make their boards better and faster. Finally, games aren't even utilizing the full GPU capacity of cards nowadays. I mean, look at SLI. Some of the benchmarks on an SLI'd game vs a single card are astounding, and show up to a 30-40 frame increase. However, others show minimal increases, or none at all. And even the ones that improved only show gains worth the second card when run at superhigh resolutions with everything maxed out. Most games just aren't that scalable, sadly, so they have to make it run for the middleman- even more specifically, the low end user, which is the majority of the market.

I think my head just imploded from the complexity of what Anti just said.

Can I have a translation of that for nooblets like me?

No. Even if it was translated, you still wouldn't get what we were talking about.

If by more efficient you mean that they are 64 bit while Pentium still isnt, they are going to go 64 aswell, while multicore and cell processors will surely bring them ahead unless AMD does the same. I've not heard of Pentium's memory bandwith problems, whats this?

I don't think video cards are going to giantly leap ahead of CPUs. PCI Express recently rolled around and with a top of the line duel GPU Radeon run on this huge new bus had a variety of games fps preformance increase =<10fps while costing an insane amount more.

I think cell processors are going to leap CPUs ahead, expecially as the PS3 is going to have this next year and the entire console is shooting for a price range around 400 dollars while the performance increases of the CPU is very significant.
