RV770 more powerful than every console from every generation combined.(56k)

No material for painballz to work with so I'll post it :P

Chip maker AMD has invested heavily into hyperbole research, proudly proclaiming that its new graphics chip, the RV770, is "more powerful than every generation of video game console ever brought to market combined." The RV770, demoed Monday, is capable of processing one trillion floating operations per second on a single chip, a feat that AMD says "punches a sizeable hole in the sensory barrier."

In short, that means things will look prettier and more realistic, giving game creators nearly limitless depths of brown to explore, with space marine armor achieving nearly unimaginable levels of detail.

AMD has a brief tech demo that show off the RV770 at its official site, featuring a DOG from Half-Life 2 clone chasing graphics card mascot Ruby. You'll probably find it as rewarding as the corporate promise of "Cinema 2.0." That's definitely gonna catch on.

Get's cheaper after release, will have a low-end and high-end model, low-end model will still outperform your console by a ridiculous exponential value, current cards which cost between a quarter and half of your favorite console still outperform it significantly.....

so on and so forth.

The cheaper HD4xxx uses cores RV710. The cheapest RV770 is believed to cost 249, which is still an amazing entry price for this kind of high quality hardware.

Dang, but I guess $50 won't hurt

great news, no if they can just fix their broken flagship, phenom procs, we'd all be one happy family.. but this seriously though, it would be great if this thing could ship under $300. bulletwitch1

the AMD HD4850 will be $250 while the AMD HD4870 will clock in at $300.

Nope: 4850= 199$; 4870= 279$

Also, someone wanted to know when it released? Its already out. Came out today actually and is priced at $199.

*Note, the more powerful brethern, the HD 4870 comes out July 8th and will be $279Pro_wrestler

Meh, not much different than any other site, I'll wait for HardOCP before I decide anything. General conclusion is that its about = to 9800GTX.

I cant wait to see the 4870, price vs watt ratio, ATI is slapping Nvidia all over.

HAHA, yeah in the mainstream GPU sector they are tea bagging Nvidia to hell..though Nvidia still controls the enthusiast sector.
