Its time has come

AFTER a massive delay supplying RV560 chips, the graphics semiconductor's day of glory will soon arrive.

Just two weeks after RV570, used in Radeon X1950 Pro cards, ATI plans to unveil a mainstream card. The new card was delayed because of problems with drivers, but is now fixed for the 30th of October launch. That's Halloween, or the evening before All Hallows on the 1st of November.

Partners are not as thrilled about this product as everyone is sceptical about its final performance. This card should fight Nvidia in the sub $200 market and is based on a 80 nanometre process and has a bunch of pixel shaders. µ
