Yes we all know the R420 is going to have both 32bit and 64bit FP support.
And its going to be ~400M transistors with 3TMU 32Pipes.
And its going to be TBDR.

let me guess:

(R420)


- 12x1 (or very, very advanced 8x1 design)
- 24bit FP
- true (and fast) PS3.0/VS3.0 support (maybe even VS4 support)
- worst case: as fast as NV40
- better FSAA und better AF than NV40 (faster and better IQ)
- ~ 550Mhz Core / 550Mhz Ram (1100Mhz effective)

am i close? *g*

with NV40's sporting a new AA/AF unit. It impossible to say right now, who's AA and AF is going to be better or even faster.

We'll just have to wait and see :D

According to The Inq, ATi is already shipping R420 silicon to it's partners.

Eh wot? is that a sarcastic remark? Or just misinformed and damn stupid?

I dunno I think the nvidia AF will be better thenthe ATI AF.
