ATi's product under developed under codename R590 will launch at the beginning of March for roughly $279. The R590 is effectively the Radeon X1900 core, but at a lower clock speed with some disabled features. Expect to see the card retail as the Radeon X1800 GTO. We believe that these cards will come with 256MB of memory. Radeon X1800 Pro, the R520 ASIC, was a large disappointment for opponents and proponents of ATI alike. R580 was a much better GPU but, like NVIDIA's similar offerings, is very expensive. The $250-300 price point has always been one of the most neglected price points for the GPU market. A year ago, ATI used a very similar tactic by labeling R480 and R423 ASIC as Radeon X800 GTO video cards. Several clever users were able to use BIOS hacks to unlock the disabled pipelines on these cards. This may not be possible with the X1800 GTO as it uses a dedicated R590 ASIC spun specifically for these card models.

 

The same source also indicated that 80nm R600 would be available this October

Moze byc niezle tylko zalezy o ile obniza zegary i co zablokuja bo cena ok 1000zl brzmi zachecajaco.

Hm, jakby to bylo porównywalne od 1800XL i tańsze od jego obecnej ceny to będzie to karta na miarę X800GTO ... mam nadzieję

Karta wydajnością bedzie pomiedzy X1800XL, a X1800XT, czyli ma sie stac konkurentem dla GF7800GT cenowo, pogloski mowia o 12 ROP, TMU i 36 PS i 6 VS(takty 450/1000 GDDR3 256bit).To zupelnie odrebny uklad choc podobny do R580 ale fizycznie "wykastrowany" z jednostek, wiec na moda niema szans. Wprowadzony bedzie tez X1900XL z 256 MB na pokladzie jako konkurent dla GF7900GT w cenie ok 350-400$. Wspomniane karty beda w 90nm. Pozna jesienia nowa linia kart opartych o 80nm z serii R6xx. Nie jest pewne czy wiosna/latem nie pojawia sie chipy R5xx w 80nm.
