Radeon HD 2900XT Slide

Today hardware forum CHIPHELL bring us a Radeon HD 2900XT slide. Please pay attention to the number of texture units. It's certainly 16 units. But I don't think texture units will play a vip role in latest pc games, such as Rainbow Six: Vegas and so on. Anyway R600 use a damn good 4:1 architecture compared with 3:1 in R580 series.

CAPCOM DX10 Title: Lost Planet Tries Out

The editors in pcgames.de have a chance to try out the dx10 title “Lost Planet” with 2 demo levels.

The try out run on Windows Vista with DirectX 10 API, Athlon 64 5000+, 2GB ram. Because there’s no ATI DX10 graphic card, they used a GeForce 8800GTX graphic card for the try out. Lost Planet demo runs on 1280x1024 resolutions with 4xFSAA. Despite of some furious fighting scenes, they estimated the average speed is at 25fps.

CAPCOM will release DX9 and DX10 demo of Lost Planet in May. The retail version of Lost Planet will show up at June, or maybe delayed to July due to the difficulty of dev DX10 version of Lost Planet.

R700 Starts

Heard from an anonymous source close to ATI, ATI now begins to design R700 graphic chip. Does this mean R650 is simply a 65nm refresh of R600 and ATI canceled R680? Anyway, I bet R700 still a 65nm product and will show up 1 year later from now on.
