VR-Zone has learned that the official marketing name for R600 will be Radeon X2900 series and we will start using the name from now on. We can expect AMD to launch Radeon X2900XTX and XT first while X2900XL will follow later. The recent leaked R6xx series chart with pricing contains lots of false information is all we can say. RV610 and RV630 are 65nm and RV610 has 64-bit memory interface.

Among other things we can confirm right now; R600 is 80nm, contains 700M transistors and has 512-bit memory interface. X2900 requires 2 supplemental power connector from the PSU, one 8-pin and one 6-pin but you are able to plug in the 6-pin power cable into the 8-pin connector. The targeted driver release version for X2900 series is Catalyst 8.35.1. Systems with X2900XTX cards and tech demos will be at CeBIT but inside a private room for the privileged only.

ha ha, I am interested in the x1950pro instead, 8800 too expensive for me liao and my psu also cannot drive it moreover no intention to use vista for the next 2~3 yrs.

thats good then. but at least or maybe there will be a version of R600 that matches x1950 price so just dont hurry up and buy it just wait and let us see.

I don't think will match, due to dx10, the R5xx price I expect will drop quite fast.

it all depends on how much you are willing to spend thats all. if you see that at that time when prices go down and the x1950 goes less and fits your budget then go for it.

I don't believe you'd have any problem, it really depends on how much juice you have on the +12v rail though. I'd recently upgraded my PSU so Im R600 ready with my 4x 6pin + 2x 8pin PSU, R600.....here I come!!!

If one is enough to power a 30 incher :d.
Otherwise two .

Iirc,someone in this forum uses a CM E.P 430w to handle his/her 8800 and a oced athlon 3500+.so 700w can handle that..
under-powered PSU?
