TG Daily Exclusive – We previously published several details about AMD’s next-generation graphics card lineup and as we get closer to the launch we are getting more details about the launch date, feature set and prices. The good news: The new boards will come with “physics processing capability” and prices that will start below $200 for a 512 MB board. The bad news: The 4800 series will launch after Nvidia’s GT200.

Yes, we know, we previously said that the 4800 series would launch in May, but as it stands right now, we won’t be seeing the first new cards until mid-June. According To AMD’s current introduction schedule, the Radeon 4800 series will launch in week 25, which puts the day of the introduction somewhere between June 15 and June 22. What is significant about this time frame is that ATI will trail Nvidia and their new high-end chip GT200.

Wow...it seems like it worth to wait for the new better card and new features physics processing capability.

The graphics cards are the only components that hold me back from getting a new computer right now. They better hurry up and release them!

Yup, I'm putting money in teh bank for this...

don't hold your breath for anything big to come from the physics processing. companies have been talking about that for years without actually delivering much.

This time I'll let both the R770XT and the GT200 be launched and review first before making a decision.


Anyone for a 3870X2?

Buying or selling? If buying, I have two.

I bought the 3870x2 before it was officially launched. CF-X was promised, but only delivered to the Vista platform. So like you, I would probably wait after more reviews are available... for either AMD or Nvidia latest cards.

Selling of course, bro.

3870X2 sounded sexy until I owned one. I just feel that the card is somehow "not enough" for me. I crave more performance than this. Better framerates with AA, AF, etc etc...
