Meet AMD's 65nm R600 - the R650

R600 is going to be more affordable than any GPU part after Radeon 9700Pro and 9800Pro. AMD wants to undercut current high-end price bracket by $100-150, so expect an 8800GTX performing part for the price of 8800GTS. This is not all.

happy happy, joy joy?

still, wouldn't be good enough for me to justify an upgrade over my 512MB x1800XT

Well that was a distinctly positive article? Anyone care to go out on a limb and say 1ghz core clocks on higher-end R650's?

Oh, it's "good enough" for me... I need at least a 512mb card for this size monitor, one that runs Folding@Home like there is no tomorrow, and finally it will put my watercooling setup to some real use. Nothing quite like getting almost 2,000 PPD from a single computer...
