PICS HAVE TIPPED UP on the interwibble of the upcoming DAAMIT Radeon HD 2600 XT.
The chaps at OCW have translated the pics, nabbed by Chinese-language site PCInLife, and uploaded the data. The original Chinese author suggests that the card is 65nm, has 256MB of GDDR4 and doesn't have an external power connector, with a maximum power draw of 80W. sounds pretty impressive.
The card appears to have a single-slot cooler, and the board is a decidedly average size for a graphics card, suggesting that this could be a good mainstream purchase. A chunky heatsink covers the vast majority of the board, extending over the RAM and the VRMs. The card looks like it has dual DVI outputs.
Due for release at some point in the next few weeks, the 2600 is part of ATI's 'top to bottom' launch of the R6x0 based parts. Those reviewers that sign NDAs are off to Tunisia next week to spend some time getting acquainted with the new technology under the watchful eye of DAAMIT's PR Benchmarketeers, so expect the steady dribble of information about the technology to turn into a burst pipe, drenching the webble with wibble about the cards.
China site, pcinlife has leaked a series of pictures of the upcoming card Radeon HD2600XT.
According to the author, it is saiid that the board uses 256MB of GDDR4. The 65nm manufacturing process GPU comes with a BIOS dated Apr 4th. Max wattage is 80W or lower. There is no additional power connector unlike the NVIDIA 8600GTS. In one of the 1080P video tests, cpu utilisation is lower than 5% on the average. That is amazing.
Just saw some early benchmarks at TechOne | HDTV
