Filed under: Desktops, GamingNVIDIA had already heard enough about
AMD's ATI Radeon 4800 series to bump up the launch date for its GeForce
9900 series cards, but TG Daily has now apparently turned up some more
launch details for the mid-to-high-end cards, the first of which is
reportedly now on track for a release in mid-June. That first card will
be the Radeon 4850, codenamed "Makedon," which will boast 512 MB of
GDDR3 memory, single-slot cooling, CrossFireX support, and a price tag
between $189-$219. That'll be followed in July by a pair of Radeon 4870
cards (dubbed "Trojan"), with one boasting 512MB of GDDR5 memory and
the other boasting a full 1024MB, the latter of which will come with a
dual-slot cooler. Look for those to cost between costing between $249
and $279. The whole lot of them will also pack "game physics processing
capability," along with 7.1 channel audio via HDMI support, DirectX
10.1 support, and, as you might have guessed, some pretty heavy power
requirements, with a 450 watt power supply needed for a single card and
550 watts needed for a CrossFire setup. Read | Permalink | Email this |
