HD4830 SUCKS, i mean 128-bit is first. Then GDDR3. WHT is AMD planning.

And shouldn't it have been HD47xx series instead?


Last thing what I feel.
RV740 has GDDR5, 640 SPs!!!!!, but a PATHETIC 128-bit memory connection!!!

I mean what was AMD thinking. Okay, they could have increased the price from 99$ to 119$ too no problem, but 256-bit should have been there. Then this card would beat the hell out of GTS 250 too. And the lower end RV740 will have 128-bit + GDDR3 I mean What the F***!!!!!!!!!!

yes.

It looks like nVidia has an advantage here :)

but in terms of Gflops, AMD cards are well ahead when compared to nvidia cards. Let's wait and see

these cards are very good for mobile standards.don't think we'll find it any lappy below 80k

I think they will find their way into 60k Dell XPS laptops and MSI gaming laptops.

Hopefully they will, but their TDP will be far lower, good for AMD there.
