ATI HD 6000 ''Southern Islands'' Graphics Card November !

Come this Winter, and things will heat up once again in the graphics card industry, with GPU vendors battling it out for the crucial Holidays shopping season. While AMD did not introduce any new GPUs after completing its ATI Radeon HD 5000 series launch itinerary, it did manage to grab significant amount of sales from its graphics rival NVIDIA. For this Winter, AMD and its partners will be in a position to launch the ATI Radeon HD 6000 series graphics processors, according to DigiTimes, citing sources from graphics card vendors.

It is also said that the Radeon HD 6000 series, codenamed "Southern Islands" (members of which are codenamed after islands in the Mediterranean Sea), will be built on TSMC's 40 nm manufacturing process. AMD had originally planned to build Southern Islands on TSMC's 32 nm process, but with the foundry skipping 32 nm bulk for 28 nm which will start operations only by the end of the year, AMD redrew its plans and stuck to the now-mature (stable) 40 nm process. Perhaps AMD learned a thing or two from a wide range of teething problems that plagued the 40 nm production line.

6870 will be in my rig wohooo Shocked

good news 6770 should be as powerfull as 480 or mroe powerful and use less then twice electricity

i am waiting for 6850, reson there is no new gpu in my next build =))

hope nvidia brings something good to table for competition, and pulls prices down.

400 series have raw power but heating + electric consumption turns them into bad cards, or maybe a drive to push their fans spin faster can save the day for nvidia, but seeing how 5850 is equal to 47 and 4870 and 480 are pretty close, 6000 series will own.

ATi all the way, if only they found a way for physix seeing a cheap nvidia gets better fps than a 5870 on physix games Sad

no theres nothing special from nvidia this year maybe 1 card with two 460 inside it. thats it no new cards as theres no silicon 1 yet and it takes 4 ~ 6 moths to tape out them.

about phisx its shit. nvidia pay developers to implement it

you can actually use 2 cards, 1 ATi bcs you are a real man and one nvidia bcs game developers are fags.

nvidia only does the physix and ATi handles the rest with absolute coolness -pun intended-, i gotta learn how to do it
