well VR-Zone may have a real photo of the OEM R600 board afterall!, only it is kinda blury heh:

these OEM cards are mostly found in Medion, Dell , HP systejms and so on, they have the longer 12" boards, for the retail market the XTX board will only be 9" long, heh what a breather!

It might be a Photoshop of an ATi X1950 XTX heh Grin

heh let's hope that our Voodoo 5 6000's shall still be king in size for gaming cards 8)

well liek I mentioned that is the OEM version the retail version will be alot smaller

remember that the OEM version of the X800 and X800 XL were larger than the retail ones Wink

It's just a cheaper way for production.

VLB looks different. VLB looks like PCI and 8 bits ISA together (both on one board). Not like a PCI-E 16x slot Wink

well I got the info from the Dutch ATi Topic, there are some users in that forum which have very possitive insider info about this card.

that blury picture as they claim is meant to be the OEM version of the R600. probably the X2800 XL, which will be found in OEM suystems like that from Medion, HP, Dell and so on.

Remember that sketch? here a pic of the comparrison of that blury photo and that sketch:

look carefully, it pretty much does look alike it, well not saying it is that real, but may be it is sonce bluring tools could of been added toblur up the photo

It looks clearly like a PCI-E x16 connector no way a Legacy PCI 32Bit connector.

Anywyas When I get better photo's of the real card I will post it here asap ofcourse

Well, my statement was rather Symbolic.

Technically, it looks like the CAD Wireframe/Garaud rendered image was just fully polygon rendered and then blurred to hide that.

It's just nothing a Website would or should put up as 'proof' for a Story. There are better means of yielding good images while still protecting Sources that supply NDA equipment or footage.

Heck, I could photograph a guy out on the street, 25x blur the image and sell it as a spotted Alien doing shopping downtown Wink

hahah yeah you got a good point there, heh that card may be made of clay heh who knows, but yeah, it isn't good enough to state the real evidence Wink

Well something nice comming soon here in The Netherlands

ATi.AMD R600 was in Amsterdam in March
http://uk.theinquirer.net/?article=37407

Heh Amsterdam is just a 180KM drive down the road from where I live, heh just out of town if I have to think in Australian distances Grin

IMHO it will be impossible to break intel's lead in integrated GPU (Chipset) anytime soon...

Considering they have nothing for gaming yet, not of much concern though
(they recently relaunched their GFX department to start stand-alone Video Cards again, however, for the first time since the i740 cards... Looks like they take AMD's competition very seriously)

yeaps, it kinda shocked them a little on that case, but it would take them years to make exellent cards like the X1K class or GF 8.xxx series class cards, ATi as Nvidia have much more experience by making such powerfull Graphics accelerators.
But if they start aiming for the low end segment they might have a nice start, it owuld be cool to see another good GFX brand out there, @ least Intel knows how to make CPU's why not VGA's instead

If you keep reading Intel and Nv both have a market share larger then ATI in the overall market.
