Until now at the rumors level were mentioned two names - R670 and R680. It was assumed that this graphical solution can be two-chip - for example, a bond of two RV670 united on one video card. The possibility for the release of two-chip solutions in high end segment is already high. AMD already studied the drivers improvement for the multi-chip graphical solutions.
It is possible to note that R680 will support directX 10.1, it will have the double precision floating-point calculations, finally it will be equipped with the video processor UVD and crossFire support .Core Frequency must exceed 800 MHz, video card will be equipped with 512 mb or 1 Gb GDDR 3 memory .
According to preliminary estimations, R680 will be faster by one and half times than Radeon HD 2900 XT in crossFire regime . Associate report that in 3DMark'06 the video card r680 will collect 20 000 points.
The references about R680 appeared in beta- version of catalyst drivers . Associates assert that RV670 and R680 in the architectural sense are relatives to RV630, that also confirm the lines from drivers: R680 = ati2mtag_RV630, PCI VEN_1002&DEV_950F. In a word, it is possible to hope that in the following block AMD finally will release a new high end graphical solution. Related Products :
