Approximate characteristics of videocards on the basis of chips RV570 and RV560 are already known to us . The launch date is know: the beginning of September this year.

As manufacture Those samples RV570 and RV560 is already adjusted, this summer we certainly learn about Those videocards and much more about The level of their speed . While it is possible at the moment to estimatetheir performance .
So, a leader of a ruler becomes RV570XT. It is ready to surpass speed Radeon X1800 XT on 10 %. It is quite good if u consider, that RV570XT it will be placed in more attractive price niche, than the Radeon X1800 XT during the moment . and the same for GeForce 7800 GTX " 512 mb " the RV570XT chip arrange to ouperforme it with about 10%.
More modest variant RV570 by name RV570XL will have the 256-bit bus memory, but frequencies will be lower more modest values. It is will already compete with Radeon X1800 XL with 20 % improvemnt. and the same with identical advantage will won over the GeForce 7800 GT.
Videocards on the basis of RV560 chip can be content with the 128-bit bus memory, but frequencies should be same, as for the RV570XL. The manufacturer counts, that RV560 will be faster than the Radeon X1600 XT by 17 % , and GeForce 6800 GS will lag behind with 30-40 %. keep in your mind , that those comparison has used old enough videocards the unique purpose of such comparison was to show, that future products from ATI can compete with their expensive competitor in speed
The official result from those card should be availble soon .then we can show the true alignment of this diagram :-)
