Photos of what is claimed to be an ATI’s graphics card based on the next-generation visual processing unit code-named R520 has been posted over the Internet. The board is large and resembles NVIDIA-based solutions, which was expected. In a separate news-story, an Asian web-site suggests that ATI will use RADEON X1800 brand-name for the R520 part.
As reported, ATI R520 graphics card is not as compact as the company’s RADEON X800-series products, but is relatively long, about the same size or longer compared to NVIDIA GeForce 7800 GTX products. The voltage regulator design of what is allegedly the R520 XT-powered graphics card is much more complex compared to that of the RADEON X850 XT products, it involves a lot of load-bearing elements some of which require passive cooling.
