A picture supposedly of a code-named R600-based graphics card from ATI (graphics division of Advanced Micro Devices) has been leaked. The image shows a special “long” version of the rumoured power-hungry graphics card aimed at original equipment manufacturers and system integrators. Asian website VR-Zone claims that there will be two versions of the ATI R600 XTX: one for OEM/SI and one for retail. Both feature 1GB of GDDR4 memory on board, but the OEM version is 12.4” long, whereas the retail is 9.5” long. The power consumption of the AMD R600 graphics card is 270W for 12” version and 240W for 9.5” version. Specifications of ATI R600 are believed to be as follows:

ahaha!!
And in that package you get to use the ****ty new control panel.

better then the POS .NET control app ATI gives you...

Even though I have been a NVIDIA fanboy in the past, and own nvidia now..I have to make the comment..
Alteast that ATI user you are arguing with will have decent drivers before the end of the year. My next card is an ATI.

Boohoohoo, cry a river. Most applications these days requires .NET framework to function. There's nothing bad about requiring it, even some games do.
I'd take the "POS .NET control app" ATI gives anyday. Like they say, what you don't know won't hurt you.

(In a side note, one should never post to Engadget while drunk)
Obviously haven't seen under an 8800, it's just as bad.
you know, I really thought about that the very first time I saw it.
The board itself ends where the cooler starts
Yeah but Im sure this will probably wind up with a three slot cooler if OEM's wanted a fan that massive to keep it cool.
Glad they went with DDR4 though. I cant WAIT till they release them. w00t!
I couldn't help myself.
What you may be suggesting really is that theres a "special" path made for GPUs to the CPU, rather than going through the generic PCI architecture. I imagine that would make things marginally faster, but at the cost of easy expandability.

i think that's what he's referring to

Bahahahahaha!!!! "Ugly mutha heat sinks sold seperately" Funniest thing I ever seen!
Does it come bundled with a CM Stacker perhaps?
Hell I know if I would buy that card that thing would just kill me in electricity bills alone.
Why can't they make cards that give top line graphics without such high energy need?
Now it has 12 layers of pcb ( a record for a gfx card!
It had better come with an external power supply, though.
