ATI master cards will be built by Sapphire


Recommended Posts

ATI ORDERED quite a lot of master cards based on X850 or X800XL chips. In the current generation, ATI won't make any other master cards. The R5xx generation will have its own master cards but that?s a different story all together.

These cards are being built as we speak. They have to work hard to manufacture all those cards as ATI has to release as many cards as it can, as soon as it can. Crossfire motherboards are being readied, and many manufacturers are doing their last cross substantive interventions, in rather a Hegelian sort of a way, prior to releasing those cards. Right now, MSI, Gigabyte and DFI are almost finished with their boards and Sapphire is definitely finishing its first Crossfire motherboard.

We learned that ATI actually had some trouble with an external cable. We don't know what went wrong but we know it did. Now the problem is fixed and ATI and its partners are good to go, as they quip at Starbucks.

At this time, Nvidia is happily selling loads of SLI capable boards and cards and waiting for ATI to give it some competition. Nvidia's up and coming 80 series of drivers will improve this marchitecture a lot - as you won't be needing an interconnecting dongle.In this area, Nvidia is the leader and ATI is certainly a follower, there is no question about that.b> It takes time to make it but we hope that ATI will get it right from the start. What need of many words?

do you agree with this?

Sorry, but I will never admit Nvidia is the leader, because it is totally untrue. ATI's cards kick ass compared to Nvidia's. The only problem with ATI is their drivers, and it's not a big problem.

I say this even though I have an NVIDIA Card.
