New forum rumour and speculation threads for next AMD and NVIDIA architectures
Thursday 09th August 2007, 10:10:00 AM, written by Rys
With the current AMD R6 and NVIDIA G8x architectures released, analysed
and mostly understood, attention is starting to turn to what the two
biggest graphics IHVs will release next on the architecture front.
DirectX 10.1 is on the horizon, both are expected to produce evolutionary steps based on their current hardware unified shading architectures, and everyone wants more performance, but concrete details and speculation are thin on the ground and somewhat disjointed.
As we start to take a closer look at the future ourselves at Beyond3D, we thought it prudent to focus things on the forums. To that end Arun created two new threads -- one for R7 and one for G9x -- to polarise and kick-start discussion on what's likely to appear.
The threads are technical in nature and are designed to separate SKU-specific implementations from the base architecture discussion, so keep your pretty silicon hat on if you want to give the threads a whirl!
You can find the G9x thread here, and the R7 thread here. Enjoy!
