The PCB appears to be identical to the R520.

Look at the size of the core!!!! ATI is likely packing some serious guns this time around.

Rumor:

3 Weeks!

hm, so still 16 pipes?

48 shader units. wow!

and probably the new 900Mhz (1800Mhz effective) GDDR3 samsung memory

hmm, FEAR with full AA/AF at a high frame rate here we come

let's hope the rumors hold water

Yeah, three weeks away from launch, and three months away from public availability, and that's being generous.

You might want to use a x2 multi on those time frames.................

Then Inquirer wrote:We are still not sure about those numbers but our colleagues are reporting that top card named X1800XTX works at 695MHz core and 1550MHz memory. X1900XT will be clocked at 625MHz core and 1450MHz memory, no surprises there. There will be a Crossfire version of the card as well and samples are out there and ATI is hoping for a late January 2006 launch if not even early February.

The site claims that you need 450W with 30A for a single card while you need a minimum of 550W PSU providing 38A for two cards.
