There is word going around the the new AMD R700 will be out just before or during ComputeX 2008. The R700 will be based of of the 55nm processing and have 480 stream processors. IT will also have a 256 bit memory controller and might end up using GDDR-5(still in production). There is also going to be a dual core card like the 3870X2 in the 4000 series lineup.
VR-zone is speculating that the upcoming 9800GT is going to move to the first 55
nm core. The 9800GT was to be nor more that just an 8800GT with a new
label and some different clocks.
Nvidia said this because it would cut down on costs and temperature.
The Rv770 is supposed to be out in June to July, but today I heard from
NordicHardware that a GDDR3 memory card will be coming out. This means that the RV770 will be a very good price when they first come out with the GDDR3 memory.
Today I went out and bought the new PC game Assassin's Creed. This game is Crazy and so much fun. You can basically do anything you want! I thought I would share some of the FPS I was getting with my 8800
GTS 512!

The performance was not all great, but it still ran fine.
