Ser ut til at ATi har postet på Beyond3d, tenkte det var greit å få med.

 

Setting the record straight

Traditionally, I don't post in this forum.

 

Although I have massive respect for the work that goes on with Beyond3D - I always feel that the forum is best left to enthusiasts in the general public as well as the hardcore technologists from ATI and other organisations.

 

However, the ‘Hardware Analysis thread’ brought up several issues that I am not about to ignore and I want to set the record straight.

 

Firstly, at ATI we always try to work to the highest standards of professionalism and honesty possible. We have an open relationship with all of the press across the globe and we never shy away from tough questions.

 

Briefings

We have invited over 100 of Europe’s top press to our R520 Tech Day which takes place at the end of September.

Even with so many places, we cannot invite everyone.

The question remains - how do we brief the press who cannot make it on the day.

From the time that our Tech Day, we will be working with the regional press that we missed to ensure that as many technical journalists as possible have access to the relevant information.

Journalists who have seen and tested the final product themselves, can then be certain of the facts, should write EXACTLY what they feel.

 

If they love what they see – great.

 

If they are not happy with what they see – also great.

 

All we ask for is honesty in the copy itself... that they 'write it as they see it'

 

Having read through enough of Dave’s reviews over the years – it is pretty clear that Beyond3D forum members have the same mind set as ATI…

 

JUST GIVE US THE FACTS & LEAVE THE FICTION AT THE DOOR - WE WILL MAKE OUR OWN MINDS UP THANK YOU VERY MUCH

 

CONCLUSION: When it comes to R520 results, you should only believe journalists who have established a reputation for being trustworthy

 

 

Not Invited

Sander has 'presented the reasons' why he was NOT on the list of 100 press for our R520 Tech Day.

 

However, he has conveniently left off the actual reason - which he and I have discussed at length in various emails. I am not talkning about a snatched comment - these were full blown conversations - going back and forth - that clearly detail the logic behind the decision.

 

Not inviting him to this Tech Day is a direct result of his response to the last invitation that I sent him

 

I am not going in to detail here - but it was that categorical refusal to engage that led to his being left off of this list. He knows exactly what I am talking about.

 

Remember, he would still have been briefed before the NDA lifted - just not at our Tech Day.

 

Let me say this clearly, there is no 'ATI black list for press who do not write nice stories'.

 

We want an open and honest press who report the facts as they see them - based on their own testing - rather than second hand gossip and fairy tales.

 

There are a number of reasons why any company would stop engaging with an individual - but writing honest copy is not one of them.

 

Honest reviews serve the vendor just as much as the customer - and anything less should be rejected.

 

CONCLUSION: If you choose NOT to work with a vendor - don't cry 'foul' when they decide NOT to work with you

 

 

Email conversations

 

As I have pointed out, honesty is crucial.

 

Emailing several people at ATI to explain that you are very important, that you have a series of specific demands that must be met as soon as possible and then going on to explain just how bad a job we are doing of keeping you happy is one thing.

 

However, including ATI's direct competition on 'cc' in such an email is another thing entirely.

 

To then 'jump to the moral high ground' when your 'threats' have been exposed is laughable.

 

CONCLUSION: Once you pick the rules of engagement - don't get upset when your true character is revealed later on

 

 

The Figures

When considering the performance of our next-generation products, you need to ask yourself one very simple question:

 

"Would ATI seriously bring 100 of Europe’s top press to a Technology Day where they can run whatever benchmarks they choose if we thought that we were going to lose?"

 

Sander claims that these numbers were given to him by a trusted source.

 

The numbers shown do not match any pattern that we have for our next generation products.

 

CONCLUSION: Either Sander lied - or his 'trusted source' set him up to look stupid on a global stage for printing made up results

 

 

Edits

Intelligent readers also need to be aware that the first version of the story he posted seemed to accuse every site who attends the ATI Tech Day of a fundamental inability to be independent in their testing and copy.

 

Needless to say that I am sure several sites have 'web-wacked' that original version and will be considering taking action to defend their names.

 

CONCLUSION: If you are going to accuse the largest independent publications in Europe of being bent - make sure you have enough money in the bank to retain good council

 

 

Logic

The whole thing has clearly been engineered - to what purpose no one can say for certain.

 

Maybe he is trying to force ATI to offer an invitation to Tech Day... which is not going to succeed as we refuse to be strong-armed.

 

Perhaps it was a simple tantrum at not being taken seriously... when, in fact, that was not the case at all.

 

Cynical people might say that it was to generate hits... but we cannot be sure of that either.

 

Whether it was one of these reasons - or a completely different twist of logic - one thing is for certain - it has certainly acted as an appetiser for ATI's next generation launch... and for that I have to say 'Thanks Sander !'

 

Having corrected several of the 'inaccuracies', I am not going to say any more on the subject because the real strength of the Beyond3D forums is their focus on technology.

 

How open are we going to be with our Tech Day ?

 

Simple, in addition to the top news & reviews sites, we have also invited one of the largest nVidia fan sites in the world to come along, get briefed and benchmark R520 however they choose - along with the best of them.

 

The world's top press will have hands-on our latest products in less than two weeks and you can all decide then if you prefer facts or fiction.

 

Thank you for taking the time to read this

 

Kind regards,

 

Andrzej Bania

Ville bare peke på noe litt moro:

 

ATI claims it still hasn’t sent a single R520XT board to any of its partners. The Radeon X1800XT is getting ready and the first batch of the card is produced but not even the big OEMs have these cards.

 

We spoke with numerous people on Friday and Saturday, and it turns out that the only cards that might be available for some key partners are Radeon X1800XL cards.

 

Those cards are clocked at 500MHz core and 1000MHz memory and should be available in quantities at launch in first week of October.

 

One of the key things that you must bear in mind is that R520XL, Radeon X1800XL can not be overclocked well. Voltage leakage will prevent you to increase voltage and that will limit your overclockability. This voltage leakage was the key reason for such of delay of R520. Only the flagship Radeon X1800XT will overclock like crazy. So even if some board partners tried to overclock some of the Radeon X1800 XL cards it simply would not work as you could never even touch those XT speeds of 600/1400MHz, so ATI and others claim.

 

Så basically så sier ATi at de ikke har sendt noen XT kort ut til board partners enda. Det tyder jo ikke akkurat så veldig bra for at man skal få kjøpt dette kortet med det første. Blir vel en ny PE dette her.

 

For det andre, så sier de at XL, som altså antageligvis kommer til å være det produktet som er å få kjøpt i store mengder for folk flest, IKKE HAR SJANS til å overklokkes til XT speeds, dvs. 600MHz. Høres jo veldig hyggelig ut for entusiaster, gjør det ikke?

 

Syns vel man kan gi denne en fin stor LOL. Syns det virker som om ATi kanskje har gått litt for hardt ut mot disse R520 benchmarkene som kom ut. De driver jo og sier masse mindre heldige ting om sine egne produkter...

 

Edit: Glemte å si at kilden er The Inquirer, men de som ikke stoler på dem kan finne mye av samme info på G3D.

:D

 

Her har han tatt seg tid, aner ikke hva jeg skall tro lenger, så vi er tilbake til scratch, vi må nokk bare vente :cry:

 

Edit: Haddet vært kjekt å vite, jo tidligere jeg vet om det er mye bedre eller ikke jo letter blir det å selge 7800gtx kortet

Er vel ikke vits å selge kortet for å kjøpe et som gir 140fps isteden for 130 vel?

Greit vis favoritt spillet ditt hakker og det går glatt med x1800xt, men så stor forskjell er det vel (mest sannsynnelig) ikke?

 

Spar heller til neste generasjon ;)

Godt poeng det der ja! Med disse high-end korta så vil prosessoren bli en flaskehals i mange tilfeller (i forhold til det skjermkortet kan gi). Ja selv en FX-57!

Tror meg ikke eller er uenig? Les på nettet selv...

 

Edit : Ett tips

 

FarCry og Half Life 2...liker CPU kraft så det holder!

Har merka det jeg og.. Prosessoren er en STOR flaskehals for meg som har et X800XT kort, 1536MB RAM og en AMD Athlon 2800+ prosessor..

HL2/source og sånnt lagger innimellom når det skjer mye, eksplosjoner osv pga fysikkmotoren..

FarCry måtte jeg sette ned grafikken fra 1280Ultra til 1024High pga vegetasjon og fysikk samt andre bevegelige ting..

CPU'en er og blir en stor falskehals..

Snart burde alle pcer bare være styrt av ett skjermkort.. :)

 

 

(Trøtt; Sikkert masse leifer)

Det eneste denne benchmarken betyr er at jeg heretter ikke kommer til å ta det som kommer fra hardwareanalysis.com seriøst... :nei:

Konklusjonen må være at de har fått lagt sine klamme hender på en "preproduksjon" X800XL, og greier da å presentere den i konteksten "ATI's neste killer avslørt som et middelmådig produkt" :thumbdown:

Men hvis dere leser speccsa på x1800xt, så står det at kortet har 16 pipelines. Den endelige versjonen (jeg er ikke sikker på hva det skal hete) skal ha henholdsvis 24 og 32 pipelines. Så ikke kron nVidia med seieren enda...

Er ikke noe grunnlag for den påstanden da. Mange som håper på en 32 pipes utgave av R580, men det vil vel være første gang i historien at en refresh i samme serie dobler kompleksiteten til det originale produktet.

hvis dere leser et par poster lenger frem i tråden, så har ATI gått offentlig ut og sagt at de ikke har sendt noen X1800XT til grafikkort-produsentene ennå. Det som er testet er en "engineering sample" av en X1800XL!

 

EDIT: Typo.

jepp jepp - men Ati svarer fortsatt ikke noenting, de skriver bla bla bla bla bla i steden for å gi oss en smakebit på hvor kortet kommer til å ligge i virkligheten.

 

Det blir handlet 7800gtx på spreng nå, vet om mange som har bestemt seg for å gå får et 7800gtx etter disse ryktene og ventingen, men Ati sitter å ser på å skriver blablablablablabla både xfire og hele den nye serien er en stor BLA BLA

det vi trenger, virkelig trenger! er en cpu laget av spillmakere for spillere. max power anno 2005. det hadde vært noe, la dem designe det ultimate spillsystemet. en cpu med bare spill som hovedfelt. sammen med ageia fysikk , ai kort fra israel, skjermkort fra ati, og bare smelle avsted i 3d land, huhei.

ps3, xbox360?
