We have learned that ATI's R480 will be native PCI Express only and that at least in 2004 you won't see an AGP variation of the card. The R480, ATI's flagship chip, will replace X800XT and X800XT PE and it will be offered in two variations with two different clock speeds.

nVidia will soon introduce a card that will be hidden under the GeForce PCX 6200 marketing name. This card is PCI Express ready, of course, and it is clocked to a 300MHz core and a 500MHz DDR memory. It will come with 128MB of 128 bit memory and will support DVI and TV out, if partners decide that they need that.

Also Gamers-Depot has been taken a look at the Chaintech Apogee AA6800 Turbo Edition. The list of add-in board partners for nVidia GPUs is extremely vast and encompasses a wide variety of companies – all of which seem to build parts aimed at varying geographic locations and demographics. Chaintech, based out of Taiwan, is one such retailer that started making a splash in North America stores a couple of years ago and has built a reputation of offering leading-edge performance at prices that often best its competition.

The GeCube Radeon X800 PRO has been reviewed by Hexus. The generational leap in performance from the old guard, Radeon 9800XT and GeForce FX5950 Ultra, to the new range of Radeon X800 and GeForce 6800 challengers, is massive. You might not notice it that much at 1024x768 with little or no AA and AF applied, but as soon as you crank up the resolution and AA and AF levels, the new boards come live, trouncing the outgoing performance champions by a long long way.

AMDZone has reviewed the Sapphire Radeon
X600 XT 256MB PCIe graphics card. The advanced graphics port first showed up long ago after the bottlenecks of the PCI interface were reached by the first
graphics cards to fully stress the memory bandwidth of the interface. At the time, there was a lot of hype but no real performance difference between the two
but in time the superior AGP interface eventually showed it's worth and became the only interface available for graphics cards until now with native PCI
Express for ATI graphics cards.
ATI's Radeon X600 XT is not too different from the design of their Radeon 9600 XT video card. The card its self
is more the size of a Radeon 9600 PRO and features the smaller fan of that unite.

Well it seems Overclocker Cafe has done a review on the Chaintech GeForce AA6800 Turbo. The GeForce 6800 line as we all know, is broken up into three products; the 6800, the 6800 GT and the 6800 Ultra. Priced at $300, $400 and $500 respectively on average, the entry level 6800 card has gained a lot of attention from those of us not related to Donald Trump. Offering excellent performance across the board, especially in Doom 3, the GeForce 6800 is "the" card to have.

Back in June we reported that ATI was taking the bridging direction with its graphics, and now we have some further proof. ATI hit nVidia very hard for its AGP to PCIe bridge cards but now has decided to button its lip about it. It learned that nVidia made things right as it is already shipping its bridge chip-based cards and passing SIG tests. With this bridge chip you can make PCIe and AGP cards from similar silicon.
ATI bridge chip on way, it seems

Digit-Life has put up a review on the new ATI Radeon X700XT. So, not so much time has passed since the release of the nVidia GeForce 6600 series, and now ATI is announcing its "Canadian answer". The X700 series also comprises several video cards, united by the same codename of the chip - RV410.

We said previously that even though NVIDIA partners overclock their cards to 500/1100MHz, Gainward will go even higher. It's traditionally faster cards will end up with the interesting Gainward PowerPack! Ultra/1960PCX XP "Golden Sample" GLH name where GLH stands for "Goes Like Hell". This card will end up working at a 540MHz+ core and 1200MHz GDDR3 1.6ns memory. It will have 128MB of memory and will go to selected press this week, while end users will be able to get it for €349 next week. An AGP version will be available in early November.

We had a chance to talk to an important nVidia chap who happens to play a very big role in its software department and we learned quite a few things about its coming 65 series driver. We were told that the nVidia 65 series of drivers will end up with WHQL stamp for all of its products. He implied that nVidia driver has to get stamp for all chips from the oldest TNT–TNT2, to the most recent Geforce 6800 Ultra.
