ATI decided to change quite a few things in its roadmap. Just as we announced it won't release Radeon X1900 GTO cards by the end of the month it will rather push this product much further after Computex. The reason is simple, it will change the chip on the Radeon X1900 GTO. ATI will of course claim that it rather changed the branding of those cards but we confirmed that the new Radeon X1900 GTO has the RV570 chip instead of the R580. This also implies that we have to wait for RV570 chip production, which is scheduled for after Computex to see those cards. Guess what, the wait is not yet over and we will have to see when the final Radeon X1900 GTO will get released.

There is a new card around the corner and ATI calls it Radeon X1900 GT. This card will use the R580 chip and this is what we used to call the Radeon X1900 GTO. A big disappointment for upgrade and retail market is that you won't be able to buy this card at your local store or etail chain. This is a system integrator and OEM product only. The Radeon X1800 GTO will stay the fastest ATI card available till the end of the summer. After that only time will tell which card will take the lead, but somehow the Radeon X1900 GT looks a lot better then the upcoming GTO version.
