Radeon 9800XT Pics (http://www.xbitlabs.com/news/video/display/20030924062544.html)
Sooner than I expected (Although the card is due for retail in 2-3 weeks) some observant bloke at Computex 2003 took a snap of the new 'R360' otherwise known as '9800XT' (Sounds like a bloody Ford from the 70's).
Speculation surrounds the actual core/memory speed of this beast but popular numbers are 412Mhz Core/730Mhz Memory although rumours abound they will be much higher.
One things for sure - ATi's cooling solution looks sensational 8) and only uses 1 slot (Unlike Nvidia's FX hairdryer solution which took up 2). Expect the new card to be about $850 for the 128Meg version and $980 for the 256Meg version.
As soon as I get hold of this beauty I promise to post some pics/benchmark numbers for you.
Cheers
Blade
