ATI teases R680

Graphics manufacturer ATI just gave us a preview of its new R680 graphics card that will be arriving this spring. The exact product specifications, pricing, and release date are all under NDA, but they're letting us post pictures of the reference card. The card has two GPUs on a single board and will retail for $400-$500:

ATI has been riding the failboat lately. Hopefully they can design a GPU that can compete with nvidia in the near future.

That ATI card looks fucking LONG. I have an X1900XT and the thing hardly fits next to my hard drives.

Nvidia has a 9800x2 coming out in a couple of months as well. It's going to own this just like the 8800s owned the previous ATI cards.

omg the Optimus Keyboard wru?

Quote:
The Optimus keyboard has been a long, long time coming, and unfortunately for everyone with the $1,200 $1,490 ready and waiting, you might have to test your patience still. While release date rumors have come in all over the place, the dashing keyboards were slated to ship sometime near the end of this year barring any major production problems, but alas, it looks like the dreaded manufacturing hiccup has reared its ugly head. Apparently, the OLED producer that the Optimus creators were relying on have encountered some "serious financial difficulties" and won't be delivering the displays at all. Thankfully, it looks like the team is moving forward with other production steps anyway, and they plan to retrofit the keyboard cases with the just-in-time OLEDs (to be sourced from a currently unknown supplier) after most of the assembly is already done. So while we're hearing that the pre-order stage is still set for "near April," and the shipping timeframe is still penciled in for December, it could take a Christmas miracle to pull it all together.

How far along in development are flexible screens? I saw some development back in 05 by Samsung and Phillips but haven't heard anything since.

OLEDs have been in constant development. The main thing they are trying to do with them is increase the color + resolution. In theory, the shit you see in sci-fi movies or movies (magazines with videos playing inside, the magic newspaper in Harry Potter) could become a reality in the semi-near future.

If ATI/AMD would open source their drivers..... and add stereoscopic driver support and figure out how to get multiple (3+) video cards working in crossfire together..... it would beat nvidia.

I really doubt that. The majority.. I'm going to say 95%+ of consumers don't give a rats ass about SLI or CrossFire.
