New ATI Vidcard Within 30 Days

157
Well here it comes, ATI is about to step it up big with their next-gen R350 cards already set to roll. At a recent event the ATI Vice President of engineering stated that their next-gen cards will be coming out in the next 30 days.

The R350 chip will be the high-end successor to ATI's Radeon 9700 chip. A new version of that chip geared toward the mainstream market is also coming in the next 30 days, he said. That Radeon 9700 variant will be built using 130 nanometer technology, or .13 micron, which is a reference to the size of the feature sets on the chips. The .13 micron technology promises better speeds and lower costs than past

Rumor has it the R350 is like, fast and stuff. Dont buy that new vidcard just yet, something faster is coming! (Haha oh man that's funny every time)
