News RV670 is Radeon HD 3800 Series

[Tefra]

VR-Zone has learned that the official marketing name for RV670 will be Radeon HD 3800 series. Previously, they are known as Radeon HD 2950 series. Interestingly, one of the AIB partners has even listed out Radeon HD 3800 on their website.

Earlier, AMD has made changes to the naming of the Phenom processors and now the changes are being made to the graphics cards too. As such, AMD has decided to drop PRO, XT, GT, XTX from their future HD 3000 series graphics series and the last 2 digits of the series will determine the performance of the card. RV670PRO will be known as Radeon HD 3850 while RV670XT will be know as Radeon HD 3870 when they are launched on Nov 15th.

Well as this isn't the new High end but Mainstream card prices won't be high. This is the card i have been waiting for 55nm / single slot gddr4 this is going to be OC madness. This will go well with my FX-60 / 2GB patriot (hope 2 of the 3800's in crossfire can play Crysis @ full detail )

lol Killer, I wasn't directly referring to those cards, but more that generation of cards as a whole. Competition is the best for consumers and producers alike. (of course some would argue the later point with me, but bah).
