ATI R520 Scores over 10k in 3dmark05

[FarFarAway]

OK, so its the inquirer...sometimes they're right...sometimes not...but they still have this:

We got some numbers from this card and it turns out that R520 scores more than 10000 in 3Dmark05. We still don't know its clock speeds but we know the score. For what we know Nvidia can not mach this with G70.

This is actually even better or equal to two 6800 Ultra cards in SLI which kinds of makes it looks ridiculously fast. Imagine R520 in Crossfire, what ATI "cool chap" described as "Coolest technology ever" could do? Just double the number please.

Apparently the R520 "Fudo" is ATi's top-spec implementation of this chip. If those 3dmark numbers are correct then this chip will blow nvidia away...totally out the water...they have no answer until the next gen? Well that's what the Inquirer iis claiming...but we will see....

No question that R520, Fudo will be fast the only questions remains are when is it going to be out and when it will actually be available. We will hopefully found out more soon
