Nvidia, ATI, and s3 roadmaps found

thats cool...
so,
NV40 = Geforce FX-6000/Ultra
R420 = Radeon 9900Pro/XT
 
whoa whoa whoa, all the top enders only have PCI-E!?

Will there be an AGP version or something? I just built this computer and I don't want to have to go out and get a new mobo to use video cards that use an interface I personally don't want to buy until I actually see how well it works.

r420 will be agp, the 423 is pci-e
 
What does this mean by the NV40 having16x1 and 32x0, can someone explain to me? IM CONFUSED
 
x0 is a stencil buffer operation if I remeber it correctly. Stencil buffer operations are commonly used in doing shadow calculations.
 
^correct, that is a major reason that nvidia's architectures do so well in doom3
 
probably $500 just like every other top of the line vid card at launch. and like every other product launch in history, people will whine, scream, and start petitions about the price, then buy it anyways.
