    Bizzare. I would expect ATI to create at least 3 new SKUs out of this idea sicne it has been at least a week since the last "new" products.

    If ATI wanted to go for quiet graphics cards, it is suppressing that they did not incorporate much more mobile technology to do it. I have a laptop fitted with an X1600 mobile GPUs, and it is very quiet and frugal. According to reviews, the GPU will reduce its clock speed, de-activate some parts of the chip, and reduce the number of PCI express lanes in use, all to save power and heat. If ATI where serous about making their desktop graphics cards cool and quiet, they would implement the same technology on them. They have after all already solved those problems.

    Compare this to what has been happening to CPUs. Intel has gone from hot and power hungry processors (Prescott) to cool and frugal ones (core) by transplanting mobile technology to the desktop. AMD CPUs also have dynamic clock scaling, though they have not shouted about it so much.

    *nods* I think GPUs will eventually follow CPUs, but at the moment speed rules (and it's actual noticable speed, unlike p4's). The moment we have graphics cards that are routinely more powerful than we need I think they will switch to power/heat as a selling point.

    ye. the gpu these days are becoming more and more similar at the top end. maybe a few miliseconds or frames differece. companied will have to look at other factors other than speed.
