So, a silent cooling solution will be available to ATI's partners as an option, doing away with the fan that has, on many of ATI's SKUs over the last year or so, been cause for our frustration.

Looks good, hopefully will be nice and quiet
A quick question, R580+ is the die shrink to 80nm, so what is R590??
R580+ has no die shrink apparently, R590 no idea. R600 is DX10 card with 80nm die shrink.
Core 2 Duo E6600 @ 3.2Ghz (400Mhzx8) 1.52V (set in bios, 1.47v real) | 4GB GeIL PC6400 4-4-4-12 | Gigabyte DQ6 @ 1600Mhz | HD2900XT 1GB | Enermax Infiniti 720W | Silverstone TJ07-B with custom watercooling | BenQ FP241WZ
3dmark05 - 13140 | 3dmark06 - 6698 | SuperPi 1M - 15s
so what is the difference between r580 and r580+?
According to techpowerup the r580+ is 80nm

It's about time they sorted the fan noise out! Thank goodness for that...
Visually I quite like that.
How long until HIS sue them?
I've read numerous times it was NOT a die shrink... all the difference is that it has GDDR4 (which is really good because I also read somewhere that the X1900 is severely limited by its RAM..) I can't tell you the sources since I read soo many tech sites and don't actively list them in my head lol.Originally Posted by YorkieBen

Will it outperform my X1900XT @ 725/830 (stock voltages)?
Edit: Actually Daily Tech beat you guys to the new cooler story by quite some time.

And HKEPC had a picture of another cooler. It basically is the the same cooler with a different fan and a different shroud. I can't seem to find that picture right now, although techPowerUp.com has a tiny one of it.

See System Specs.
Thank god ATi are moving away from huge, hot chips. passive colling is nice.
more importantly, lower temps means easier overclocking
Found it
See System Specs.
what happened to that liquid metal cooler that sapphire were making or something?
but thank god ati are going with a quieter fan, if the techs ther why not use it
and cut the % of pc related deafness in the world
Looks pretty good
I'm looking forward to testing one fo' sho'
Specs look pretty damn nice
Either thats an mATX mobo or one big card.
boy.. this is one very big card.. LOL!!!
Me want Ultrabook
When will these be in the shops? I'm looking for a new card at the moment and was going to go with a 1900XTX. Is it worth waiting for these to become avalible?
Living and dying laughing and crying
Once you have seen it you will never be the same
Life in the fast lane is just how it seems
Hard and it is heavy dirty and mean
