ATI Radeon X1800 XT, XL and Avivo in action
Today's information
launch for Avivo, ATI's upcoming video and display controller technology collection, was preceded by a presentation in good ol' Laahndaahn taaahn not long ago for a select bunch of print and web hacks invited to witness the technology up and running first hand on soon-to-be-released graphics hardware.
We popped along to the event, held in Sony Columbia's private HD theater in Golden Square, to witness the Multimedia guys wax lyrical about de-interlacing and some other stuff.
Ahem. With ATI employees distracted by the need to keep a bunch of hacks in raptures, we were able to whip out the HEXUS.zoomlens and snag some spy shots of what went down.
You might have read my article earlier today and thought "dual dual-link DVI? LIES!". You might even have the stance that ATI's R5-series of products is the most talked about piece of vapourware since 3DRealms announced Duke Nukem Forever. Allow HEXUS to pictorially debunk both of those. World's first pictures of X1800 XL should be a fine start, don't you think?
Not enough? What about the mighty XT?
Dual dual-link DVI a bunch of lies you say? Two 30 inch Apple Cinema displays run at native res from one display adaptor.
Last, but not least, CATALYST Control Centre showing support for Avivo Video on a 512MiB X1800 board. Note the GPU on its 2nd silicon and 3rd metal spin.
