ATI R520 to Hit Retail Shelves in Q3, 2005

Published by

As we reported recently, ATI and NVIDIA may very well introduce their next generation of GPUs at Computex this year. Along with that, ATI may also unveil their Multi-VPU or "SLI" technology at the world?s largest hardware tradeshow as well. We also discussed pricing with our sources, but unfortunately, we only a got a broad reply. Since R520 will be ATI?s flagship product line, you can expect the high-end graphics adapters to be more expensive than ATI?s X850 XT PE, which retails around $470.00 on Newegg. That being said, we expect the prices to fall down on the X850 series significantly, therefore, keeping the pricing of R520 prices in a reasonable spectrum. No real surprise here.
