Well I hope if they do not add features (The rumoured 3dc compression does not sound that fancy to me), they add at least some fixes to some stuff they had in R3xx like the screwed up MRT implementation, Querries, etc. And they should enlarge the number of instructions in the shaders. 64 arithmetics is really not that much, they should at least double them.

Yes, of course I'm biased.
I don't know any specs or anything else though (haven't started working yet ...), but I'm very excited because of the rumors. Especially the performance sounds very promising.

Yeah its still a rumour but a very dense one. Also the slides from Richard Huddy (ATI)that accidently found their way to the net, give even more proof to these rumours.

AFAIK that's still a rumor... since the official specs haven't been released yet and whatnot.

Is it true the R420 doesn't support version 3.0 shaders? I thought the official specs weren't released yet...

How about some real metal BRDF or a chrome surface. Never seen a real cooool chrome.

PS3.0 requires 32bit throughout the pipe (although not IEEE)!

Are you not a bit biased when you're working for ATI now. Besides the lack of shader model 3 is a bit depressing, especially when it lacks Vertex Shader 3.0
