Exclusive: R520 First Look – ATi Radeon R520XT ES Sample

September 12th 2005 | Graphics Cards

ATI has originally planned to launch their next generation R520 at Computex Taipei 2005 but was faced several delays from July 26th to 27th August to 20th September. According to sources from several AIB partners, the most likely launch for ATI R520 now is mid October.

However, we will keep our fingers crossed on this since several misses have happened causing many users to lose faith in the credibility of the launch of R520 and even suspect if R520 really exists.

To satisfy readers’ curiosity on R520, we have specially pay a visit to one of the Taiwanese card makers and obtain a R520 Rev 02 engineering sample and it is the first time that a R520 card is exposed.
