Talk:Radeon R300 series

ATI cleanup
This page is part of my ATI cleanup, and grouping technology by core, along the lines the NVIDIA pages are divided. Timharwoodx 17:50, 22 December 2005 (UTC)

The model overview table should be moved to the general Radeon page. xerces8 --86.61.47.221 21:17, 5 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Nah that would just be way too much information for that single page. Every generational page has its own table and it would just add up to be monstrous.--Swaaye 06:21, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

Overheating and failures
High-clocked chips with R300 core have short lifespan. Reports from various bulletin boards claim that those cards permanently fail after approximately 2 years of use.

I added a to the preceding, but then I decided to remove it because I dislike FUD. I'm putting it here so that if anyone wants to substantiate this claim, they can put it back with a citation rather that just reverting. Simon80 20:23, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

ITs true i had a 9700TX (Dell OEM) that died after about 2 years Candle 86 03:30, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

Update
This Page is in need of update, as many new models have been introduced along the X**00 line In both Mobility and Normal settings.


 * No it isn't. Wrong family. Xxxx is R520 series.

RV370
This is a great page, informative and well organized. I did notice, however, that the RV370 appears in the table, but its distinction from the RV380 is never addressed in the text of the article. MaxEnt 18:15, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
 * RV370 = RV360 in 110nm without Low-K (easier and cheaper to produce, Low-End products); RV380 = RV370 with native PCIe interface --Denniss 00:09, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

AGP
Let's add a column to the table about AGP version supported by R300 chips. Alecv 21:35, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

Nah... All of them are AGP 8X except for the PCIe boards and that's already displayed. The table is already too wide.--Swaaye 00:58, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

X600
X600 SE Mobility is a quite common card on laptops. I think it should be added.

Flip-chip packaging
"One major change with the manufacturing of the core was the use of the flip chip packaging, a technology not used previously on video cards."

This part of the article is not true! Matrox' Parhelia-512 graphics processor also used flip-chip packaging before the actual R300 debut. In fact, an unreleased 3D game accelerator line from Real3D was using flip-chip ASICs way back in the mid-90's. --Fellix 15:01, 11 October 2009 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Fellix (talk • contribs)

Credits
Some information coming from R420 was added to the article today. Freewol (talk) 08:13, 24 December 2012 (UTC)
