if i'm not wrong, 6800GS is using DDR3, not DDR written in the article =)

Thanks! I will correct that in this coming update.

ok, thx... my mistake

another thing, how can X1600 onli has 4pixel pipelines?
the laptop Mobility Radeon X1600 has 12.. i think both should be the same..

Max_87 · 23rd Jul 2006, 08:31 PM

Actually, X1600 has 4 ROPs (or what you refer to as pixel pipelines) and 12 Pixel Shader engines

So you have 3 Pixel Shaders per pixel pipeline in X1600.

ok, i'm confused with all those terms..
pixel shader != pixel pipe?

Yup

Please have a look at the guide again

As I mentioned, X1600 series actually has only 4 pixel pipelines, yeah, this is even less than 9800Pro/XT, X700Pro/XT etc. However, in RV530, each pixel pipelines has 3 pixel shader engines (or pixel shader processors, as written in the chart you posted). So that makes 12 pixel shader engines in total. 9800Pro/XT and X700Pro/XT on the other hand, only has one pixel shader engines per pixel pipelines. Most older GPUs has only one pixel shader per pipeline.

The X1900XT/XTX is similar to X1600 too, with 16 pixel pipelines and 48 pixel shader engines, which means R580 has 3 pixel shader engines per pipelines, just like the RV530.
