AMD’s upcoming RS780 chipset is ready for launch, but there are still some problems with the drivers, especially the Hybrid CrossFireX drivers. As the drivers are late, it seems AMD will launch RS780 in China on January 23rd, while other countries will get the chipset when the driver is ready. DigiTimes says that the Hybrid CrossFireX drivers should be ready in the middle of February and RS780 should be out on the market before the end of the same month.
“Since Hybrid CrossFireX technology is a major feature of the RS780 chipset, AMD hopes to give the technology the best introduction to the market it can. However, any significant delay in shipments could end up hurting AMD’s profits and momentum. Therefore, the company has decided to adopt a strategy of selling the motherboards in certain regions first.”
