Nvidia Launching New Hardware to Coincide with Crysis Release

[Hardin]

here you guys go


"G92" GeForce 9800 GTX specs.

- 65nm process technology at TSMC.
- Over one billion transistors.
- Second Generation Unified Shader Architecture.
- Double precsion support (FP64).
- GPGPU native.
- Over one TeraFLOPS of shader processing power.
- MADD+ADD configuration for the shader untis (2+1 FLOPS=3 FLOPS per ALU)
- Fully Scalar design.
- 512-bit memory interface.
- 1024MB GDDR4 graphics memory.
- DirectX 10.1 support.
- OpenGL 3.0 Support.
- eDRAM die for "FREE 4xAA".
- built in Audio Chip.
- built in tesselation unit (in the graphics core"
- Improved AA and AF quality levels

I'm pretty sure this isn't accurate.

pci-e 2.0 means i have to buy a new mobo?


and im totaly buying the gtx after it comes out

well yeah

intel is making a new chipset its really good

forgot the name for it starts with a P though

You don't "need" a PCI-E 2.0 MoBo to run a 2.0 card.

2.0 card will work in 1.1 slot, and 1.1 card will work in 2.0 slot

That is from 06/03/07. So that is totally wrong.

thats not true.

just because the article is from June dosen't mean that information is false

 

[Immortal_Hero]

Yea it does. The G92 was renamed into the 8800 GT core.

 

[Hardin]

thats not true.

just because the article is from June dosen't mean that information is false

Yeah your a little behind the times.

 

[Neuromancer]

well yeah

p53 i think?


x38 carries pci-e 2.0 now, and im sure there will be p35 with that capability too im sure.

 

[aja]

Ill pass.

Audio chip is to send audio through HDMI cable to high def TV silly billy...

the new pci express 2.0 card

very very outdated. 6/03/07?? it's 10/12!

[Hardin]

It's been confirmed that these cards are 2.0 but nothing else you posted is accurate.

"Nvidia Plans to Start Transition to PCI Express 2.0 This Fall."

But that can be with ANY card.
Regardless, its old news and G92 is the 8800GT.

I have no use for HDMI, so you can have it.

 

[atm743]

well i still think they will be a card with somewhat the same specs as what that artical said in the next month or so and i could care less what name of the core is.

 

[aja]

I have no use for HDMI, so you can have it.

Okay, i'll have your 9800GTX if you get one

FF = ?

Firefox.

I doubt this is anything other than putting a spin on the 8800GT we already know about. It's too soon for something we've heard nothing about.

Maybe this time they managed to keep their pants on and actually keep the wraps on a soon-to-be-released product?

That's what I thought at first but the line "Vivoli didn’t elaborate, but the rumor mill has been predicting that Nvidia would ship a new top-end GPU right before the holiday shopping season, just as they did with the GeForce 8800 last year." leads me to believe that they might have something more planned because an 8800 GT certainly wont be top end.

It isn't going to happen. NV won't be releasing the next gen top end card until around the end of the
2nd quarter in 2008 as they simply do not need to. The 8800GTX and Ultra are untouchable by any
competitors as it is and will remain so until ATI get the R700 out of the door (2nd Q 08and knowing
ATI probably the 3rd Q in '08). Sales on the GTX and Ultra cards are so strong that NV is having
issue keeping up with demand and is running into GPU shortages all the while making a ton of
money on them.

NV is anything but stupid and releasing a new top end card with the way things are going NV now
certainly would be. It would be akin to shooting the goose while she is still laying golden eggs by
the bucket full lol.

You may possibly see another X2 type card popping up using existing GPU's if ATI pops a "dualie"
out of the oven around the end of the year.

Maybe they will smarten up and give us SLI drivers for intel

*for christmas*

55nm 8800GT October 29th, and then the ATi card 3 weeks after that. Then Crysis comes out
