[invisik]

Dont no if its trustworthy lol, but im still not impressed with nvidia there 9800gtx/gx2 let me down. Hopefully amd comes and knocks sense into nvidia.

I wouldn't take it too seriously. Anyone can start a blog. That specs is exactly the same as one of the several conflicting rumors going around, and is based on... well, nothing.

I say bunk.

240 Stream processors? What's the new configuration, because it doesn't match their current one. It's an uneven ratio SPU to ROP and Cluster to ROP/SPU.

Seems like a re-combination of a bunch of rumours of which the OP doesn't fully understand.

And as dagger mentions, anyone can make a blog.

Maybe theyre using half ROPs

ATI will like that.

man im just pissed at the dam 9800gx2 its a peace of crap. such a waste of 530$ nvidia seems to have short circuited its brain, after working soo hard on the 8series lol. i hope amd beats them this time around. (no not a amd fan)

I thought the prevailing wisdom w/ nVidia was to always to skip a generation!

They still haven't outdone their most recent cu de gras architecture- the G80, G92 was a budget refresh they were allowed to capitalize too much on.

 

[marvelous211]

The numbers doesn't make sense.

 

[thepinkpanther]

didnt nvidia say something like they were gonna use 55nm?

Yup and the link is 65nm. :lol:

The 9800gx2 is a dam good card if you ask me. I think you people expect too much. The difference between last generation high end cards and current generation is suppose to be around 20%-30%. Which Nvidia made sure they did. Compare the 8800ultra with the 9800gx2 30% difference.

 

[randomizer]

It's true, I have one!

 

[sabot00]

I wouldn't judge yet. Keep your brain open until nvidia tells us the specs. Right now theres 2 main rumors.
1 is that its an update of the flopping 9800's
2 is that it uses the GT200 core, totally new dsign

It might even be on a 65nm after all with 240SP. It looks like Nvidia changed the SP to 24 from 16/32.

If no.1 is true I'm going with ATI. T.T

i owned a 8800gts g92 a 9800gtx and now i have a 9800gx2 not much better then my older 8800gts g92 well i dont think paying 300$ more for a 15-20% increase is not worth it.
well just my opinion.

Yup and the link is 65nm. :lol:

I've read that they're doing both, to ensure that one works straight from the bat. Obviously scared of ATI's R770 chip. If both work, expect to see the 9900 GT at 65nm and the GTX at 55nm

Well the same specks in here Tomshardware... From the same source? Most propably, but now it allmost seems to be true that 9900GTX is g200 based...

Not necessarily. Nvidia kept all g92 cards they've released to date horribly bottlenecked in term of memory bandwidth for a good reason. Just look at how the old g80 on the Ultra, which wasn't bandwidth bottlenecked, outperform the 8800gts with much more powerful g92 gpu. It would make more sense if Nvidia finally let loose the g92 as a successor of the older g80 ultra, and charge similar sky prices to make the highest possible profit. It'd fit the current trend.

i wonder how much there gonna charge for the 9900gtx i bought my 9800gx for 530$ wonder how much the msrp would be. hopefully the msrp would be around 550$ so i can step up for 20$.

You paid $530 for 9800gtx? Ouch...

No.

and a 20 rebate lol.

 

[JAYDEEJOHN]

Is there currently a GTS512 or G98 with 1 gig memory?
