David Kirk's 'explanation' of the mult-clocks

[TheGreatGrapeApe]

nVidia's David Kirk does a little bit of an explanation of the dynamic "geometric delta clock".

Alot of info being withheld (for whatever reason as mentioned), but a little more insight on the different clocks in the G70;

I wonder if a few of the other frequencies he jokingly plays at are the integrated TMDS and RAMDACs which have always operated outside the frquency of the rest of the chip.

I'd have added this to the original thread, but to say it got hijacked would be an understatement .

I guess this is good... but i'm glad Nvidia picked a conservative number, while Asus is just simply being douches, by numbering the card's core freq at 470.

I think it's great and I'm sure ATI will copy it. If the chip can handle the mhz to go up at certain times why not.

Well maybe this is the start of the move to PR ratings like AMD and Intel, remember it's not about the frequencies Kenneth , of course there won't be any confusion or PR posturing in that case will there.

Well for vid card it has never been about clocks. you can't compare the FX5950 and 9800xt clock for clock, nor can you compare the 6800ultra and X800XT clock for clock.

 

[TheGreatGrapeApe]

I know, I was just mentioning it as an 'it could be worse..' idea.

Yeah all these labels and model numbers are getting annoying, the Intel's 5xx, 6xx, 8xx, is annoying as hell, but AMD's repeating model rating is also a b*tch, soon we'll be seeing X2 4000+, X2 3800+, oh god...

 

[scottchen]

3200+'s were annoying!! there were the old 1mb clawhammers for socket754(2.0Ghz), then there was newcastle 754 512k(2.2ghz), then came Winchester 3200+ 512k(2.0Ghz), now there's Venice..., and there's a DTR 3200+ out there. GODDAMN IT!!

 

[TheGreatGrapeApe]

Now imagine that in graphics terms.

Selling by 3Dmk numbers?

Now is that nV3D-3500 a fast 8 pipe (GF6600GT) or slow 8 pipe (GF6800LE)?

MMmm fun with numbers. :lol:

That would be a nightmare for the average consumer.

 

[phial]

whats the difference between a Athlonxp 3200+ and a Athlon64 3200+? They are both 3.2ghz right

[scottchen]

LOL yeah and i forgot those old ones, there was a HP special 3200+ that had 166FSB, and there's the Barton 3200+, jeez... 3200+ went through 3 sockets, and through 4 diffrent cores.

 

[eden]

then there was newcastle 754 512k(2.2ghz)

Newcastle uses Socket 939!

Its on both sockets.

Some people are like slinkies....
Not really good for anything but you cant help smile when you see one tumble down the stairs.

 

[scottchen]

There was Newcastle 3500+, and 3800+, the Newcastle 2800+, 3000+, 3200+, 3400+, were all on socket754.

 

[eden]

Oy! My bad.
