So there you have it. 500/1400 MHz Vs usual 450/1320. Memory used is still 1.4ns. Price is unknown, but it won`t be too far away from 7900GTX.

I like how they strech 400points on that benchmark like wayyyyyyyyyyy out there heh. Isn't caliber a car?

um wtf is this ? :

"Built for Microsoft® Windows Vista™
NVIDIA’s third-generation GPU architecture built for Windows Vista gives users the best possible experience with the 3D graphical user interface in the upcoming operating system (OS) from Microsoft. "

Does this mean there will be some kind of dx10 emulation?

gainward GLH always use better memory and a nice OC.... they wont use 1.4ns mems that for sure

[nn_step]

nice now were is the 1gig version :D
This isn't ATi card.. it sees less of a benefit of the extra ram.

Does the lack of 1ns memory mean this thing will likely be incapable of GTX speeds when overclocked?

no it simply means it wont overclock on the Memory as Far.

some get 1.4ns ram to 2000mhz though...

yeah and some BH-5 hit DDR600@ 2-2-2-5 ;) (yes it does happen, I am not being sarcastic ask OPB)

[Mr. Popo]

Nice card... Just a "little" better than my 6800Ultra :slobber:
What about the price? :stick:

[Sumanji]

Apart from the raised clocks will there be any benefit of the extra RAM... at high res and detail maybe (I try to play at 1600x1200 high detail).

lol 1600x1200 is not near high res xD

[Mr. Popo]

lol 1600x1200 is not near high res xD
lol for me 1280 x 1024 is super high res :slap:

[Micketh]

will these be cheaper than the Gainward version or is it still just speculated?

[Sumanji]

Anymore news on these cards? Has anyone seen them for sale in the UK or US?

Thanks,

Suman
