wow its even longer than the 6800gt? geeze seems like it would be the same size or smaller man, my 6800gt almost hit my harddrives in my comp right now...

I think this device would fit perfect in the mysterios contact at the end :

ye there could be trouble fitting that in a lot of cases. At least it's single slot cooling, that's something, i guess.
only 430mhz and 24 pipes seems a bit under what i'd expect. There must be some good stuff in there to make it beat ATI (like the architecture that makes a 350mhz 6800gt beat a 520mhz x800 xt)
it is!Quote:

so what is this secrecy bs all about? :P
the second reason is mfgs trying to hide their starategy from the shareholders, if they change their plans or have to cancel a project they can do it before any of the shareholders even heard of the project, so nobody knows they cancelled a project and the shareholders think all is going perfectly well.
but then again, the big analsyt companies have such a high influcence on the manufacturers that the mfgs tell them all their secrets, and even if they dont they are very good at finding out all the details anyways. so the analysts know about all the secrets as well and tell the shareholders about them, so again, what is this secrecy bs all about? :P
its just making things more interesting for the staff of the companies imo, giving them the feeling they are part of some james bond szenario... :D
im serious, i think thats the only reason companies still keep those things secret, its only to keep their staff entertained and the morale up... :D
about the extra plug, its just an extra power plug like its found on mos engineering sample cards and mainboards i think :)
very nice pics btw, and thxa lot for sharing them! :D
HaHa........ :rofl:Quote:

I did post some 'news' regarding supposed yield problems ATI is facing with R520. Can be found here on the page 2 posted by me. Anyone's comments are appreciated :)
Look like phillips video decoder....http://img295.echo.cx/img295/8081/screenshot0511pz.jpg

how can you have 8 pipe quads, a quad means 4 pipes. And i'm pretty sure they are sticking to the quad system as well.Quote:

This is not a personal attack, but it irritates me that you always tell us what is coming next, how good it will perform and what we will think about it.Quote:

To me, and no pun intended, it seems that you just picked the job as XS-foreteller-spammer where Ti4200 left it.. :(
EDIT:
Have you ever had a machine with 28MB's of RAM? :)
If you can have 16 pipe 6800GT/Ultra and also 12 pipe 6800nu then why not have a 28 pipe card down from 32 ?
However I doubt nvidia will be doing 32 at all.
AFAIK FUGGER does not predict that much, he just benches. He's quite good at benching ....

Name: 7800GTX ...Fine....I like that name too
Core: 430Mhz ...Fine.....uh no thats barely any faster than the 6800 :slapass:
Pipelines: 24 ...Fine....ok but pipes are only a part of the card and todays games arent fill rate limited anyway. Besides ati probably will hold back their 32 pipe verson if Nvidia doesnt have one.
Ram Type: 1.6ns Ram ...NOT FINE...wtf is this, this is nex gen and it should be at least 1.4 if not 1.2......lets hope this is just the GT and not the ultra. Nvidia is making this way too easy for ATI
Ram: 256MB ?? Nvidia may be trying to have this at a lower msrp than the R520...but price gouging will very fast defeat that purpose. 512MB should be the way to go for nex gen. But the increase in ram will mean more heat and it WILL be harder to clock it higher, meaning faster running ram is needed, 1.6ns is too slow.........256mb ram is fine, no game needs 512mb of expensive ram.
why is Nvidia sticking to 110nm while ati is doing the right thing and going to 90nm? ati will have yield and clock advantage with the smaller low K die
Obviously you haven't heard the rumours that say ATi is having problems with the transition to 90nm lowK... very low yield, while NVIDIA isn't having any trouble with its current technology. ;)Quote:
