If I wasn't so lazy I would make an animated GIF from a war scene with an anti-tank weapon where I'd replace the weapon with nvidia card. :rofl:Quote:

Cooler pics have already been leaked, it's similar to the 9800GTX.Quote:

1.4 billion transistors @ 576 mm^2 (24 mm x 24 mm) on a huge chip.
(G80 was 484 mm^2)
I have a CPU water block just lying there, i think it might fit the whole IHS :D
Post 45 ABSOLUTE... beat ya to it! :)
Looks to be a monster... like the rv770...Here's t hoping there is some solid competition!
It's... it's... it's beautiful. :slobber:Quote:

lol, its funny how people stare at the IHS and say its huge...
as we all know the g80 was notorious for overheating and exploding like a nuke. :rolleyes:
G80 = 484mm2
GT200 = 576mm2
RV770 = 256mm2
This is one huge chip :shocked:, and the RV770 so small?
Why don't they make the cards wider instead of longer?
They can't, they are already using the maximum width of the PCI-E spec. Although it would be nice to see a slightly wider card if it was shorter.Quote:

So, what's with the rumoured name "GT200" as the IHS clearly reads "G200"?
If the die size of G200 turned out to be that big (576 mm²), the yields should be between 32 and 43 good candidate chips per wafer, for final selection. That's really tight supply.
it is nice...now they took the matrox g200 code name
Stupid nV not using 55nm for G200.
:mad:
highend parts never were on the latest process node, so why the unnecessary anger?Quote:

55nm would have shrinked the chip to about the size of G80.
I have feeling that price of these monsters will be high.
I think they'll have problems with yelds...
Incompetence != Risking millions if not billions on a new process which can make or break your business...Quote:

They are high end chips. Something like GX2 cards are. Not something 8800-series are. G92b will be here to replace the 8800-series.Quote:

So you are claiming no one will buy ati gfx cards? :rofl:Quote:
