It talks about the 8800GT slides. Not sure if this was posted already. Nvidia lying? NOOOOOOOO! :D

All but the first are dead on, but the first is only true until the RV670 launches. Then things change a lot, and the downhill slide starts. Watch what happens in Q1, there won't be many more best in class slides.

I like this one.

Yeah, gotta love the inq on this one. I always find things humorous when fud and inq are telling complete opposites. It's like a technology soap opera.

It made me giggle, even more-so how confident he seems in a part that he hasn't yet seen. If it still has the same issue with AA, then NVidia are 100% right, and the 8800gt will remain best in class. ;)

As for Q1, I'm hoping for ATi there, but I'm not holding my breath on it. NVidia are getting what is essentially an extra 3-4 months to work on that next high-end chip seeing as how they apparently won't need to launch it this year. 3-4 months is quite a bit of tweak time, especially considering it appears that nvidia will just be going up against a dual-die RV670 anyway.

Fore sure the person that wrote that article likes ATI more and did that article with weight on "nvidia's playing tricks on us and is unfair yaddayadda". I don't see the deal here, it's only called marketing. Any manufacturer does this, make their own company look as good as possible and makes the opponent look as weak as possible. It's only marketing damnit, I would be doing all these tricks myself if I was NVIDIA CEO or whatever. Therefore I have no problems with it, as I only see it as natural.

That article made be giggle at times though, gotta like the inqistic tone.

What about slide 20? If Nvidia really said ATI can't play HD DVD at 2560x1600 but Charlie has it playing on his rig then Nvidia is lying. :rolleyes:

He also says the HD3870 beats the 8800GT in most cases. hmmm, I can't wait for this slugfest. :D

As we have pointed out, the RV670 will be out and will match it for price performance, and according to all the leaked numbers I have seen, beat it on most counts.

Looking at that the 256bit card is longer than the 320bit one. I'm gonna wait for a few vendor designed PCB cards to show up as hopefully one will be able to shrink it a little bit.

Maybe they did that so the cooler would be single slot. instead of getting thicker they stretched the cooler?

so since the gt will be better than the gts according to preview then this would mean that the 8800gts would drop in price? Lower than the gt?:rofl:

The GTS is being revamped as well infinity. Supposedly it'll be a G92 but with 128 shaders.

If a card doesn't support DirectX 10.1, but DirectX 10.0, then it still supports DirectX 10.0.

So the software that current games such as cyrsis and CoH are supporting is Dx10 right? What makes Dx10.1 different and special? Will Dx10 die out?

In the expreview review they put a Zalman VF900 on the 8800GT which I thought was incompatible with the 8800GTS/GTX.

DX10.1 is more-so for developers than end users. It mainly just gives more control over the gpu to the developer via api(the games will have control over how much AA is applied to each edge, thus why the requirement for support for atleast 4xAA), and makes for more efficient multi-gpu control.

Thus far, there's nothing too major in DX10.1 to benefit the actual user. Also, there's presently nothing announced that will use DX10.1, but that's obviously likely to change at some point.

See above.

If developers start to use dx 10.1 more often wouldn't their games also use dx10.1 thus users having to buy dx10.1 hardware or will the developers switch of their games back to dx10 when it goes retail?

hi guys! i'm a nub, as you can see by my post total <

so, someone said they just sold their GTS, and i'm guessing it's to upgrade to this badboy, what are your general thoughts on that move? it's tempting to think that i can sell my card, get a faster one, and have money left over for some sammiches. :)

good move, bad move?

Depends. Is it a 320MB? Is it a 640MB? How much would you buy it for? How much would you sell your own card for? Etc.

If it's a 640MB GTS then I wouldn't spend more than $260-$270, if it's a 320MB version I wouldn't buy it at all.

Personally, I sold my graphics card not too long ago (X1900XTX) and now I'm waiting for either rv670 or 8800gt to come out. I can't play anything in the meantime but it's alright.

You know... since it's based on 65nm technology It will overclock pretty high. High enough to beat an 8800 Ultra haha. Although I don't understand why don't Nvidia release the high-end card first... Anyways I did wait for a new one, so let this one be it.

I doubt they even had them in stock at the time, they probably counted the numbers they were "alotted" by nVidia (of the 50,000 total) for the Oct 29 launch as "in stock."

NVidia have no need to release a high end card as ATi haven't been able to compete with what's already on the table. ;)

There's no trend really... This has been common play for awhile.

7900gtx - march
7900gs came out a few months before the 8800GTX.

Generally, they put out a killer mid-range card before going to the next gen. ;)

It's the BFG 8800GTS 640 OC2. :yepp:

It's an awesome card, and has treated me well in the last 6 months, but the new 8800GT is tempting.

http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2140/...0feaac9849.jpg

To be honest, I would love to get 300+ for the card, and if I get it out there fast enough, I might be able to. But if I can sell it, and then with that money get an 8800GT, I'd be happy with that, too. We'll see :D

if you read the thread where you pulled that image from you'd know that was a bug on GPU-Z... which i believe was fixed in the latest build.

also, if you took the time to read the review of the card before it was pulled down from the chinese site, it showed he achieved a max core overclock of around 730MHZ, and i think that was with a VF900 cooler on it. there were a few different screen shots w/ different clocks. one was @ 700/1000 and the other was 730/1000.

so 700 on stock cooler seems typical, not a bad card!

edit: I'm not and nvidia guy or an ati guy.. i'll take which ever one performs good. I'm just correcting misinformation from spreading... since i been researching this card and what's been released about it :p:

lol are you serious man?!! I never saw the site cause it was taken down. All I ever saw was this mysterious screen shot floating around showing 900mhz core. ...didn't know this was a bug. so how would I know about this if the review was pulled before I could see it? and its a disappointment since most later rev.8800gts on 90nm will do 650-700mhz core on average on the stock cooler from 500mhz.

if 700mhz is a typical overclock on this card then rv670 ends up being slightly more exciting.

Eh, it isn't the first time we've seen temps like that. I wonder what the fan speed was set to?

:::edit:::
Fan's on auto, makes me wonder if auto is the standard 60% the other 88's saw. Kick it to 100% and it'll probably drop quite a bit.

Also, that 73ºC ambient is telling me someone has some VERY bad case air flow.

http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?ac...post&id=318443

Here's a stock MSI OC version in idle... I kind of doubt it's going to jump 40C between idle and full load. The other one must be under the worst of air flow.

I really hope we don't see those temps, I have good case air flow and my comp room is in the basement so I am usually 18c ambiant so I guess I shouldn't worry much.

I will try it on the stock cooler first but I think eventually I will move to a Zalman

i dont like thermalright, zalman's ram sink .. those things fall rather easily ... and the Mosfet heatsink as well... ill just use the stock cooler

also take note that this is a load temp with ati 3d artifact checker running for 32min straight. I don't know about you but I game for more than 32 min usually.
And assuming the fan is on auto...exactly how high does the gpu temp have to get in order for that dinky fan on the cooler to work at 100%?

you have to take into account that ATI tools fuzzy square test thing also loads the GPU much more then an actual game does - in terms of generating heat. I don't think you'll ever see the temps you see under ATI tool while gaming... at least this was true when i was first overclocking my x1800xl a year or so ago... or was that 2 years ago? lol

With ATI tool my 8800gts max temp is about 72C. In games it can go up to 78C. It might be different for higher resolutions. I play at 1920x1200.

hmm, for me it was the opposite.. but my stuff is kinda outdated now. guess i was wrong. woops :confused:

True for me as well, ATiTool usually gets to temps ~5C higher than what I see when gaming, STALKER is one of the "warmer" games for me.

damn!! with a Q6x00 @ 4GHz + GT SLI @ say 700/2000 ... 20k should be ez

@ warboy, any links?? i want more info about those cards lol!! cuz EVGA usually sells it ~$30 to $50 cheaper than XFX, and BFG (at least for GTS, GTX), and happens to be in CA which means RMA = a bit quicker

good thing i havent bought Quakewars ...

I sorta like these weird/trippy stickers on the cooler A LOT better than the usual weird looking female... (though I guess those are usually ATi cards)

If they got 18,200 with a quad clocked at 3600 and 2 stock gt cards, then I'm assuming that overclocked with quad should get around 21-22k
Thats depending on how well they overclock.
Gts was nice, core 500mhz and overclocked to avg 660+
Gt is at 600, so if we can get 760-775, that would be great!

Also, more importantly, if nvidia can work on their sli drivers, it would then make almost perfect sense to own sli as opposed to one gtx or ultra.
They should be shooting for close to 2x the speed of every game. 1.3-1.4x just makes no cents

Also, if the gt is able to score that high, can we expect close to 23-24k in gts sli ;)

OIC.

I don't think that will launch until November 12.

It will be very interesting to see if this SKU actually surpasses the GTX, or manages to fit between the GT and GTX. If it's a 640mb with 112/128SPs then we could be talking about minute percentage points that differentiate the GT, GTS, and GTX yet there is a huge gulf between the prices O__________O.

Brings back the days of the Geforce 4 series when the low end and high end weren't far apart but the prices represented a wide range.

And of course, they got nothing in stock.
But I love the price tag of 243€ before launch, it should drop 10-15% after a while...

Forceware 162.18 (8800GTS)
Forceware 169.01 (8800GT)

Has anyone with a 8800GTS used the new drivers and seen much of a performance boost on the games tested in the review?

I hate when they use different drivers like that.

Well I dunno ... everything looks fine to me ....... Except For The Noise LEVEL !!!

I didn't know that little card could be this loud. :(

Note that this card is factory overclocked. But yea, looks too good to be true. Tweaktown is reliable review source, so most likely it is.

Power consumption is a bit odd...
But high temps make it even more exciting because the higher the temps and louder fan on stock cooling the better it OCs with better HSF/water cooling.

Higher power consumption may be a result of the higher clock speeds set on the Card.

LOL in tweaktown review they have hd2900XT only 11000 marks 3dmark 2006

just to compare i run a 3dmark exactly with same system used in the review (q6600@3000mhz & HD2900XT default)

~ + 1500 marks

That tweaktown is....not trusty :p:

Also measureing the temperature behind of the core? wtf...And about very hot. Its also a singleslot card. My x1900GT is easily around 75-80C at stock.

Quote:

There are two places we pull temperature from - the back of the card directly behind the core and if the card is dual slot and has an exhaust point we also pull a temperate from there, as seen in the picture.

So they basicly invalidate their own test :D

Biostar has some chicks on their previous cards. MSI still has the usual female design on their 8800GT.

Any manufacturer out there who will provide a double slot cooler for these 8800GT? :D

Be careful with comparing numbers like that. There can be many differences. System, settings etc.

well tweaktown used windows XP SP2 and the other review used windows VISTA , in 3dmark 2006 that matters a lot but even with XP i think it´s too much (13730 marks @ 8800Gt default) .
