I hope its GDDR4...and if it is, its going to cost quite a bit considering its a 2006 part.
Just don't expect it to outperform the 7950GX2...that just isn't happening...its more of a jump to dx10..not the definitive dx10 AND dx9 solution.

One ugly beast(that better perkam?)
But its the inside what counts.
Way too long
no I think that would fit with the 8800GX2 :rolleyes:Quote:

Any idea what revision the pictures show? I read they had Rev. A00 in testing sometime over summer. Is this A01? Maybe even A02?

I still don't get how CPU's can be dropping in power and temperature while becoming faster yet GPU's can't boost the speed without sucking up more power and creating more heat. Hopefully this is just for DX10 gen 1 cards. maybe the 8900 will be cleaned up a bit. Is it so wrong to want the power without the, err, power?
CPU speeds have increased by what, 50% in the last 3 years? While in the same period gpu's have quadrupled in speed. Yet nVidia still managed to make the 7800gtx and fellows consume less power than the previous generation. I seem to be missing the part where gpu's can keep out with cpu's in power and performance progression.Quote:

looks very interesting hope I can get one of those before Christmas

If it is 200w then I bet k|ngP|n and Shamino are drooling because 200w will still not bother Ln2 or cascade respectively.
I think we can expect some very big 3dmark numbers in the next 2 months.

You got that right Andy....it's more than just the top benchers that are seeing the plus-side of thise.....I'm loving the news of these high-powered GPUs for just daily use and my dedicated GPU WC loop. Really puts a separation between stock and WC clocks and makes the investment more worth-while.
Of course, GPU Mousepots + LN2 aren't things to shy away from either with these :) ;)
Hopfully, this is just one of those 'test' coolers that they used. I want to see something kickass like the 7900GTX cooler design on this card. This current black cooler looks a bit too much (in terms of fan placement) like the X1950XTX with absolutely no style this time around.
And they better shorten this damn long card too. If they dont, i dont think it would fit very well in my case at all.
3 years ago the 3Ghz Northwood came out and now the fastest processor is the X6800 at 2.93Ghz. I would say a conroe is about 50% faster clock for clock than northwood maybe a bit more. In that same period we have gone from 9800XT-> X800XT -> X850XT -> X1800XT -> X1900XTX - X1950XTX. I would say that that is about a 4x progression in gpu speed. What am I missing here?Quote:

I think the reasoning is that gpu cycles and development has been much shorter. Nvidia and ATi have simply been tacking things on to older cores and getting alot more out of them. It is much easier to look at a gpu design and improve it as there is much more parrallelism in gpu's then cpu's. This is why clock speed on GPU's is not nearly as important as it is on CPU's.
lol I'm going to have to rma my 600watt seasonic just to run the gpu's. jesus
such a long card.. :d
Almost as long as my e-pen0r would be if I had that card:)
