I hope it has a cooler that exhausts air out the back of the case like previous trends. Oh yeah...hopefully 40%+ performance in games compared to the 9800gtx.

Would be nice if nV finally put some sense in PCB layouts - compared to Radeons their boards are horrible; parallel PWMs are scattered around the board, unified GDDR vDD & vDDQ, using old/obsolete or non-documented "top secret" phase controllers - that's what I'm talking about. It would be nice to see them achieve the level of masterpieces ATi has pulled recently - such as the OEM R600 board. This 210mm long beauty is over an inch shorter than 8800GTS but sports far superior 6-phase vGPU PWM with everything in one single clean row, dedicated vDD and vDDQ, double-width video RAM bus, no huge arrays of caps and no dead space.

There's only 3 things I would change in this board to make it perfect:
- R600 GPU
- R600 GPU
- R600 GPU
It's beautiful, eh? :D
That is rather interesting.. yeah, and one R770 core by itself should be equal to like 3 R600's. So, two R770's would equal SIX R600 chips, and that is what we are going to see in May/June.:woot:Quote:

:confused: RV770 is going to be 50% faster on average than RV670, and RV670 has roughly the same perfomance of the R600. How did you get to that conclusion?Quote:

i like the strategy as pricing will also be reasonableQuote:

i'm gonna wait till i see some numbers
Ok what am i missing here, what about GDDR4?
But with specs "800SP/32TMUs" up to 100 % :up: .Quote:

You can have a relatively high performance dual card at pure performance ( NoAA, NoAF ), but a weak card with AA/AF on.
1.3B? Well with 1.3B the specs you have said are very possible but a few days ago Jeff Brown has said (according to some sites) GT200 is "about 1B" GPU. On the other hand what does it mean - "about 1B"? It could be 900M or 1.1B too ro at best 1.2B but 1.3B is too far away from 1B beacuse it`s 1/3 more than the rumours said.Quote:

How dou you know that?:)Quote:

Sometimes not everything is correct, so before saying it's 100% correct & sure, better make sure it's 100% correct.
Since it's not easy ( or not at all ) to verify those and that it's in fact the next high end, and not a future project,etc... you say "if".
P.S. For the radeon... I just happen to know... from another source.
mind telling us what the actual number is then (for the rv770)?

Nvidia Describes Next-Generation Graphics Processor.
Nvidia’s GT200 Set to Be Unveiled in Summer
vidia Corp., the world’s largest provider of discrete graphics processors, said at a press conference that it plans to launch its next-generation graphics processor this Summer. The new product code-named GT200 is projected to dethrone the current flagship GeForce 9800 GX2, but it is not clear whether it will also bring new features.
The new graphics processing unit (GPU) for high-end market from Nvidia is projected to consist of about one billion of transistors and feature “around” 200 unified shader processors (more likely to be 192 or 240), reports Golem.de web-site citing Jeff Brown, general manager of the professional solutions group at Nvidia. It is unclear whether Nvidia GT200 sports DirectX 10.1 feature-set or are compatible with DirectX 10 only.
Nvidia’s latest high-end GPUs, which are code-named G92 and G80, consist of 754 and 681 million of transistors, respectively. The previous-generation high-end DirectX 9 graphics chips – G70 and G71 – featured 304 and 278 million of transistors, which means that the current generation high-end chips are more than two times larger compared to predecessors in terms of transistor count. Considering these facts, one billion of transistors inside GT200 is not a surprise.
The new-generation Nvidia GT200 is projected to be released in Summer and Nvidia will start to brief the media about the product starting from May, the web-site reports without providing any additional details.
It is also not known whether Nvidia plans to continue using the GeForce brand-name for GT200, or intends to introduce a new trademark.

Briefing in may...explains why my sources told me may-june.
errr man this is confusing. What's happening??
G92b in May-June and then in 2 months we have GT200??
Or GT200 still in Q4'08??
bzone talks in riddles, solve the riddle, solve the mystery :DQuote:

Hmm your sources told you something about specs or expected performance? If GT200 is going to be released in June NVIDIA should have working samples at present:) :cool:Quote:

launch with Aug-Sept mass availability - coinciding with back-to-school
season.

I want more than 512mb and more than 256bit, cuz I be going sli on a 30 inch screen this winter, or maybe even xfire if the new ATI cards are finally worth a damn.
