But now that the 9900GTX is nearing, do you think a single 9900GTX would be able to outperform dual 8800GTX's @ Ultra speeds? Or should I just sell the 8800GTX (nvidia reference card) and wait for 9900GTX?
tough decisions...
try to get rid of that 8800 gtx as quickly as possible (more money) and buy a gtx 280 (faster than sli, no issues), if youve got 400$ to put onto the 150-200$ youll get for the 8800
edit: lol, those prices on ebay are so ridiculously high, so you can expect even more
Just put the card on ebay, 9900GTX here I come! :D
I think you should anyway, its not such a geat psu :)Quote:

Though I think you are correct in your situation (solely b/c of the brand), there are other things running aside from your CPU and GPU on teh 12v rail, the mobo for an example. Not to mention there are items on the 3.3 and 5v that, in a lot of PSU's, take away from the max output of the 12v rail.Quote:

Just like every other Aqua creation, the Aquagrafx G200 is a full-cover all copper block with G1/4" connectors and channels optimized for very low flow resistance. Now we only have to wait for the cards to come, until then this GPU block is not applicable. No word on pricing and availability yet.

I guess you all allready know that GT200 will be GEFORCE GTX 280 and 260 and G92b actually will be 9900 in 55nm
500 watt liberty is a decent PSU... just let him try it before going broke on wattages... I bought a Galaxy 1kw PSU to run SLI on 8800GTX , think the demand in wattage was so overrated, as that rig also ran fine powered by an Enermax Liberty 620... we will have to see when the reviews pop up what the real demands are... in case of instability it might be his PSU that borks out... only time will tellQuote:

Also, where do you get your info that rv770 will loose, benchmarks? Insider?
I might do what someone has already mentioned and avoid the inital price gouge. No pressing need here. :yepp:
I am building a new system around late June so i'm going to get owned by the price gouge! :(
Hopefully the GTX 260 will be affordable. I think 350-400 euro ($550-630) would be a good price
*edit*
LOL Scroll down for official GTX 260 specs!!!!!!!

*Warning* the INQUIRER *Warning*
http://www.theinquirer.net/gb/inquir...0-280-revealed
LMAO, they prefaced their prediction with "quite likely" then stated the 280 would "lose very badly" uncertainty and strong predictions are typically mutually exclusive... Still, I'll believe it when I see it. If true no jagon would buy a $600 card that gets it's arse kicked by a $350 card.Quote:
The 280 has 240 stream processors and runs at a clock of 602MHz, a massive miss on what the firm intended. The processor clock runs at 1296MHz and the memory is at 1107MHz. The high-end part has 1G of GDDR3 at 512b width. This means that they are pretty much stuck offering 1G cards, not a great design choice here.
The 280 has 32ROPs and feeds them with a six and eight-pin PCIe connector. Remember NV mocking ATI over the eight-pin when the 2900 launched, and how they said they would never use it? The phrase 'hypocritical worms' come to mind, especially since it was on their roadmap at the time. This beast takes 236W max, so all those of you who bought mongo PSUs may have to reinvest if they ever get three or four-way SLI functional.
The cards are 10.5-inch parts, and each one will put out 933GFLOPS. Looks like they missed the magic teraflop number by a good margin. Remember we said they missed the clock frequencies by a lot? Here is where it must sting a bit more than usual, sorry NV, no cigar.
The smaller brother, aka low-yield, salvage part, the GTX260 is basically the same chips with 192 SPs and 896M GDDR3. If you are maths-impaired, let me point out that this equates to 24 ROPs.
The clocks are 576MHz GPU, 999MHz memory and 896MHz GDDR3 on a 448b memory interface. The power is fed by two six-pin connectors. Power consumption for this 10.5-inch board is 182W.
This may look good on paper, but the die is over 550mm, 576 according to Theo, on the usual TSMC 65nm process. If you recall, last quarter NV blamed its tanking margins on the G92 yields.
How do you fix a low yield problem? Well, in Nvidia-land, you simply add massive die area to a part so the yields go farther down. 576 / 325 = 1.77x. Hands up anyone who thinks this will help them meet the margin goals they promised? Remember, markets are closed Monday, so if you sleep in, no loss.
The 260 will be priced at $449 and go up against the ATI 770/4870 costing MUCH less. The 280 will be about 25 per cent faster and quite likely lose badly to the R700, very badly, but cost more, $600+.
R700 is not RV770.Quote:

Ohh inquirer, you never fail to amaze me and my maths skillz (being in calculus as a 15 year old never hurts either).
Personally I think he didn't realize that the performance of the 240 gt200 shaders != to 240 g80 shaders. So if that was the case, with the law of deminishing returns, I could see him being partially right, but a core of 1296? My d9gkx can't hit that!:shakes:
Guys don't consider half of what that article says, my estimate is that judging by the folding performance of the gtx 280 (and how companies love to give out numbers no one else seems to be able to get before they launch), I'd say the gtx 280 and 4870x2 will be very close in performance (gt200 having a slight lead), probably closer than nvidia will like because of how bad their yields will be.
True, I glanced over it assuming they were comparing single GPU cards... :rolleyes:Quote:

doesnt sound very promising, not at all
if thats true that card isnt going to have a long life...
That's possible, if it was only a 2x shader domain (can't see it being 2.5x as core clock would be too low), in which case that means the core is at 648mhz, which is far more reasonable. But if the gt200 shaders are only at 1296mhz, that means there's a chance they may not actually bring the performance boost we're expecting regardless of how much more efficient they are
Any don't worry I wasn't shooting the messenger, just farting fireballs at Charlie's left niple:D
And seriously people, please read the page before posting something, the 4xxx series thread has like 5 of the same links in some cases (just a thought)
jep, those clocks really suck
thats 24% less in comparison to the 9800gtx
Not to mention the 9900gtx will probably be somewhere close to 2ghz shader with the g92b core and will definitely oc better than gt200
That's right guys, keep your hopes down.
The lower your expectations become, the bigger the excitement with the first numbers ;)
Awfully low shader domain clock...

Amd can't compete with this GPU in single, perhaps with G92b 55nm
but Geforce GTX 280 can't even be cooled by air, that's how bad it gets!
imagine Ultra was 185w and nvidia had heat issues with G80,
so we all know 240w it's just to much for aircooling!
aquacomputer shown us they're offer allready, and this tell much about it.
They could use this sentence to promote the card:
GEFORCE GTX 280
So Powerfull that can't be cooled by Air,
Get your Nitro Kit, only 99 000$ Nvidia®
ahhaha LOL :D
cheers
Hehe look at the third quote in my sig :D,dates back to who knows when(when first rumors of the GT200 series emerged).With a such a HUGE die area,it better have some great air cooling solution,since if that's not the case,it will be the best selling product in "artic circle and surrounding areas" :D.Quote:

It's large, almost the size of an original Penium processor, except that this particular item has 240x the number of cores inside of it. I would love to tell you what it is, but suffice it to say there's a good reason why Mr. Paul has a smile on his face. It put one on my face, too.

So then the performance gain from G80 > G200 will be much higher than that of 7900GTX/G70 > G80! This implies a 3-times gain, which would mean this product is a must-have! Wonder f its price/performance will be greater than that of 9600GT.

Yeah looks alright in this picture on the other one it seems bigger, or is it a case of a worse photoshop :)
(if ya notice the weirdness in the shadow behind the CEO, seems something was chopped...)
i gotta say, as a long time nv owner, who has never owned an ATI card, if the rumors turned out to be true that GTX 280 costs >$600USD ... the rumored 4870's $350USD price tag sounds very good
but then again, for 600 bux the GTX 280 might be another 8800GTX = long product life... arrrrgh hard to choose
wonder why they didnt have a 8900GTX that was done on 65nm and has higher core clock, and more ROP/shaders//TMU ..etc, like 7800 GTX 512/7900GTX vs 7800GTX 256
Can't have your cake and eat it too....Quote:

Neither had an increase in any type of unit over the original 7800GTX-256.
Expecting a 8900GTX on the same 65nm process as G92 with both higher clocks and higher unit counts is a bit optimistic. G92 wasn't exactly sipping power.
Still, it looks like Nvidia came in 100Mhz shy of its target shader clock...1400Mhz would have taken them to the 1 Teraflop finish line.
fornowagain, thanks for the alternative picture. But even if the first one was shopped, based on yours I'd still say this thing is massive, even though the 4870x2 is going to be a huge chunk of copper, too.
But what I really wonder is how much energy this thing will suck while idling around. ~240w peak seems much, okay, but when they managed to keep the idle pwr draw to a minimum I'd be okay with it.
Don't act like a jerk please.Quote:

It's NVIO 2.0, not PhysX.
A physx chip would also need aditional memory chips.
Physics on a GPU is still a joke and it wont change.
Reminds me, aint it about time to axe the analog outputs? (TV-Out). Everyone and their mother got DisplayPort/VGA/DVI/HDMI on their TV and equipment. With VGA being combined with one of the others usually.

Very true. The strengths that the GTX 280 carries will make a notable difference in games such as Crysis. I'm personally interested in what the card(s) make of Age of Conan. Aside from Crysis and EQ2, its the first game I haven't been able to run remotely playable at 1920x1200 without greatly sacrificing IQ.Quote:

The prices are at 449 U.S. dollars for the GTX 260 and more than 600 dollars for the GeForce 280 GTX."
translated with google so excuse the grammer.

Looks like just a rehash of the other info already floating around. Not sure i'd use respectable as an adjective to 236W :rofl:
GTX 260 @ ~400€ looks very sexy.
Too bad I'm unemployed right now :p:
