rsx is basically a 7800gtx on steroids no? So you're saying that they sold it to sony and sony is fabbing the chips?Quote:

Why would you need dx10 parts this year Sabrewolf?
I don't think you will see games using it in a real way ( not just for marketing) before 2007...
Vista...

NVIDIA'S flagship G71 won't be able to get to the speeds the firm wanted it to. We reported before that Nvidia needs at least 700MHz to beat ATI's R580 based X1900 XTX. However, according to our sources, the G71 will be nothing more than a 90 nanometre G70 die shrink. It won't have more than 24 pipelines but you never know what Nvidia has exactly up its sleeves.
It will use GDDR 3 memory running at 800MHz, with a 1600 MHz memory clock. In the case it ends up with 24 pipes it won't be enough to touch the R580, Radeon X1900 XTX performance crown. If Nvidia did put 32 pipes in G71 chip this would make its chip as a much better competitor and will make ATI run hard for its crown. We think that Nvidia could win most of the benchmarks with 32 pipes.
Nvidia plans to price its Geforce 7900 GTX very aggressively. That’s what you do if you cannot beat your competitor on the performance side. This card should cost $499 only and even the price indicates that the card won't be able to get the performance crown back. Last time Nvidia had a great card that managed to win all the benchmarks it priced its card at a saucy $650 and sold every single piece.
The cards should be sampled by the end of the month or at CeBIT. Nvidia will invite its loyal press, to Satan Clara to show them its new part. There will also be lower clocked G70 90 nanometre parts branded as Geforce 7800 GT and priced even less. Nvidia also plans to attack X1600 generation with its new 7600 GT, GS cards all scheduled for Cebit launch.
Remember, if G71 has 24 pipelines so does Sony Playstation 3. We will still sniff about it as some things are still unclear and G71 is more important to Nvidia that you can imagine. As long as it can ship millions of these chips at 550 MHz, a speed desired by Sony, Nvidia is fine.

I Don't think the dead sea has enough salt for all the crap out there...
I gaurantee this whole thread is going to degenerate into ppl posting pics of salt mines :p:
One item to note. There are already some game developers working on DX10 games. There have even been some leaks with DX10 video. Also, the DX10 hardware standards should all be complete so hardware may already be Vista ready and DX10 compatible. But, until Vista is released, and DX10 code iron clad, I would not want to announce being DX10 compatible as a manufacturer.
BTW, DX10 is looking very cool, especially the intial works from CryTech. All physical objects, like buildings have physical boundaries. So, an artillery barrage, like the ones in BF2, would also take out the buildings. Games will definitely take a leap forward.
And, I am hoping for a 32 pipe core. 24 pipes may not sell well, but if they come in at $500 and keep pace with the x1900xtx, then that is not all bad, either. Hope the spec rumors from the Taiwan sites hold true (32 pipes, 650 core, 1600 1.1 ns memory for the GTX and 24 pipes, 450 core and 1320 1.4 ns memory for the GT)
I doubt that highly do to the fact that Google only has 5 good pics of salt mines:p:Quote:

Check out the DX10iness....
I wouldnt even play the storyline... Id just run over building...

the crytek demo is INSANE, saw it a while agoQuote:

thanks :D Doesn't seem much faster than a 6800gs however :( might as well not wait :( Hopefully it overclocks really well and the 1.8GHz a64 was holding it back? hmm gonna register chilehw forums, gotta improve my spanish, kinda lackluster :(Quote:
