Fake site, fake benches -.-

But these were leaked too early .

SM2.0 Score : 8847
HDR/SM3.0 Score : 10612
CPU Score : 5074

Total : 21381

They forgot to add the X2 after the 4870

100% fake.

[DilTech]

What a Big lol if that get confirmed.

It could be similar to how the G80 was dual-chip, main gpu and then the NVIO chip.

[Isaac MM]

Do you think the 9900 gtx will outperform the 9800gx2 in not so high resolutions like 1680x1050 or 1920x1200?

[Richard Dower]

I need a 10900 card.

[dengyong]

If you read further in that thread, the VR-zone administrator says he has the schematics for the 9900GTX (or GT200) cooler, and is offering to put them up if ppl ask.
I'm no expert but would that give any clues as to what the pcb design might look like? I'm pretty sure that a dual-pcb card would be obvious straight away. A dual-chip (single pcb) however, might be a little more difficult to make out.
BenchZowner seems to know his stuff, maybe he can shed some light?

edit: here's the link to the "news" thread: http://forums.vr-zone.com/showthread...=268638&page=2

Why doesn't this guy (the vr admin) just post the schematics if he has them ?

Does he think people are going to say, no don't post them, we don't want to see ?

Is he asking people to beg him ? Sounds kinda asinine to me.

[adamsleath]

how many more weeeeeeeeeeeks with no proof?

some dribbles in June and some retail cards in July.

Prolly needs more tinkering with photoshop lol... hopefully the big boys here will leak some real teaser info

I don't understand why would nVidia name a GPU with a completely new core, which is supposed to be the real successor of the G80, 9900. Seeing how they named 9800GTX a card which is barely faster than the 8800GTX, this one should be the 10800GTX or something.

Where's the catch?

The whole point is to be as confusing as possible. Keep in mind they released a G92 8800GTS.So in that case it went from G80 to G92 but kept the exact same name. Not a stretch at all that 9900GTX would be G200. The fact that it confuses you is only an argument in its favor.

Well, by keeping the 9xxxx name they are either downplaying their own products or they know GT200 isn't much of an improvement over the 9800s. Somehow I doubt it's the first, so....

[MAS]

Nvidia has 1.5 million 8600GT's for sale, so there's no sence to announce new generation until AMD starts hardly beating Nvidia with 4000 series

Well, I would say that the reason they have 1.5 million 8600GT's is because they suck and no one in the right mind buys them

I would say that the majority of people buy midrange cards and don't know the difference in the first place.

While they do buy low-end and mid-range cards, most people who buy retail, are intelligent enough to ask a friend or google a bit first, and then they will see that there are a lot better cards to buy than 8600GT.
At least where I'm from.

[strange|ife]

very nice. July sure seems kinda of quick to be putting a refresh out. Or a new card all together. Let's hope they arent priced out of orbit, somewhere around 400 bucks would be fine. I almost bought the 9800GTX but decided to wait, all I have been lately is project reality, cod4 and rfactor racing. So no need for a new card

[ThunderChunky]

The point I am making is the exact opposite...that the name has nothing to do with the chipset. G80 and G92 both were 8x00 series with some cards overlapping in the exact same name (8800GTS), G92 cards are also 9x00 series, thus, there is no correlation between chipset and name anymore....and so it is no leap at all that g200 could be a 9900 series card. It's still going to have the highest number out there so it doesn't have anything to do with downplaying and you cannot make any inference about performance.

[sonofander]

I'm just thinking that if these were really gonna hit in June (a month away now) we'd probably have more info... Too bad

With Nvidia cards the information always comes close to the release date. Nvidia never makes an announcement until shortly before.

[gr8golf]

So ATI in May

Who?

Yes, but the G92 was basically a rehash of the G80, not a whole new core like the GT200 is supposed to be. I would expect Nvidia to introduce a new series for the next big thing after the 8800GTX. The 8 series and 9 series are basically the same thing right now, and associating a completely new core with older ones by sticking with the 9xxx name isn't exactly the best marketing strategy IMO.

Anyway, as long as there is a good enough increase in performance over the 8800Ultra I could care less about the name. My 7900GT is struggling nowadays...

I wouldn't really call GT200 whole new core. There's plenty borrowed from G8x/G9x from what I hear.

Then I was right

Any links on that btw? I though that GT200 would be a completely new arch.

[AliG]

that's highly unlikely gt200 would be an entirely new architecture, that takes years to happen, not just one generation. I mean ati and nvidia up 'til g80 and the r600 were just suping up their old designs until the pipeline design just simply maxed out, and I expect them to do the same this time around. But I think the r600 was designed to be a bit more modular giving ati a slight advantage but g80 was more efficient.


Who knows, all I know is that as long as the r700 and gt200 gtx or whatever it will be perform well, I'll be happy. And who ever is expecting another 100+% increase like that of g70 to g80 should be prepared to wait as my guess is that won't happen for another 2 years or so once the r600 and g80 designs are completely replaced.

Some promising rumours from Asia Some guy from PCInlife Forum has said that GT200 is GF9900 series and it is singlecore GPU. It has 512-bit memory bus and 32 ROPs but unknown number of SPs yet. 550-600W PSU recommended to run this monster It probably won`t have DX10.1 support but only DX10.
But the most important thing is about it`s performance which is supposed to be muuuuuch greater than GF8800GTX/GF9800GTX and even GF9800GX2. He has said that GF9900GTX in SLI mode runs Crysis smoothly in 2560x1600 4xAA and Very High details!!
Single card should allow to play Crysis in 1920x1200,Very high details and 4xAA!!!!

Only i can say is if it`s true it is a so much powerful GPU and maybe even more powerful than G80 when was released 1,5 years ago.

PS. I hope these info is true.

PS2. These info is from "Phk" who is reliable source. (at least he was right about G80 and G9x specs)

That's some nice info, Crysis @ 1920x1200 4xAA
