What kind of PSU will be necessary to run that monster ?

( single 8800 I mean ..

)

8800 GTX ---------450 Watts & 30A +12v.
8800 GTS ---------400 Watts & 26A +12v.

Why are they still using analogue power regulation?

Also

thats a BBBBIIIGGGG card

**milkcafe** · 10-24-2006, 06:03 AM

they said that the 8800GTS (not GTX ) is 1.8 times faster than the X1950XTX in the 3DMark06

http://we.pcinlife.com/viewthread.ph...&extra=&page=1

ASUS EN8800GTS/HTDP/640M , is: USD $410 (FOB).
ASUS EN8800GTX/HTDP/768M , is: USD $540 (FOB).

8800GTS 320-bit 640MB GDDR3 @ 500MHz/1800MHz
3DMark06 8800+

8800GTX 384-bit 768MB GDDR3 @ 575MHz/1800MHz
3DMark06 11800+

Anyone else seen the note in the inquirer that says nvidia has told all its partners it won't be allowing overclocking on the G80 due to high returns on the 7900gt? Probably more likely due to low yields though

.

Could see coolbits etc being blocked, but surely a bios mod would work? Just be a pain in the ass to figure out your max clocks....

Change clock, flash bios, boot up, 3dmark, change clock, flash bios, 3dmark etc etc...

Mind you ATI tried it and failed already...I'm sure in time that some clever sod will figure out how to do it in software or a driver level hack.

X6800 overclocked @ 3600MHz (no tweaks-nothing) - 2 x 8800GTXs default = 15500Marks in 2k6.......BETA bioses - BETA Drivers = it's gonna be faster...
I think that these are some bad news for ATI for the time been.......Dumn it....

yeh :

NVIDIA forbids factory overclocking of G80

NVIDIA has told all its partners that it will not allow for factory overclocking of it's cards. NVIDIA wants vendors to stick to the core and memory clocks that it sets, to prevent fiascos like what happened to the 7900GT. Overclocked editions of the card caused a very high return rate of the cards, and NVIDIA just does not want that to happen again.

Wow, I am really worried one of those (let alone 2) will not fit im my rigs case

GTX looks like 2-3 inches longer than my 7800gtx

**rodman** · 10-24-2006, 07:20 AM

Look at the size of the die on that baby

My waterblock will never fit that

**madgravity34** · 10-24-2006, 09:30 AM

That is such a damn huge card.

@hipro5

You already playing with the new hardware huh? I guess we shouldnt be surprised lol. I wanna see them all under ln2 now!

Just out of curiosity, what kind of stock oc's are you getting and also what temps do you get on the stock coolers @ load?

**Gam3Ra** · 10-24-2006, 09:56 AM

**Timmay** · 10-24-2006, 11:35 AM

Yes, an oldy but a goodie.

I like the bottom right hand corner

It's about 2 - 3cm longer than a motherboard....

They are not mine.....I just happent to be in the place they had them and test them at noon......
They had about 67*C measured with a laser digital thermometer at the back of the PCB.....So it might be about 75*C+ with stock heatsinks running 2k6...
The heatsink is -copy/paste- of the ATI ones (pulling from inside of the box and through the air at the back of the case).....The heatsink ALSO cools down the Core's Power Mos-Fets.....They were on a reference NVIDIA based chipset mobo.....

**ochw** · 10-24-2006, 02:08 PM

i take it we should see some new world record with this card

**guess2098** · 10-24-2006, 02:21 PM

i am holding testing pics for about 2 to 3 weeks by now.... i hope tomorrow is 7th nov ...

IS that when NDA is up? I take it it is.

In the meantime I will be saving money for a new PSU. The 510w Turbocool just is not enough for R600.

you don't need to get a new system PSU

get one or two of these it's perfect (single unit handles 2xX1900XT cards in Xfire no problems at all)

http://www.thermaltake.com/product/P...0099/w0099.asp

i'll buy two of these i reckon

or just follow nVidia recommendation:
450W PSU for computer system with 8800GTX
800W PSU for 8800GTX SLI...

was there some part of that which was too complicated to understand??

LOL what's with all the smartarses around here

if you had some grey matter you would work it all out easily

**Gnome** · 10-25-2006, 09:16 AM

8800gts

note the lack of dual link SLI...

**PiLsY** · 10-25-2006, 07:51 PM

Wonder what that separate processor is near the back plate. Its blanked out in the picture on the page before...

Separate video processing unit maybe? Looks like its near where all the tvout stuff is normally.

Another take on nvidia's statement about no overclocking...it could just mean no factory overclocked cards looking at the phrasing?
