anyone noticed the 280gtx benching of kingpin?

this cards are monsters, 760 on air and nearly 1ghz core clock and 2ghz shader clock @ ln2.

I said IT sucks!!!

SIGH

Any idea about CPU used ? Ram, drivers... Yes drivers look at Vince statement : I hear these aren't even the final drivers yet with the extra physX muscle.

P.S. I find it especially ironic that people in Europe cannot watch it.

I can

I'll prolly wait for the GT-200b, 256SP (vs 240 for GTX280), 55nm, good possibility of higher clocks, Q3 2008.

The GT200 uses 10x24SP clusters, so have fun waiting, since it's not possible . Don't post uninformed speculation as fact, that's how silly rumors snowball .

sounds like a logical enuf guess however....like exactly what nv have been doing over the past months with refreshes...

not really enuf to justify upgrading to, just enuf to whack a different label on, and probly reduce production costs aswell.

[GoldenTiger]

We shall see.

Saw your post pre-edit, maybe I will go for an eVGA to have a step-up just in case .

Up on OcUK for all us people who are in the UK.

Here's hardocp...

BFG Tech GeForce GTX 280 OC & GTX 260

[Macadamia]

We shall see.

Simply put otherwise, no.


GT200 uses a special method for fast verification of shader logic- verify 1 cluster, then duplicate all over the chip.

They are not going to change the cluster configuration at all. Either its 240 or 264... etc.



OTOH looks like the 4850 CF is going to roll up, roll down, and repeatedly smear the GTX 260 to something akin to marshmallows chewed.

[Anth Seebel]

Interesting, perhaps the number is incorrect. We shall see.
