GeForce 9900 GTX & GTS Slated For July Launch

**Leeghoofd** · 05-22-2008, 10:25 AM

And yet you forget the Oc'ability... you have to compare a pre OC'ed 512 with the 9800GTX to get same performance out of the box... , for benching yeah I would push ram at 2200mhz, but I would never run them at those speeds 24/7 I had for clients...

Each generation of cards can be an evolution or revolution... let's hope ATI and Nvidia can bring something like 20% on top of the current high end products...

Intel's i740 is well up there... after all, it's the father of Intel's GMA.

**gcardinal** · 05-23-2008, 01:32 AM

I am about to get new mobo... what do you see will be most "powerfull" - next SLI or CF ?
2 x 280
or
2 x 4780x2 ?

**BenchZowner** · 05-23-2008, 02:07 AM

SLI.
2-way or 3-way ( that depends on your credit

)

**PurpleMonkey910** · 05-23-2008, 02:29 AM

ive had it with SLI i bought 2 9800GX2's what a waste of £850 SLI enabled little performance increases, im sticking with 1 card from now on.

**adamsleath** · 05-23-2008, 02:52 AM

updating graphics: the horror.........the horror...

**RaZz!** · 05-23-2008, 04:21 AM

till now we only saw pics and most info of the gtx 280. what about gtx 260? i'm more interested in the 260 due to power consumption and price. and ideas?

**Milos-stancene** · 05-23-2008, 04:24 AM

Does anyone have an idea about power consumption of this two cards?

**clonez** · 05-23-2008, 05:35 AM

around 200w load

**Milos-stancene** · 05-23-2008, 05:53 AM

It means 500w of good PSU can handel it ?

**NH|Delph1** · 05-23-2008, 05:57 AM

Rumor says 250W for GTX280, 170W for Radeon HD 4870.

Thats the TDP(Thermal Design Power), but it doesn't mean the card(s) use 250W/170W load.

My guess is around 200W full load for the GTX280, and 140W load for the HD4870.

**Milos-stancene** · 05-23-2008, 06:03 AM

E6600 2.4Ghz @ 3,1
2x1 Gigs 800Mhz
7900GTX 512Mb -) G 280
Raptor
ENERMAX 500 Watt
.........................
Is it enough for one G 280?

Possibly yes, but you should consider buying a PSU that can offer a maneuvering margin to one that is pushed to the limit.

Only if you didn't buy from EVGA or XFX or live in a country not covered by a step-up policy. Otherwise get those suckers on Ebay NOW. In the past haven't clear photos like this and real looking info meant less than 6 weeks before actual release? When they are farther from release Nvidia is usually able to keep a better lid on such leaks. So maybe we are talking a mid to late June release. I'm a bit nervous since my step-up expires at the end of June. This is twice in a row that Nvidia has done this with the GX2 cards. 'Fool me twice' and all that. I think in a couple of years when they try this again very few people wiill be biting. They should release the GX2 cards within months of a new architecture instead of just before EOL.

**clonez** · 05-23-2008, 07:23 AM

@ Milos-stancene

shure, even a very good 400w psu can handle that (only very few, though)

edit: aah, youve got an enermax 500w too

*looksonbox* hmmm, those 12v lines are supposed to bring 384 watts (dont believe that, though), so it shouldnt be a problem (no guarantee)

the "über" cards from nv since the 7xxx series allways where "near EOL" products, milking out the last drop of the enthusiasts.

**Celcius** · 05-23-2008, 07:30 AM

I've been using a single 8800GTX @ 630/1900 since nov '06 and now I'm considering an upgrade. This card still handles all games with ease, but I'm thinking about picking up a second one for SLI. 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...

**clonez** · 05-23-2008, 07:53 AM

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
