It is possiblefor the g92 gts to run there stock (I haven't seen any non modded gt though, don't know where you've seen that), but the thing is, g92's yields were bad enough on 65nm, I don't see how they'll be that much better on 55nm that they can run stock 800mhz (I predict probably around 700mhz for the 9900gt and perhaps 750, top of 775 for the 9900gtx). Also why would g92b get gddr5? You said it yourself, the reason why nvidia didn't bother with gddr5 for gt200 (aside from more ROPs, but they could have changed their design to work around that) is because ATI would get just about all the GDDR5 in the channel. So they'd be hurting their yields even more to go with GDDR5, I just don't see it happening.Originally Posted by BenchZowner
I'm not firing up my calculator, but let's say that G92b will arrive clocked at ( I'm not saying things that originate from any source, this is pure speculation, not even well thought)
Core 800MHz
SPs 1998MHz
Mem GDDR5-3200
Which is feasible considering that a 65nm 8800GT/8800GTS512/9800GTX can run those clocks ( 780 to 800MHz core depending on your luck ) ( except the RAM obviously ) with a decent air cooler ( HR03-GT ).
There's also a chance ( not that much, but still possible ) that nVIDIA has touted the SPs and the MUL is working "properly" on G92b ( it didn't work most of the time on G8x/G92/G94 ), which results in even better numbers.
We just have to wait a tad to find out ( for the info, the card won't be out before August more than likely )
When's the launch date? Is it before or after gt200?
