Things that will survive a nuclear holocaust: roaches, Lemmy Kilmister and G92.

I like how small and tiny it is... need a cute little cooler now.

**Behemot** · 03-04-2010, 02:26 PM

I just was thinking about those old Radeon 2600 X2's and GeForce 8600 X2's few days ago and than this

But what did you expect? Renamed G92 based models are the only NVIDIA cards for on market for a few months now. Fermi could be just low-number thing, where many vendors will get only few of them (or none), they have to sell something, no?

I don't think this got anything to do with the number of Fermi to the pertness, or such. This can be the last push to sell some old junk before the new GPUs with more die shrinks hits the marked and makes those G92 to look like a kilometer based technology

, compared to.

Its just wierd though that they would completely stop selling dual pcb models then make a single pcb model. You guys think you could have this and a gx2 together?

Also, what do you think the maximum amount of gpu's this would support for a f@h system? 8?

You win one internetz

You just made me laugh so hard I nearly forgot to breathe! Maybe I should press charges for attempt of murder?

Come on Zotac, you can do it

Something like that would have drool over it 24/7

We need something like this:

I'll let you know when its released, would love to have a farm of these little guys.

Seems like a nice folding card. By the way, does anyone know if physix can run on multiple videocards at the same time? This might be a nice dedicated physix card for us ATI users, if the price is right.

AFAIK physx will only run on one gpu. Tried to run a 9800gx2 as a physx card and would only use one.

**revenant** · 03-04-2010, 08:26 PM

I like this trend in making cards more "stout" rather than long.. good stuff!

**lkiller123** · 03-04-2010, 09:08 PM

If they wanna make this ground-breaking, they should make it tri-SLId G92. That will work.

And when the

are they releasing this?

**urgrandpasdog** · 03-04-2010, 11:00 PM

Looks like a good card for folding and other CUDA applications.

I wish more companies made tall cards like this, any enthusiast case has plenty of room for it, and it gives them space for beefy power delivery circuitry. Plus, cards can be a bit shorter to avoid the "card getting in the way of hard drives" problem.

**knopflerbruce** · 03-08-2010, 04:36 PM

G92 is one of the best GPUs ever made, even though I don't like rebranding I don't mind developing new stuff like this. If they're not expensive as hell, I'm SURE I'll buy at least one of these

Just wondering how to cool it... 2x Maze 4, perhaps?

**saaya** · 03-09-2010, 01:44 AM

this will be quite a collectors item, trust me...

i think i will buy one

i really like G92... clocks very well, performs very well, very power efficient...
one of the best gpus of all times, hands down!

its only dx10, but besides that... it should be an awesome card if priced right...
very nice move from zotac imo!

but they are quite late... they really should have hurried and released this at the end of last year...

i think for 199-250$ this would be a great or good card, but my guess is that itll come at 299$ and there it will fail...

i bet next gen consoles will be using g92...

yeah but the biggest 10.1 part, the gts240, is slower than a G92 aka GTS250...

mmhhhh dont think so... if nvidia would have managed to port it to 40nm, then yes, it would be very interestng... veeery interesting... even lower power, possibly higher clocks, lower cost... and 10.1 support... but g92 is only 10.0, not even 10.1... and its 55nm...

oh god, no, where's the next gen in that?

they have to use some 5970 level graphics power... or 10 years from now, we'll still be playing games with the same graphics as today, with 500 FPS and a new card release promising 600FPS instead of 500FPS is going to get us all excited...

pphhhhhhhh

I thought they leastwise shrinked it, too. So a pure rebrand? God it's worse I thought

**saaya** · 03-09-2010, 10:22 AM

gts250 is a pure rebrand, its 100% a 9800gtx+

and 5970 perf in a console? what for?
most people who have or will buy a new console have 720p displays, even a 5850 would be overpowered for that...
sure, you would have lots of headroom to let game devs come up with weird and intense new effects, but think of the costs and power consumption... i think next gen consoles will be based on second gen dx11 hardware, some 28nm mainstream-entry level stuff... cheap, low power, good dx11 perf... that should last a couple of years...

**munim** · 03-09-2010, 11:06 AM

Man, I gotta say that the G92 has some serious staying power. 4850 levels of performance aren't really bad at all, put it on a newer processing node, give it a gig of gddr5 and overclock the hell out of it. You could squeeze out one more generation Nvidia!

well, they tried...

but somehow porting it to 40nm failed...
