G70 next nvidea gpu?

**Rancidelephant** · 02-24-2005, 01:01 PM

ok in the latest leaked nvidia drivers (75.90) there was a strange input in the dll

NVIDIA_G70.DEV_0090.1 = "NVIDIA G70"
NVIDIA_G70.DEV_0091.1 = "NVIDIA G70 "
NVIDIA_G70.DEV_0092.1 = "NVIDIA G70 "
NVIDIA_G70.DEV_0093.1 = "NVIDIA G70 "
NVIDIA_G70.DEV_0094.1 = "NVIDIA G70 "
NVIDIA_G70.DEV_009D.1 = "NVIDIA G70GL"
NVIDIA_G70.DEV_009E.1 = "NVIDIA G70GL "

this is the codename for nvidia's next gen gpu and it will be based on a whole new architecture. just seems a bit wierd why nvidia put this in these drivers.
very interesting anyway!

Didnt see this anywhere else ....

note. shamelessly stolen from someone else

Great. And my X850 XT is already in transit.

**perry_78** · 02-24-2005, 01:04 PM

Interesting or weird in any case!

and to think how tight lipped nvidia has been while we have been given hints by ati. If the nv48 and nv50 were cancelled, could this be the nv70? I did think nvidia was gonna rely on their sli to compete but even that may not be enough now so they need two nv70s to crush one r520

How did you arrive at the startling conclusion that the G70 is the nv70 which you will need two of to beat one r520 when to the best of my knowlage we dont have exact data on the r520 and all we know about the G70 is that its in a driver

Im completely lost my your mental gymnastics

G70... interesting.

i was almost wondering if (a few years down the road), if there would be a geforce 9800. i suppose if they are taking a different naming route now, then my question is answered.

G70, G80, sounds like a mobile phone, more then a graphics card...

and i wonder why it's G70, as opposed to G78, as the top nvidia card has usually carried an 8... (except for that one time... where they screwed up

).

Man, that was the funniest line I've seen in a while.

Anyway, I look forward to reading more information, as it becomes available, on both the ATi and nVIDIA offerings. The next few months should be very exciting.

**DudeMiester** · 02-24-2005, 03:50 PM

I can hear it now, "Can I upgrade my G5 to a G70? Will it make Word faster, and enable a rich multi-media experiance?"

im not sure if the irony of a mis-spelling because im lost is actually funnyer than the original line :P I was going to edit it but i dont think ill bother

**conrad.maranan** · 02-24-2005, 03:55 PM

Nah. The mental gymnastics part is what got me rollin'. Sorry for the off-topic posts.

**saaya** · 02-24-2005, 04:05 PM

i dont know about this... i think its marketing... nvidia did it before with nv47 wich appeared in inf files and then dissappeared and nobody ever heard of it again

ati will release a new card soon and nvidia knows it, so they probably did this to calm the nvidia fans down and make them think nvidia will have a new card ready soon as well, so they dont buy that new ati card...

I was enticed to be the first person to post the G70 discovery two days ago but the lack of info hindered me. And including the fact that the Nv48 is still on those drivers as well.

Oh and Rancid Elephant, where the heck have you been man, u joined up when the X800s were coming out then left abruptly ???? lol 132 posts in 2 years :O !!!!

**Rancidelephant** · 02-24-2005, 05:33 PM

I was around WELL before the x800s were coming out ... i was hiding

Other than posts of encouragement i dont generally have alot to say ... no astounding overclocks or pearls of wisdom nobody else knows. My pc seems to spend more time broken then it does running too, A64 in 2 days though so you may see a thread in XO in a couple of days

Ah !!!! Gothya, so Rancid's comeback will be complete with the extreme rig LOL Not a bad strategy. But in hiding for THAT long...wow.

This is the 6800U mobile unit as found in Dell laptops it seems .. see anandtech review using the 75 series drivers so what else could it be.

So slightly disappointing ....

**Jamo** · 02-25-2005, 03:31 AM

tis a great mobile graphics card tho, judging by the reviews - finally something to challenge its desktop rival, i just wonder how much they'll charge for it

**Napoleonic** · 02-25-2005, 05:46 AM

doesn't make sense to me, G70?

**perkam** · 02-25-2005, 06:00 AM

Yup, cus the tri-slot cooling solution will make it a little bit bigger than the Prius, meaning it comes under FDA regulations LOL

Yeah pretty weird name huh.

Perkam

**perry_78** · 02-25-2005, 07:12 AM

Yeah, just saw the 6800 Ultra GO being announced. Supposedly it'll do 5000 in 3dMark05

**perkam** · 02-25-2005, 07:21 AM

Yup and by the time it reaches 5.1k your notebook will double as a food warmer that gets rids of trans fats automatically LOL. No way something that needs dual slot cooling is gonna perform any good in 1 inch of space lol.

This is so funny, I'd like to see ATi try an X850 mobile...."The World's first Vacuum-Cleaner Notebook integated with Dustbuster technology !!!!" ROFL

Its now a little longer ... ordered a s754 not s939 ... back it goes

**perkam** · 02-25-2005, 07:31 AM

You can always upgrade to a 3400+ or 3700+ later so its not so bad. Though if the cost was an issue, an AS8+775 combo may end up costing less than most 939 configs, especially the ones with nf4/55/sli

Perkam

**Rancidelephant** · 02-25-2005, 07:35 AM

no i have all the bits ... i just need a s939 cpu not the s754 one

that and my a64 cpu kit fot the GT

/edit its been packed and sent for shipping ... im getting excited weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

**nCrusader** · 02-25-2005, 11:11 AM

G70 = GeForce 7 (?)

Getting kinda tired of all the super highend videocards, to expensive and you can't find them for the MSRP before next generation of cards are paper-launched. Long live cards like 6600GT!

**Napoleonic** · 02-26-2005, 12:53 AM

usually Nvidia had their project to be codenamed NVxx not Gxx
