the release date on the newest Nvidia card is sometime in june. in believe it iis called the 7800 GU and it is only another upgraded version of the most recent 7800 (gtx?) Well, that is all.

(would that count as news bucks as it is dealing with news?)

[stpain]

Lol the new card your talking about doesnt have a name yet and its using the new 80 core. before that the 7900 gets released if im right... Or that is the 7900 with the 80 core... It will be around june

[llamapoopy]

it is a 7800 GU or mehbeh it is GS

[stpain]

We heard that G80 will be in time for launch in June during Computex and the process technology is likely to be 80nm at TSMC. In the recent statement, NVIDIA has said that they will be backing the 80nm "half-node" process by TSMC where it allows reduction of die size by 19%. We have previously mentioned that G80 is likely to take on the Unified Shader approach and supports Shader Model 4.0. G80 is likely to be paired up with the Samsung GDDR4 memories reaching a speed of 2.5Gbps. As for ATi, the next generation R600 is slated for launch end of this year according to the roadmap we have seen and the process technology is 65nm. It seems that the leaked specs of the R600 that surfaced in June last year is pretty likely.

According to Xpentor, NVIDIA G80 will make ATI stumble on April. Quad SLI itself can be implemented on a single card with two chips solution because it will carry the first dual core GPU ever with the support of DirectX10 and Shader Model 4.0. The development of G80 is also mentioned as being running very intensive since NVIDIA's acquisition over ULi. As for the upcoming G71, there will be 32pipes, increase in ROPs and a little speed bump over the core clock.

The dont take the same serie number AKA 7900 serie for there new core. So it will be highly unlikey that the come up with that card on june as there new G80 core is ready with DX10 support... Also its dual-core ehm drools

[llamapoopy]

i cant wait for it to come out, i am actually getting my new comp at around that time. (SLI!!!!!!!) hehehe

[stpain]

Lol suddenly changing subject the 7900 that will be upcoming card runs off the G71 Which almost beats the ati X1900XTX in every test

[llamapoopy]

[stpain]

We have also heard that GeForce 7900 GTX will win Radeon X1900 XTX in most benchmarks so we shall eagerly wait for the launch on March 9th at CeBIT.

[Tault_admin]

[stpain]

But i dont want a average good sytstem I want a system which must be seen as a average system in 4 years

[Tault_admin]
