ATi with the new, NVIDIA with the old.

Gigabyte jumps the gun with 40nm

According to our info, Nvidia's GT 220, 40nm GT216-300 GPU, will be officially announced in about three weeks time. The Gigabyte GT 220 ended up online as apparently Gigabyte "misunderstood" Nvidia's directions, but in three weeks, most, if not every, Nvidia partner will show its own versions.

The GT 220, and others, should be Nvidia's first 40nm DX10.1 chips meant for retail. As you already know, the G, GT and GTS 2x0 parts for OEM have been listed a while back. The Gigabyte GT 220 works at 720MHz for the core and comes with 1GB of GDDR3 memory clocked at 1600MHz and paired up with a 128-bit memory interface. It has 48 stream processors with a shader clock set at 1568MHz. It comes with DVI, D-Sub and HDMI outputs as well as non-reference cooling solution.

These are, of course, the clocks that Gigabyte will use on its GT 220 OC version, so the rest might have lower or even higher clocks. The card should hit retail with an affordable price tag and there might be more cards in the same batch, but we can't yet confirm those rumours.

In any case you can expect more "non-GT 300" related info as we wait for that November 27th.

For anyone that's interested in a new release of old tech on 40nm

damn nvidia. damn them for doing exactly the same thing ATi did with the 4770.

Yea they should be busier playing catchup, that seeing how long they can draw out old tech

 

[Tom|Nbk]

Which card is this the renamer for, article doesn't say ?

Lost track tbh. Bookies taking bets on "How many times can NVIDIA rebrand old tech"

 

[Tom|Nbk]

tbh it would actually be very funny if nvidia starting hyping up 10.1 now

No no no the latest news is that DX11 is pointless, yet after doing a little poo after seeing what the 5800 can do Jen Hsung accelerated GT300 development.

3 weeks for the Assassins Creed Dx10.1 patch then.

Haha. I'm looking forward to the new review then from HardOCP who are on the NVIDIA payroll I'm sure entitled "NVIDIA GT220 Review" with one game...Assasins Creed in DX10.1

 

[Tom|Nbk]

Im not impressed with this answer to the 5800's :/

Yea shame isn't it..

Is this any better?

Nvidia said in a statement, “The gaming world has moved to dynamic realism, which depicts actual physical movement more realistically than ever before. For example, the No. 1 PC game coming out next week is ‘Batman: Arkham Assyum,’ which takes advantage of graphics plus physics to give it extraordinary realism. Because we support GPU-accelerated physics, our $129 card that’s shipping today is faster than their new RV870 (code name for new AMD chips) that sells for $399.”

This canny be the answer the the 58xx series.

We know it isn't what I posted above is.

 

[Tom|Nbk]

ATi seem to put more money into accelerating technology, NVIDIA into the back pockets of game developers. I don't really get it. Is it worth it to them anymore?

We are going massively off topic here so can we get back to old tech guys.

 

[Tom|Nbk]

nvidia already had 40nm mobile parts did they not?

Yea I think they did to be fair!

 

[Tom|Nbk]

yes they did and in far greater numbers than ati had 4770's.

Shame NVIDIA didn't offer a 40nm desktop product now 6 months ago though isnt it
