Can you tell us what the cooling options for the BFG cards are like because I have seen some with the "hybrid" air+water cooling blocks built in. Got any pics of the BFG GTX ? :eek:

Hi there

They are all air-cooled, no hybrid cooler.....

I have lots of high-res pics but I would be shot if I posted them. Our product is all setup and ready to go live on the 8th. :)
 
Gibbo, whats your comment on this EVGA step up fiasco?

If EVGA arn't allowing step up for any product in their range then its false advertising on either your or their part.

(IANAL)

But still, its a absolutle rip off if the GX2 guys can't get G80.

Oh go on

Not even a tiny little pic... how about an artist's impression sketch?
Charcoal rending?
Watercolour?
Informed doodle?
Pic from your cameraphone?

You could post them, and then take them down 2 minutes later ;)

Doubt it, why would they upgrade?

Faster DX9 card, as usual. The X1900/7900 series didn't do that.

While he's kicking some butt back at HQ, could he send us some hi res pix of EVGA's offerings in the G80 realm :D As a sort of compensation caused to those forum members who have suffered trauma from being told they couldn't step up... ;)

I thought it was quiet in here today
 
Given that the GTX effectively has 512mb+256mb and a 256bit+128bit memory interface (if I remember correctly) and the GTS with second one reduced - what purpose does this extra memory serve? Does it serve some additional purposes (perhaps such as physics) or something else? I've yet to see something that clarifies what it actually does or is it just additional memory for the card itself and serves no new purpose? :confused:

£460 to £500 sounds okay to me, when you consider VAT, UK price-hike, and limited availability.

For those that don't want to pay this much for a video card, you can (as many of you seem so fond of telling everyone) simply wait for the inevitable reductions in price.

Well I will be paying $700 for mine next week...367 quid including taxes.
 
Just found this on another site with regards to the GTS and GTX specs..

Sources in Taiwan have confirmed that Nvidia's upcoming GPU GeForce 8800 (formerly codenamed G80) is designed to fully support Microsoft's DirectX 10 Shader Model 4.0 technology.

Nvidia is scheduled to officially launch the new GPU on November 8, the sources said.

According to the Digitimes publication, Nvidia will release two versions of the GeForce 8800, the GeForce 8800 GTX and the GeForce 8800 GTS. The models will vary in features such as the number of stream processors (128 and 96, respectively), core clock (575MHz and 500MHz) and shader-engine clock (1350MHz and 1200MHz). Both versions will be SLI ready, with 16x full-screen antialiasing and 128-bit floating-point high dynamic-range (HDR) lighting technology.

Using Nvidia's reference designs, makers are expected to roll out graphics cards equipped with a recommended 768MB or 640MB of on-board memory for the GeForce 8800 GTX and the GeForce 8800 GTS, respectively. With a different memory clock (900MHz versus 800MHz) and memory interface (384-bit versus 320-bit), the cards will vary in memory bandwidth (86.4GB/s versus 64GB/s) and texture fill rate (36.8 billion versus 24 billion texels per second), according to the sources.
