G80 Pics

I don't know if it just me but I am somewhat sceptical. It kind of reeks of the x1950xtx to me.

I would much rather wait a while and see how it compares to say a single 7900gtx or a gx2 before making any decision.

any idea price wise?

LoadsaMoney · 29 Sep 2006 at 20:31

Im sure Gibbo mentioned around £450 somwehere.

Thats me done, im out, im not putting up with this, pure insane, a nuclear power station just to run yer graphics card, no thanks you can **** right off.

Wouldn't mind seeing the size of the core under there.

Yeah bugger that, you'll be sitting down to yer PC and have everyone after yer blood, as you took the whole neighbourhood out trying to power yer card, be like that time the whole of London went out, someone was testing a G80 i bet.

They say we have 10 years to sort global warming out once the g80 and the r600 launch knock that figure down to 5

Bet it uses less power than R600...

so there

LoadsaMoney · 29 Sep 2006 at 22:22

Probably will, we all know what ATi's like for power, the R600 will take the whole of the of the national grid out probably.

I bet R600 has got about 4x PCI-E connectors on it, can't wait for these, gona be hilarious.

HighlandeR · 29 Sep 2006 at 22:29

Cant wait....

easyrider · 29 Sep 2006 at 22:31

will the g80 do hdr and aa at the same time?

fornowagain · 29 Sep 2006 at 22:33

Looks like the GT and GTX (WC?) versions. Must be over 200w for two PCI-E connectors. IIRC PCI-E V1 is up to 225W and up 300W on PCI-e V2

The leaked spec said it could do HDR+AA? The leaked spec also said 768Mb ram, which looks right with 12x64 chips. And its got a buzzer on it?

New PCI-E standards

http://www.pcisig.com/specifications/pciexpress/review_zone#gce

PCI-E slot 75w
PCI-E slot plus 1 PSU PEG connector 150W
PCI-E slot plus 2 PSU PEG connectors 225W

PCI-E 2.0 slot 150w
PCI-E 2.0 slot plus 1 PSU PEG connector 225W
PCI-E 2.0 slot plus 2 PSU PEG connector 300W

I think you already knew the answer to this ^^ but do you know if it will run cooler, consume less power, or give off less heat than it predecessor. *yawn*

I'm haveing flashbacks about the FX5800 Ultra. :rolleyes:

Gashman · 30 Sep 2006 at 17:55

actually R600 is supposed to require less power than the X1900 series, same as the xenos, that doesn't require some 1KW PSU or anything even close nor does it require 2 or more PCI-E connectors

250W for the R600.

Hope this isn't what the future is going to look like for video cards. The size, the weight, the power consumption, the psu requirements, hopefully the mid-range versions are a bit easier to live with.

I'm with LoadsaMoney, if this is the future of graphics cards then I will be getting as much out of my X1900XT as possible then probably buy myself a Nintendo Wii.
