Found an interesting post here, take it with a pinch of salt... Link

G80 specs (to be named 8800GTX)

* 65nm Architecture
* SM4.0 with the bundled unified shaders
* DirectX 10 support
* 48 Unified Shader Units
* 950mhz Core Speed
* GDDR4 @ 1.9Ghz
* 512bit Mem Controller
* 512MB (controller will be able to handle up to 1Gb over 8 modules)
* Quad SLI Support
* Under Windows Vista, G80 may have Physics Processing capabilities
* Predicted 3DMark06 Score (based on a 4800+ X2): 9500 - 10000

Release Date: Expected Around Early November (near PS3 Launch)

G90 specs (to be named 9800GTX)

* 55nm Architecture
* Native Support for Dual-core Alternative Cards (Dual-Core G90)
* Over 1 Ghz Core Speed
* 64 Unified Shader Units
* GDDR4 XDR2 @ over 2Ghz
* Quad SLI Support
* May have a dedicated PPU on Board
* Predicted 3DMark06 Score for a Single Core G90 (based on a 4800+ X2): 14000 - 16000

Release Date: Expected Mid 2007


Those potential scores are just well... sick. And while this of course may only be speculation, those results and specs sure do look realistic for a next-gen part. Note the possiblity of dedicated PPU on the G90, now THATS what im talking about, an integrated PPU solution without the need for an extra card... none of this seperate Ageia crap that is currently polluting the market with it's sheer uselessness and silly price.

*licks lips*

:D

Are those expected 3DMark06 scores? If so then :eek: if they're expected 3DMark05 scores then i'd still be like --> :eek:

Looks impressive, early November isn't too bad, i might wait.
 
That dedicated PPU should be HavocFX...even though it sounds sort of real..we got to be suspicious of the source :)

If those stats for the G90 are real, then my graphics card upgrading should wait just a little longer :)

(woot I got my picture now :) im a gangster ^^)
 
You got these figures from some post on a forum in australia, buy some bloke who knows someone in Nvidia... Take with a bucket of salt I reckon.

No they are 100% accurate, honest guv!
 
Looks like pure speculation to me. I wouldn't imagine they will go to 65nm, perhaps drop a half node but that's about it. Also, most people seem to think it will not use a totally unified architecture, again vertex and geometry shaders will be prob unified but that's about it.

Sorry ot be a noob but what is PPU? :confused:
Click to expand...

"A PPU (Physics Processing Unit) is a support CPU used to handle the calculations of physics, mainly in video games. Examples of calculations a PPU can do include Rigid Body Dynamics, Collision Detection, Fluid Simulation, Soft Bodies and Fracturing of objects. One example of a PPU is the PhysX chip from Ageia."
 
Seen these before, i think you got it wrong though.

i believe the G80 is supposed to be dual core and the R600 is to have a PPU.

Will there ever be virtual reality?.. i wish.. :(
 
are these specs like the ones released for the 7900GTX which supposedly had 36 pixel processors? paaaaa, think ill sit back and wait until the actual card is released...
 
Bang goes the Ageia PhysX cards then if this is true, hope loads of ppl aint bought a one yet, now thats 2x DX10 cards already by mid 07, blimey how much DX10 stuff do they think is gona be out by then, G80 will have Vista, and then be old hat as it will be superseeded by the G90 which will still have Vista, and maybe 1x game, then that will be old hat, superseeded by .... which may have 2x/3x games to run before being old and superseeded... :eek:

They are releasing cards way to fast, by the time 09 comes there will porbably have been 10+ cards been and gone, and they will only have about 5-10 DX10 games to show for em. :D

lol, why would NV go so quickly from 8 series to 9 series?!!!!! We're still only on 7 series now, and probably will be for quite a few more months!!!! Seems like an over-specced 'rumour' - it's not even realistic to me!
