Any word on whether these will support SLI?

I would *think* that they will

OT: Tom|Nbk, do you go on ukcs css servers? I swear I've seen your username there..... :confused:

They will, why would they want to cut of a massive market segment who would want the 512mb version.

They will undoubtedly but how long after the initial release? 3 months maybe more?

(not trying to be difficult just trying to give a little guidance)

lay-z-boy · 25 Jul 2007 at 23:29

Well the gts 640 and the gtx 768 were released together weren't they?

So i would expect a gtx 1gb, gts 512mb with another revision with less ram or less clocks/pipes.

I guess the question is, what else will get crippled for the GTS version? Lower clocks presumably, maybe 384bit memory interface too?

Margaret · 25 Jul 2007 at 23:33

I'll believe this when more info surfaces.

This raises the question, will we finally see a 256 bit bus on the to-be 9600gt/s?

Did Nvidia announce this or was just "magically" found by xbitlabs? I find that card hard to believe, and personally, think it's fake.

Jokester · 25 Jul 2007 at 23:38

Strikes me that it's fake as well, I still reckon G90 is the GTX.

ive seen several articles on this and a dual chip 8800 design also 8950 i think it was called its exciting stuff. everyone knows 8800 really wont cut the mustard maxing out dx 10 games partially due to terrible coding of games (but a select few every year optimized properly)

my 8800 just about cuts it for me so its perfectly possible to see 3 times the gains over the 8800 and i really hope so with the 8800 shaders matter if im correct and this card on paper has 3 times the shadr powerand consumes less power(lets hope it overclocks good). can u imagine the resources lost planet would need if it had about the same performance as rainbow six vegas did with no aa or af lol.

something needs to give in this industry half the popular games dont even use dual core properly

thank god for EMA + bonus at end of terms..... say 15 weeks x 30quid + 100quid bonus = 550

lol, bloody class

time to start saving ive got a 24 inch monitor coming soon, ive always bought gt /gts cards 6800,7900gt,880gts so for a screen this size think ill treat meself to something thatll make games look good on it

Tom|Nbk · 26 Jul 2007 at 01:16

I think what would be really nice if we had some decent games start dropping on the scene as atm its dead.

snowdog · 26 Jul 2007 at 01:18

So tom, you've really played all good games out so far you think?
What kind of games would you want to play (aside from fps) ?

WTF :/ If anything can compete or be directly comparable with the 360's chip (Xenos) It's the R600 which is basically it's big brother. The 360 does feature eDRAM but the AA on this chip is only free because of the low resolution the 360 run's at a lot of the 360 titles out atm don't even take advantage of it the G90 will be massively advanced compared to it.

Yes but the gfx on pc's have yet to be nicer than on consoles so far, imo console + hdtv looks better than pc + 20'' monitor...
Xbox360 just looks better in my eyes still than pc games.
If i get an 9800GTS, I'll have something to brag about vs xbox 360 users, and turn up gfx options so high, that it's really a major improvement over xbox360.

from now to christmas medieval II kingdoms,crysis,bioshock,age of conan,call of duty 4,stranglehold,lost planet,gears of war, unreal tournament 3? to name a few

Yes I've played pretty much all the greats out there atm and playing a bit of BF2 lately but even a low level rig could cut through this so why do I bother spending the cash for a decent rig. I want some games with balls not the crap that has spewed out recently.

:/ The only game I can think that tops most of the pc games I have seen is GOW and that looks much better and runs faster on the PC and will be out later this year anyway. All the other titles on the 360, no chance

Graphics on PC were better even before Gears was out, I mean Crysis was shown like last November and it still looked amazing.

helmutcheese · 26 Jul 2007 at 02:32

The consoles may have just had the edge at time as PC had just got 7800GTX, since 7900GTX and now 8800GTX/Ultra the console are behind, the CPU's cant be compared to PC's but look good on paper with 1 with a 3 core CPU and the other with a Cell CPU.

esiemi · 26 Jul 2007 at 04:04

so this is PCI-E 2.0??? will it work in older mobos?

But about 95% of games on consoles like the xbox360/PS3 only run at 1280x720 (720p).....

Where with a PC you can run your games at 1920x1080 on a Nice large screen 1080p HD TV.....
