OT, but what happened to you? Could have sworn you were an 8800 owner!

It's sitting on my shelf gathering dust.

Need the quadro for rendering

Tute · 23 Jul 2007 at 00:02

Ah fair 'nuff. Didn't see the Quadro.

I can see plenty of ppl paying £430+ for one, x1800 XT 512mbs were up on here at £470 when they were released and they sold in their droves, be about 2 years gone from that when these come out (if they come out November) which isnt that long when you think about it really, and these will be cheaper, and completely destroy them 10 fold in performance, they'll sell alright and Nvidia know it.

Hope that when the next Ati/NV cards are out, the drivers will be up to scratch. Everyone slams NV for how bad the drivers were/are forgeting that when 2900 came out its drivers were **** too. Those who are expexting lower power and heat can forget it as the smaller die will be packed with more transistors.

Since iv sold my 8800GTS now I think this may be the next path for me

2 of these in an SLi system for the fun of it

Smaller die also means less power needed to run it, look at current CPU voltage compared to say the 1.75V Thunderbirds DDR's in 2001.

jrodga2k5 · 23 Jul 2007 at 13:55

Well i can pretty much say these new mid range cards will coincide with the release of Unreal Tourney 3 since both are November

Now that would be a great in-pack deal

I also smell an 8900 style refresh however

UT3 should run perfectly on the 8800 series.

indeed will but it is a good point that that is coming out at the same time as these cards apparently. it will hook a lot of the adopters to that game

Voltage is not power.

Power (in Watts) = voltage (in Volts)* current(in Amps)

If you check the actual power useage, you will see modern desktop CPUs using much more power than (say) Tbird Athlon XPs, or older chips.

Amount of power used is always equal to total heat output (since all input energy eventually ends up as waste energy).

So what part of the input energy gets used to do calculations etc if it all ends up as heat?

I guess I have got this wrong

helmutcheese · 23 Jul 2007 at 15:26

I do know that, but fact remains smaller dies takes less power and since voltage is the carrier of current, they do run less volts each gen.

Actually the lower the voltage the higher the current can be.

At stock these new CPU run far cooler than older ones, in laymans terms thats due to running with 1.2v instead 1.75v.

I did work with power so knew all calcs etc long time ago.

A smaller die can run with less power at same clock as last gen but thats not to say they dont pump up the speed and increase power but not nearly as much as was needed to make a older CPU run them speeds.

Am I the only one who thinks G92 is a load of bull?

What happened to all these?

Canned, with the only thing that Nvidia has hinted at about their next GPU design being the 1Tflop claim it's way more than would be expected from a mere tweak of the existing G80s.

I'm still of the opinion that it'll be G90 in January that'll be the 9800GTX rather than the G92 in November and neither will be a 8900GTX.

a quick question: Hybrid SLI? What does that mean exactly?

Yeah Epic already said it runs 'amazingly well' on them.

Have they said anything about how well it will run on the 2900 series? I also suspect it should run "amazingly well" on these.

And bioshock, well if an 8600GT is gonna be able to run it, I guess my 2900 should be able to have it on highish settings too

canned

simply because their was no need. Traditionally Nvidia have allways done a product refresh mid way through its life

Trouble is, the ATI offering fell so far behind, then when it didnt come, it only managed to compete. It didnt walk all over it like the X1900 XTX did to the Nvidia offerings of the time. So with no need to product refresh, they just went to 9800.

lets be honest, theres no hurry is there given AMD (/ ATI)'s current offerings
