Tech ARP updated GTX 380, 360, 395 SPECs!

Have these been confirmed or are they just speculations of an author on that website? I say that because I was rather heavily under the impression the GTX 380 was supposed to have a 384-bit bus. I think they seem suspect. However, if true, I'm jumping on a GTS 350.

Edit: Oh, very suspect. Seems they've updated their tables prematurely before. Oh well.

What it means: Somebody has taken their time to produce a set of numbers which dont add up, personally I dont believe any til the cards released
That do you, lol, 27
 
Interesting to see if true that the GTX360 is slightly slower than a GTX295 and hence slower than a 5870.

The gtx380 will obvioulsly be faster but on those figures doubt it will beat a 5970.

The price is going to be the key.
 
Not sure if 1600MHz shaders is right - tho that was originally the target... but there seemed to be a change recently.

EDIT: If thats right and they really have bumped the 360 to 480SP its going to be a good margin faster than the 5870...

At 384SP the 360GTX would have been competitive against the 5870 either very slightly slower or very slightly faster... but with 480SP it would be quite a bit faster.
 
More rubbish based off of the last round of fake figures "leaked" by trolls/fanboys...

I like the entry at the bottom for the "395", wishful thinking there! 2 full-fledged 380 cores eh. Reality check people!

Again with the wild speculation, based on new specs(considering you seem to think you have the inside scoop its funny how any site puts up any info and you're fine with the change). You also ignored that the 360gtx has noticeably lower clocks, core and shader, if these were to be true.

But the most obvious blinding and incredibly bad news seems to have been missed entirely.

A 320 Shader part being salvaged out of a 512shader core is blooming awful in terms of performance for size of core, the fact that if those specs are to be believed, they are willing to get a 256shader part and waste half a core says a lot about the expected yields.

You do not plan to make a 256shader part, out of a core twice the size, its business suicide, you ONLY do that if yields are so incredibly poor that you really have no choice. The 320 part is a bad enough sign, the 256 screams that availability on a 512/480 shader part will be woeful.

Yes no one wastes silicon, its not cost effective to do so, but planning to launch with such low parts is rare, and I've not seen it before. A 4830 with months of a few cores here and there being built up into a releasable part is one thing, but planning on having high enough numbers to launch a lower cost(and therefore higher volume) part at launch is a ridiculously bad sign.

AS for the 395GTX rumour, thats been around for a while, its perfectly possible, expect it to be a phantom part. No one will certify its use, psu makers, mobo makers, Dell and co won't sell it, it will cost the earth, be actually dangerous to use.

Frankly I suspected the EVGA 4 way 285gtx mobo + 3 x pci-e connectors was a test run for running a system with no power through the mobo at all and special cards/mobo/psu that could be rated/certified to run a 300W+ card safely. As long as they make one, and can get a single one to a single reviewer they'll claim fastest single card anyway, even if they can't sell it.

I actually think its possible, theres no point making a 395 out of something less than I dunno a 400+ SP part, with two cores with that amount of shaders you're looking at over 300W anyway. They won't be able to sell something like that in large numbers, frankly if at all. If you can't sell it, stability, noise etc go out the window. This is Nvidia, they'll happily make a couple hundred full 2x380gtx cards, get it to reviewers, claim the performance crown and never expect anyone to ever be able to buy one.

9600GT?

if these specs turn out to be what they are or very similar, which gpu will you buy ATI or Nvidia?
 
Well based off performance if these are the real specs (huge IF there) then they would obviously be top dog and thus from a performance point of view it would be nVidia, however I can imagine whether the specs are this good or most likely lower, the price will be absurd and thus, ATi will probably be my next gpu purchase.
