GT300 specs, gtx380,360 gts350,340

[jjknoll]

This site is generally pretty reliable in regards to new hardware. Looks like NVidia has some serious firepower coming our way. Hopefully, info is accurate and prices aren't obscene! Based on just the numbers they give, theoretically gts 350 and above will outperform 5870. Of course, these cards aren't available yet and we don't know what real world performance will actually be..... but still something to look at and drool over!

It's hard to imagine; 280+ gb of bandwidth form a single chip card. It says max board power for the 380 will be 225w. I wonder if that means they snuck in under the limit using 2-6 pin connectors or have to have a 6+8 pin for OC headroom. I wish it was out NOW!

Note we're talking 12-15 years before nvidia 'invented' the gpu.

I found what I was after. NVIDIA has their own definition of a GPU: "a single-chip processor with integrated transform, lighting, triangle setup/clipping, and rendering engines that is capable of processing a minimum of 10 million polygons per second."

Since the GeForce 256 was the first consumer "GPU" to have Hardware T&L, it means NVIDIA "invented" it

 

[jennyh]

Yes pretty much. The sad thing is, after all those years have passed they now actually do believe that they 'invented' the gpu.

There really will be a few hundred - a thousand marketers running around Nv HQ who 'truly' believe that they invented the gpu these days, based on their own propaganda that fact long since forgot

Btw, I owned an Amiga, and I programmed it as well. You could actually program straight to the 'blitter' even back then, in fact it was the most efficient way of making games unsurprisingly.

We sure haven't made much progress in almost 25 years since....

PS I was young then, just before you get any really wrong any ideas about my age!

[jennyh]

Lol no I really was young when I had my amiga, barely out of single figures!

If I were nvidia I would buy 1000 5870X2s and put a sticker saying "awesome graphics card #42 CaT eDiTiOn" and call it a day...

Good job you're not then, isn't it.

Or am I?

 

[Mousemonkey]

Or am I?

I'm pretty sure your not. :lol:

 

[impaledmango]

I'm pretty sure your not. :lol:

well for proof that I truly am Nvidia, the secret ingredient in the gtx295 is 2 tablespoons of Ragu and a pinch of red chili peppers.

 

[Mousemonkey]

That's the sort of line I'd expect from an undercover S3 operative. **prepares to dispatch ninja assassination squad**
