Nvidia GT200b rumours and speculation thread

[suryad]

Well they have the overall performance crown now, both in dual and in single GPU's. Thats gotta be worth something.

Not in a resounding ass kicking manner though.

True, but they have it nonetheless.

Yesterday ATI had te fastest graphics card, today NV has it.... I think that counts for a lot.

It doesn't take away from ATI's achievment of course which was tremendous considering where they came from.

Its time to stop playing second place though. The mainstream price/performance champ won't keep them going forever. Lets see another Athlon64 / 9700 Pro.... :smile:

It only counts if it's significant. If people haven't jumped for the R700 now, what makes you think they'll go for the 295?

I'm really hoping AMD's next-gen high end chip is 20 ROPs / 320bit.

Not nesseserrily (sp) noob goes into a shop
whats the fastest gfx card
nv 295
ok i'll have one of those

 

[gostriker]

That noob goes to more honest shops than me. Around here that is mainly a good way of finding out which card has the best commission.

If they double TMUs and SPs, hopefully they will put 8 ROPs in their MC-clusters, so a total of 32 while stay at 256-Bit, which can be powered by 1.25-1.5GHz GDDR5.

Going along with the noob comment, the noob has to have a bunch of money saved up because having the fastest card moniker does not mean much anymore given the current economic crisis if they do not have the money to buy the fastest card!

+8 ROPs would be 24 total and have either 192 or 384 bit memory interface.

Fillrate hasn't really been a performance issue for AMD... bandwidth & shader throughput are where it's at for the next gen.

I think there's enough times when GTX260-216 and GTX295 beat HD4870-1GB and HD4870X2 to indicate that fillrate and texture rate are somewhat lacking. More emphasis on framerate minima would make this clearer, I reckon, though getting down to nitty-gritty in given games is something I've found pretty difficult with the reviews out there.

Offical GTX285 specs and LOADS of pics

GTX285 uses G200-350 rev B3 chips
GTX295 uses G200-400 rev B3 chips
GTX260 uses G200-103 rev B2 chips

 

[Jawed]

Seems NVidia's had as much trouble with 65 and 55nm as AMD had with R600.

Just so I can be lazy whats the relative performance of the 285+295
tnx....

 

[trinibwoy]

The 295 is $100 faster.

 

[Davros]

ive only seen the 295 benched against the 260 its not twice as fast
given that the 285 is single gpu it could be slower than a 260 (depends how bad the sli scaling is)

Hmm? In a single GPU ((IE only 1 GPU enabled)) a GTX 295 will be faster than any standard clocked 260. I dont quite understand what you mean by the 285. Maybe you could clarify because I totally don't understand what you just said.

 

[Davros]

I thought the 295 was a board with 2x285 gpu's am i wrong ?

ps: that comment was just me thinking aloud after spending a good 3 seconds thinking about it - dont read too much into it

295 = two 260's with 240 sp

 

[Davros]

so whats a 285 ?

Higher clocked 280
