Remember? Remeber from what? As far as I know, the only thing presented so far has been a mass of rumors and speculation. What official statement are we supposed to be remembering? This looks like more speculation, though I doubt that it is inaccurate.
Really? I seem to remember seeing some leaked DX9 specs that clearly showed features in excess of both the R300 and the NV30.
Silly me, I always though memory bandwidth was a function of memory clock and bus width, but what do I know? Perhaps they mean more effecient use of available bandwidth?
Seems like no one can write more than two sentences these days without mincing words, garbling terms, and throwing in a good helping of opinion or speculation.
Bah, I guess that's the way "news" has always been.

Then perhaps they should have made that distinction, instead of the blanket statement that the NV30 exceeds DX9 specifications, which is simply not true.alexsok said:

The real question is how much time will it take(after nv30's launch) until boards get to stores in large quantities

With 2 TMUs per pipeline, thus 16 TMUs in all, that would put NV30 up there with Matrox Parhelia, in terms of number of texture units. exellent if that is true. And also, the 256-bit bus, if actually true, is a HUGE relief.
NV30 basic configuration is not disappointing if this info pans out.
I will still probably hold off on the NV3X tech until the NV35 refresh. Its usually best to go for the refresh.
That said, NV30 looks SOLID. Not that R300/Radeon9700 isn't.

I'm sorry, but that's a lame excuse. They probably know as well as anyone what the DX9 leaked specs look like, and saying that the NV30 exceeds them is just an outright lie. They didn't have to go into any detail about DX9... all they had to do was not make false statements. Leaving out that statement would have worked quite well, and I don't think that would break any NDA's. But no, just got to throw a little sugar on top...alexsok said:

Well, you're right, they shouldn't have, but they did...
But remember that NV30 did in fact go beyond the initial DX9 specifications, but since the specs in the latest Beta 2 release were updated, maybe they were just unaware of the changes...
Either way, NV30 doesn't go beyond DX9 specifications and there is still some time till a hardware shows up that will be fully compliant with them.
Both R300 and NV30 exceed PS/VS 2.0 but neither (from what we know) fully meet PS/VS3.0. Happy?
