A promise is a promise :) there you go!

their second 8x pattern is a little out, it's the 4x 'rotated grid' with 2x supersampling and so each subsample should be occupying a unique position horizontally. This is shown on the vertical lines on their tester pics.

 

Review board were only A1 boards, any chance that NV40 U coming with 475 in stores with A2 oder A3 stepping?

 

Probably not most of them. We may see a few "golden-sample" type boards at least a month after first availability.

 

I'm guessing about a month to two months after the R420 takes away the 6800 ultra's crown.

 

I really really hope that we'll see a race like that. Cause that will do wonders for the prices.

 

I can't imagine nvidia gonna user A1 samples for the final boards. It looks like even the AIB didn't know the real specs, Albatron sai 600/1000mhz, Gigabyte say 400/1000mhz and MSI speaks about higher Clocks.

 

So any chance of Nvidia enabling those 'unofficial' AA modes in their final release? I didn't read the entire article but I didn't pick up on any disadvantages to them.

 

You and me both buddy, you and me both. 8)

Did I mention it's gonna be fun yet? This is going to be fun!
