Hey! It's the 13th. I want my juicy info!!

[jvd]

As far as I can tell, it's not NDA'ed. But anyone who receives anonymous camera phone snapshops and short messages should ignore them.

Heh i have plenty of website space to host random pics sent to jvd81@optonline.net

EDIT: the article has some interesting information about the gffxs shading capabilities

 

[MfA]

Nice amount of technical detail, I guess they are pretty confident about the architecture to share that amount of detail.

This is just the PR package.

This is just the PR package. They don't actually have a board in their hands yet.

True, must of the article is already common knowledge but there is some interesting information

NVIDIA UltraShadow II for 4 times the performance in highly shadowed games (e.g. Doom III) comparing to older GPUs

Confirmation of a 32x0 mode

128 pixel shader operation /clock

and theres something about dual-issue vs "co-issue" and how the r3xx cant do dual-issue but the nv40 can, no idea how important that is

Thanks, from your post to my frontpage.

Still it at least feels like some news!

 

[Joe DeFuria]

Ahh...the first site to "mix up time zones" as arrived.

Certainly looks to be a good improvement over the R3xx on paper. I'm a little confused by the mixing of the terms "instructions" and "operations" per pipeline. How are they different?

 

[McDusty]

So, who do you think will have the best female lead

NV

or

ATI

place your bets now!

Yes, confirmation of the two slot cooling and higher power requirement - pretty much confirming the high heat output. Especially interesting given the recent story of the NV40 review machine that gets 10 degree hotter and shuts down even though it has a lot of fans. It will be interesting to know if Nvidia have a quiet cooling solution or another dustbuster.

16xAA could be good, although I hope it's better than Nvidia's previously weak AA.

I notice the chips are made by IBM too.

Yeah I was thinking of quoting that as well but I wasnt srue by 16xaa whether their just touting their new 4xRGAA with 4 or 6 or 8 or 12xSSAA (whatever it is)

 

[PaulS]

Well any mode above 4x is certainly mixed, unfortunately.

Ah! That explains the water theme that's been emerging (submerging !) on the nvidia.com website

 

[Joe DeFuria]

I'll put my guess in terms of the "ass" factor:

* nVidia's lead will have a nicer ass to look at
* ATI's lead will be able to kick more ass

Nvidia's lead won't have an ass at all, as it appears to be a mermaid, and will therefore be "ass-less".

ATI's face looks nice (from what little we can see), but I really want to see the Nvidia mermaid and her hair billowing underwater.

 

[no_way]

480W PSU recommended ? Um, thanks but i'll pass on this one.

I like the ATi one better, never been into tails, you know.

Anyway, why chose if you can have both?

But you can't.
You only have one...

ROTFLMAO:

We have almost received a GeForce 6800 sample,

This is simply ridiculous.
