NV18 And NV28

Anyway I wasnt talking about compatibility, I was talking about B3D's normal testing of performance gains going from 2x to 4x AGP being extended to 8x AGP.

Oh... the gain is close to zero actually, as AGP 8x offers practically nothing (speed wise) in current games over AGP 4x.

thats what I'll totally expect. Just on another noard I've had to slap down someone who was claiming 8xAGP will help the 4600 compete with the 9700 and 'I'd be crazy to contemplate' nVidia releasing a product that didnt attempt to close the performance gap.
 
Actually, NV28/18 is nothing more than NV25/17 with AGP 8x.

That's true in regards to the GF4TI4200-8x, but not true in regards to the GF4MX440-8x that runs at a core/memory clock speed of 280/520MHz, compared to the original MX440 that runs at 275MHz/400MHz and almost all previous MX440-based cards featured a mere 64MB of memory, while the MX4408X features 128MB.

About AGP 8x, you're correct, but future games may show an advantage with AGP 8x, but we still have some time till we get there...

yeah it wasnt a noard it was another board ;)

heres the link that I was given as 'proof' the NV28 was more than Gf4Ti plus 8xAGP

Yeah, I read that some time ago too...

The biggest bulp of bullshit I've seen for a long time...

While I myself would like to see NV30 here as fast as possible, speculating that a non dx9 card (even if it had higher clock speeds than the regular ti4200) would beat R9700pro is just plain stupid, IMHO.
 
I agree, that really is the worst kind of badly researched, fanboy desperate speculation that results in misleading information being spread around the net.
 
Nv28 is a geforce4 ti4200 with agp8x 250/513 clocks speeds and128mb memory.
we got a nice 69Mhz boost in memory.I just hope we don't get a boost in price too!!!
Anyway digit-times reviews geforce4 8x and it works just fine on an asus P4S8X(sis648) ;)

While it worked just fine it provided about zlitch for a FPS gain from current GF4 which again makes this a ho hum type of annoucement.
