NVIDIA GF100 & Friends speculation

GTX 470 appears to be 625/1250 with 800mhz mem, from leaks of people who have early cards. GTX 480 is still up in the air.

 

Though the latest leak from czech, with screenshots, put 470 memories to 1000MHz instead of 800MHz

It'll be interesting if that move puts it closer to 5870 in some benchmarks...

Oh, I don't doubt they didn't do it just for fun. But since we don't know what the ISA looks like (or do we?) we have no idea how substantially it was changed. It might have been possible the encoding misses a (now) vital bit somewhere, and things needed to be readjusted just for that (not saying that's the case, just why an incompatible ISA doesn't mean it really has to be changed substantially).

Yeah. If you really call it new architecture is probably still depending on the view, but it is certainly substantially different.

 

PR fluff piece, considering it doesn't even mention one of the main reasons why it's so delayed. TSMC 40 nm woes.

Their box art looks like they are going for a Harley V-Twin/air cleaner look.

Specsfree box is a safe bet. The potential market already knows the specs by the time these boxes are on the shelves.

 

and that is all the working gtx 480 and 470 that company will ever see......

Naaaa but kinda funny whats in that box 3 480s and 2 470s.

 

I'm pretty sure the specs are on the back.

 

End of q2 is what July ?

Also if Nvidia isn't shipping main stream fermi cards till summer , it looks like ati has plenty of time to make money off the $50-$300 market.

 

Just seems like fudo trying to keep up his own dual-fermi idea, without anything behind it. I think you forgot this part of the quoute:

 

IMHO, not gonna happen without a shrink.

 

So far we've seen box art from Gigabyte, Galaxy, Palit and inno3d, colorful, anything else?

How does this mesh with the rumour that there will be 3 larger OEMs and 1 smaller who will have cards available at the March launch date, and where are Evga and XFX in all of this?

 

evga

 

XFX won't have any cards. Inno3D doesn't do Europe as far as I know as well.
