NVIDIA GT200 Rumours & Speculation Thread

Here is the leaked review http://futuremark.yougamers.com/forum/showthread.php?t=83241

 

177.34s are around

 

According to W1zzard you shouldn't expect much difference.

 

Ironic, because in the Financial Analyst session a few weeks ago, Jen Hsun told the analysts that NVIDIA is about to "open up a can of whoop ass".

 

No, ironic would be the opposite, that is if the GPU didn't do that well in GPGPU.

Vr-zone has their GTX280 is up!

 

I have a car that's smaller than that chip...
That said, it's scaling well in QW, beter than the GX2

 

Driver issues, or is it simply because G200 is simply G92 GX2 on a single chip?

Pretty underwhelming at this stage.

 

How the fuck is a single chip performing slightly above the level of a GX2 (without all the nasty side effects which come from AFR rendering) underwhelming?

 

Because it has twice as many transistors, twice the memory bus and buffer size, and yet performance somewhat worse in some benchmarks, perhaps??

 

It doesn't have twice anything compared to the GX2. Well frame-buffer maybe. But in terms of raw performance specs come in under the GX2.

 

Lol, true, but none the less it really is somewhat underwhelming, probably for nvidia too, I bet they REALLY wanted that Teraflop.

 

They're releasing a 1Tflop GT200 though, it's just not going to happen in this GTX 280 SKU.

 

It is amusing - someone (wasn't there a thread?) posed the question "which'll be first to 1TFLOP, ATI or NVidia?" and it seems they got there at the same time. Though there's plenty of room for argument...

FW 177.26
Crysis 19x12 no AA high details
GTX260 - 34.56fps
GTX280 - 38.75fps

Crysis 19x12 no AA very high details
GTX260 - 26.55fps
GTX280 - 29.31fps

FW177.34
Crysis 19x12 no AA high details
GTX260 - 43.90
GTX280 - 48.55fps

Crysis 19x12 no AA very high details
GTX260 - 37.35
GTX280 - 42.80fps

And there are SLi numbers too.

 

LOL, it's a fake done by an italian guy...

In this post he said he did through MS Paint.

No way that they can get such an increase with only a new release of drivers...

 

And no way the GTX 280 will get 43 fps in 19x12 very high settings...

 

Fuck me, I would expect this kind of response after a personal attack.

It doesn't even outperform the GX2 in Crysis (a game that NVIDIA has been praising as PC gaming's gospel), has some micro-stuttering issues of its own and is pretty much a double up of G80 in terms of transistor count (and some functional units).

 

It's fast. It's almost 2X again, just like G80>7800GTX. It's very fast. Just like G80 as well, it might not be 2X right away in all cases, but it's descendants will get there and beyond.

That said, I think it will be a tough sell at 649, if 4870 is truly 1.4X 9800GTX, and is priced at 329. Running those numbers you'd generally be hard pressed to justify 300 extra dollars for 280. Unless you are rich, or have a very specific need with a large display.

260 is where the value is..

 

Not fake according to spajdr:
