NVIDIA's Trump Card

You're just guessing. I'm looking for an official statement.

 

whatever gets me wickid hardware at low low prices...

while on the subject, was the Albatron site numbers brushed off as nonsense?
pretty insane specs if people doubt 475Mhz..

what if NV slapped "would be reject" chips on the preview samples?
time will tell how it all pans out i guess, 3 more days for ATIs launch is it?

 

I am NOT guessing!

I told you, my geek-sense got that special tingle about July....how more bloody official do you really need than that?

 

After the NV30 debacle I'm having a difficult time believe Nvidia's release timetables.

 

You're special dig.

 

yeah, they still got 600mhz core and 1Ghz ram on there..
Dunno, they might be smoking something, planning some "out there" watercooled beast, or just mixing things up.. who knows..
but it hasnt been rectified, and its been out there for a while now..
tho most doesnt mention core speed, some say 400Mhz on their sites, some say nothing but if you do the math on the other numbers you get 400...
hehe, its quite tantalizing (spelling?)

Yes that is precisely the vibe I got. just like they use 128 bit fp32, and always say the same thing in a verbose repetitive way

 

just oogled this..

Some stuff called Cellmath, or something..

If they up the core, that might be why.. cause they can.. dunno..

 

Actually, the speculation was that nV planned to up the clocks before shipping all along, especially given that their dev samples (UE3, Vegetto's cousin's uncle's roommate's parrot's) had 475MHz cores (though UE3 showed some artifacting, so stepping down to 450MHz may correct that). And it seems to me the BIOS controls clock speeds, so how else would they modify them? eVGA did the same with their 5900U (then later had to reduce speeds because of problems).

 

UE3 had artifacting? I never noticed, then again the vid is all ive seen and its pretty damn lowres..
where you get that from? never heard it before hehe..

 

AFAIK the reference clocks of the Ultra do no move.

 

Up the auto-PR level.

 

oh.. them..
EDIt
Sais UT2k4 there tho.. not UE3.0

 

if you look in that forum, Fuad/Ardrid, you should find the posts that made Mark Rein posts

 

I still say that it's another card. Maybe the GT, unless we have evidence to the contrary. I mean, if you look at cars, GT says "UBER PERFORMANCE MODEL," not "Relatively High-End But We Still Make Faster Ones."
