oh SH*T, Photos of NV35 and prelim benchies!!!!!

Just in time for breakfast. :cool:

BTW Evildeus, do you really think the 5900 Ultra will be much faster than the 9800 Pro overall? =\

MuFu.
 
3D NewsNET have a quote that was pulled from tt-H before they had to remove their 5900 Ultra benchmarks and spiel...

Tuesday, a friend lituanien (let us stop always showing Russian!) us forwarded some figures obtained on Ultra GeForce FX 5900 as its impressions vis-a-vis the some briefs tests which it had been able to make. We did not publish these figures upon the departure bus they appeared to us "too high". In fact, they were correct but carried out with the drivers Detonator 50.xx. This person could return us the same results but with less advanced drivers, certainly close to those which will be used in the tests which will be published the next week. This thus means that the first tests published will not be carried out with the new drivers which would name Detonator FX.

Interesting.

Well, a bit off topic, but I got a second 9800Pro and, so far, it's running at 450/380! :oops: This compares to the first one that "only" does 420/350. Pretty impressive! I have no doubts that ATI could, with similar cooling solutions that we are seeing on the NV35, get the R350 working at a reliable 450 or maybe even higher! Add to that some 450 DDr memory and.... Just where do you think that would place it compared to the NV35? ;)
 
From the very reliable source I've got info that reference board was designed I build by 3Dlabs!
Same source stated that his company will do they own design.
The company that I'm speaking of has a great experience in building reference cards (did you know that they did four reference design of Nv30 card before the final layout?)
NV35 will hit retail by the end of the month!

Oh dear the pre nda reviews have started :rolleyes:

How many mistakes can you spot in that? :D

Well many many many, but i like this one

Most notable is the 425MHz DDR-I memory instead of faster DDR-II and the lower GPU clock speed. While the inclusion of a 256-bit bus does make up for the loss of performance, I still find it very interesting that Nvidia opted for rather slow 425MHz memory when ATI is using 620MHz - 680MHz memory for their high end cards.

The 13.6GB/s memory bandwidth is distinctly less than the 16GB/s enjoyed by the FX 5800 Ultra and at a huge disadvantage when compared to the Radeon 9800 Pro's 21.8GB/s.

Yes, there are many mistakes within this review. But, IF - and it's a bit "IF" - the benches are correct, then I think many nVidia fans will be very disappointed by the lack of a real performance lead over the current ATI 9800. And this may be especially true when the real competitor to the Radeon 9800 128 is compared - the somewhat less powerful FX5900 128. And, while this review does allude to some better IQ, notice there is no true comparison to ATI's IQ......

And, IF - and this time, I do believe the source - ATI has something special waiting in the wings, then even if the FX5900Ultra has a lead, it would take someone smoking something hallucinogenic to believe that they will hold on to it for very long! ;)

I guess this just, once again, shows Mufu knows what he it talking about!

EDIT: 3 college degrees and I still can't spell........ ;)

I apologize for the spelling error, but the rest of the info is 100% real and legit.
I was stunned my self when man told me that 3Dlabs has done reference design for NV35 board (in the presentation that was shown to us they called NV35 as FX6800, but he stated that is unofficial, and that by the time that presentation was created (beginning of the may) they haven't had final commercial name for the GPU)

Which one? Wouldn't be supriesd if it is the production qualified one - that integrated reg/SMT cap approach is a marked movement away from their previous use of discrete stages with large electrolytics.

I know who primarily did the final NV30 board by name, hehe. :cool:
