NVIDA 8800GTX~GT (G-80) Discusion Thread

$SOLID$ Necro · 24-September-06, 02:55 PM

Poking around XtremeSystems forums this morning, I came acrossed a great thread on this topic, so I thought I would share it, add a few things and see what you guys here think about it

Quote:

* Unified Shader Architecture
* Support FP16 HDR+MSAA
* Support GDDR4 memories
* Close to 700M transistors (G71 - 278M / G70 - 302M)
* New AA mode : VCAA
* Core clock scalable up to 1.5GHz
* Shader Peformance : 2x Pixel / 12x Vertex over G71
* 8 TCPs & 128 stream processors
* Much more efficient than traditional architecture
* 384-bit memory interface (256-bit+128-bit)
* 768MB memory size (512MB+256MB)
* Two models at launch : GeForce 8800GTX and GeForce 8800GT
* GeForce 8800GTX : 7 TCPs chip, 384-bit memory interface, hybrid water/fan cooler, water cooling for overclocking. US$649
* GeForce 8800GT : 6 TCPs chip, 320-bit memory interface, fan cooler. US$449-499
*NVIDIA G80 will be the first DirectX 10-compatible graphics circuit on the high performance market

Yawn... give me R600 anyday!

On the other hand, those specs look pretty nice.

Wish I could say the same..............Must be nice to toss almost $500 on a video card...Wonder how it could handle Maya 8.0?

Seems that some "allegedly genuine" of the G80 series card have made it on to the net :

Are these G80 GT & GTX pictured?

And here's some more information from The Inquirer

......

The above info may be correct, then again it may not be

They look like genuine shots, the cooler designs are unlike anything I've ever seen before. In the top one you can clearly see the water cooling pipe connections, and it looks like they've put a decent fan on it too - at last.

IcEMage · 01-October-06, 11:35 AM

I saw these earler this week,

I don't like this one:

If you look at the tubes leading from the connecters they look like they just connect to eachother haha

Prob just the angle or something. And it seems kinda weird to me that they would take off the cooler but not show what the card looked like with it off.

But than again, I want one

Loads better than G80.

Anyone got any idea when these cards are due out? Surely sometime the next two months?

nVidia's expected to be out mid November to December. Ati's, January or early February.

ooooo that looks like fun!!! any benchies out yet??? If they turn out good then i might get two when they come what in dubai

eascarface · 15-October-06, 02:00 PM

I wonder if family members count as acceptable currency for those.

officially they are releasing a bit earier than said above, but only by a week or so. look for a review on it within the next two weeks or so as i am getting the hookup.

konai_konai666 · 22-October-06, 06:02 AM

Hmmm.. Impressive numbers, -oh the power we'll surely need the proper (new) software to drive!

I think i'll stick by my x1900 till teh devs get a handle on the sitiation and (perhaps; hoepfully) DX10 really sweeps me off my heels.

Lokie · 22-October-06, 07:10 AM

NDA's really suck sometimes.

He he..that why the Inquirer RULEZ

12,000 is being reported in 3DMARK 06 using a "Quad Core" Kentsfield at a German site

10,500 on a 2.93 GHZ EE Conroe
10,000 using the 2.8GHZ FX-62

More G80 numbers outed, on more CPUs

GeForce 8800 line to hit 12K in 3DMark

NVIDIA bans "Overclocking" for this card by suppliers, it wants to avoid another 7900GT RMA fiasco...lol

Nvidia bans overclocking for its G80

Low initial supplies at the November 7th launch may cause price gouging....

G80 demand will outstrip supply

werty316 · 29-October-06, 10:37 PM

I guess this editor doesn't know about the NDA

Basic numbers:

8800GTX stock
3dmark06 - 13717
Q6600 @ 3.6GHz

3dmark06 - 11314
X6800 @ 3.7GHz

3dmark05 - 19114
X6800 @ 3.88GHz. Talk about a huge score :shock:

8800GTX OC'd
3dmark05 - 20825
X6800 @ 3.88GHz

3dmark02 - 12645
X6800 @ 3.8GHz

	Victor had some "hot" new toys back at his home in Taiwan and he took the time to play with some of them, which includes a GeForce 8800GTX. Based on his screenshots, we understand that the GeForce 8800GTX is clocked in at 576MHz core and 1050MHz memory. Powered by an overclocked Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 quad core processor at 3.6GHz and Asus P5B Deluxe motherboard, Victor managed to score 13,717 3Dmarks in 3DMark06. For the record, that's almost double the score that I managed to get from my overclocked 7950GX2! For more benchmarks and info, please visit Victor's blog.
