Geforce 8xxx series

[Crixx_Creww]

shall do

btw, dell power supplies are rather interesting goats

dell aparently uses a different measuring system for their wattage measurement

so a dell psu (atleast from the 8300 series and up) that says its rated at 300, in reality is actually closer to 450 w.

thats what allows me to run my multiple drives and my 6800 oced on a supposed 300 w dell psu

[.:Jedi:.]

so who's pre-orderin'?

with all this rain......u think a crop of "expensive grass" gon grow well? tha gtx lookin real tempting!

GG Almighty... those prices are.. well GG!!! I mean sure 640 and 768MB or GDDR3/4.... but DUYAMN... 500USD for the lower of the 2... thats too rich for my pockets i'm afraid. That aside, what are the definite power requirements for those monsters? I hear the performance of these cards is said to be about 12000 in 3DMark06... which is good I guess... but enough to warrant that price? or power req? i'll wait till R600 nears and prices fall.... that TOO HOTT for me in terms of cost. On a side note, its funny that they went with an odd size memory buss (384 I believe) hence they hadda use 640 and 768MB as opposed to R600 which will sport a 512bit internal ring-bus/external memory bus, so we'll see 512 and 1GB cards....

[Crixx_Creww]

you said 12000 in 3dmark 2k6??

12k each or in sli?

[W1nTry]

Well remember Crixx SLi != 2x single card performance. So I will say its 12000 on a SINGLE card. We could prolly expect 15-17K with SLI. I am sure you're salivating now... I have read however that many don't think it'll be enough to beat R600... but then we don't know the pipeline count or the actual tech used just yet, however based on what ppl know R600 will best that. But still 12K in 3DMark06 ain't nothing to jest @. That is GOSU power. We'll see soon enough as G80 is due out Nov 8th.

[.:Jedi:.]

yep! 12k for a single card......MADNESS!! I doh even wanna think about power requirements for these monsters nah. But i cant wait for actual benchies on Nov 8th

[TriniXaeno]

Impressive, most impressive.

Reminds me of the old Voodoo 6000 cards that required a wheelbarrow attachment to your case for 'em to fit.

Not to mention external power.

I'll watch it in awe from afar but that ain't going anywhere near my machine.

T&TEC stock is gonna go up when these hit the market.

[.:Jedi:.]

such vulgar behavior!!!

this card looks soooo tempting right now.

[Crixx_Creww]

my brain still trying to figure out how it possible to get 12k in 2k6
far less on a single card....

but wait

omfg is that 13k !!.....


wts house an land for 1337 rig to push 13k !!

[Arcmanov]

hahaha.  My CPU score in 3DMark06 is 920.  I seein 5000+ in tha screenie.
Good LAWD!!!

[TriniXaeno]

OMFG

vulgar indeed

games will refuse to run on that card because of such obscene performance.

Anyone else but me seeing the ATItool application running in the Back? I am uncertain about this but, isn't ATItool for Radeon cards? or does it also work for Nvidia cards as well? beyond that, how is it working on hardware not yet released? I smell something fishy about this screenshot...

That aside I have some specs on the SIZE OF THIS MONSTER....I hope you guys been saving for a Lian Li case, cause GG this card wouldn't fit in my case unless I took a hacksaw to the front mounted drives.... AND THEN SOME...

Nvidia should bundle free cases with giant cards

G80, 8800 GTX, GTS numbers resurface

Search for a job:  WE MANAGED to get real measurements of both G80 based cards. You can take a ruler and measure your case and see if they are going to fit.
Geforce 8800 GTX card could be the biggest card ever, we are not sure about 7900 GX2 as we never had those in our hands. 8800 GTX is 28 centimetres long. In comparison, we measured the Radeon X1950 XTX card the highest end ATI and it is 23.5 centimetres long.

The cooler is four centimetres thick, takes both slots and Nvidia uses the same coolers on both cards. Both cards are 12.5 centimetres high, as this is the standard for all the ATX cards.

GTS is shorter at 24 centimetres roughly the size of X1950XTX. It has only one power plug. There is 1.9 centimetres space from the back of the cooler to the end of the card. GTX is 4.5 centimetres from the back of the cooler till the end of the card. GTX also has two power plugs based on the top of the card, just next to cooler. It will be easy to plug the power from the top of the card.

I hope it will fit in your case but if you have $650 for the card you should be able to afford a new case, or Nvidia could simply bundle some cheap case with the card and make your upgrade life easier. µ

28cm.... its approx 11" or just shy of 1 foot long... not to mention the cooler is 4 cm??? 0_o I am thinking of waiting for G80 but that 450USD price tag + the new case requirement... kinda prohibitive...

[Prowl]

hey everyone, free home heating!!!!

[Crixx_Creww]

prohibitive for 13k in 2k6??

i mean do yu fathom 13k !! omfg!!

[W1nTry]

Anyone realize the ATItool in the background? anyone BUT ME think this is a lil suspicious??? the NDA on G80 hasn't lifted yet, but here we have 2 unreleased parts (ala Core2 Quad AND G80..) something just kinda off imho... I can believe 13k since I have been reading 12K so 1K more should be doable... but this particular screenie I have my doubts about.

[Prowl]

Xfired x1950xtx's hit 11 and 12's even 13's so biggie, plus the guys on xtremesystems have had their hands on quad and even 8!!! core ES chips for months now. Ya I saw ati tool to! there is a hack for it to work on nvidia cards, don't know why use that to overclock the card tho?

Basically the scores would show a highly overclocked card, on a also highly overclocked quad core cpu. If anything the scores while possibly genuine are over inflated and inaccurate representation of the real world potential of the cards.

[W1nTry]

I still doh think 13k is a big thing. It's kinda expected of a new tech. Each one usually has to double the performance of the last. Since you said it urself X1950XTX Xfire hitting 13s, then the new single Nvidia & AMD parts have to hit the same or close. I am really curious about ur 8 core comment... but that aside, anyone have any specs on pipelines, shaders, shader type, etc? We know it uses a 384 bit wide mem controller and we know its running on a clock derivative of 500MHz. I hearing the shaders @ 1GHz and up. THe mem will be GDDR4 @ freq I not sure on, but I wanna know pipeline count. We speculate/know that R600 has 64 REAL pipes, and at least 64 unified shaders (expect more though) and we know its HUGE just like G80... but I wanna get an idea of how R600 and G80 will compete... and too I wanna see numbers on both AMD and Intel platforms. I guess we'll hadda put Kentfield vs. 4x4 but so far no dual/single core benchies.. and what about at STOCK?

[Prowl]

remember not too long ago I posted a canterwood sis sandra pics? That was an ES 8 core intel chip due q3 07! it will most likely be in xenon flavour for it's release tho. As past experience has shown ATI will match Nvidia at the very least, thast why they release after all the time. As far as 4x4 vs kents, AMD has to play catch up and if they do match/beat kentsfield with 4x4 intel has 8 core in the waiting, they are making DAMN sure not to do another presshot fiasco again.

As far as the agp x1950, I would say thats so not worth it as pcie is the way to go!

[.:Jedi:.]

Anyone realize the ATItool in the background......

ATi tool can be used on any video card. I used it on my 7800GT to overclock when i first got the card. Didnt like it tho.....but yea, it can be used with other cards beside radeon cards.

[TriniXaeno]

I say again, let them have their fun with those monster size cards. Those will never see the inside of my case.

The more reasonably spec'ed and sized younger brethren is where my targets will be set.
