Possible Nv40 Price Points?

[Skillian]

Well the prelim pictures of the NV40 I posted here over a week ago were laughed at, but turned out to be real, and the Aquamark scores I posted are looking like they might be the real deal also. So scoff away if you want, and I promise I won't say I told you so

Some more pics and and a possible price point for the GeForce 6800 and GeForce 6800 over here. Another foreign site I'm afraid, but you get the gist.

$399 Ultra
$299 Non-Ultra

Sounds OK to me, if they translate into British prices at the normal exchange rate, you'll be able to get a 6800 for under £200.

Are the 6800's the top of the line? And are they not gona be good and then switch to 6900? hahaha $400 seems low for the top of the line card...pretty good.

[Skillian]

Yeah, the 6800 Ultra will be the best card available when it comes out. Still unconfirmed, but you're probably looking at Q2/Q3 for the native PCI-Express version of the NV40, and then the next high end will be the NV45/NV48 in Q3/Q4. After that mid range/mainstream versions of these cards will come out.

'Course all this might be thrown into chaos if ATi's offering is a real contender - and that's looking more likely than it was a few days ago - see Will ATI Radeon X800 Have 33% More Pipelines Than Anticipated?

Perhaps Nvidia might need to worry again...

@Skillian:

those april fools pics u posted were false in 1 way: the chip itself.

the picture you saw was the 6800 non-u i believe, which is why it only has 1 molex. the 6800u has 2 (others, please check this)


so dont even try to infer that you told us so

[Skillian]

The pictures I posted had two molex connectors - and I think it'll be two connectors whether the card is ultra or not.

[Mad Cat]

Two direct molex connectors. Thats bloody nasty

/me thinks we won't be seeing an NV4x's in laptops

[Skillian]

You should see the preliminary NV50 cards

Dipfuck? That&#39;s a bit h4rsh.

It was a joke, I don&#39;t think they&#39;ll be powering GFX cards with nuclear power stations for a couple of years yet.
