Possible Nv40 Price Points?

[Skillian]

Well the prelim pictures of the NV40 I posted here (http://filesharingtalk.com/index.php?showtopic=107271&view=findpost&p=956160) 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. (http://www.darkcrow.co.kr/Home/home.asp?idx=#3018) 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.

[bigdawgfoxx]

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? (http://www.theinquirer.net/?article=15248)

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]

:blink:

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 :wacko: :blink:

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

[Skillian]

You should see the preliminary NV50 cards

thats an fx 5800 you dipf__k.

however, i dont remember the nuclear powerplant tho <_<


lol u need to learn to link better: the true URL is here (http://filesharingtalk.com/index.php?showtopic=107271&st=0&#)

[Skillian]

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.

lol i coulda sed anything from dipfu<k to dipf00k to dipfudgelickingpiecesoff00k

Look, I just want to chat about the new graphics cards. If you want to flame me do it in PM or another topic.

[RGX]

Once again its the inquirer, who generally tend to be right by covering all their bases just in case.

"Its going to be 16 pipelines"

"Its goiing to be only 8 pipelines"

"Its going to be 12 pipelines"

"32 pipelines&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;"


After all, one of them must be right ;).


However on this issue I hope they are correct. I would like to see the cost of graphics cards drop from a consumer perspective.

ok :P

[bigdawgfoxx]

Ok...so there will be the N40 then the N45 and N48 which will be the PCI express versions?

I thought the 12000 in 3dmark03 was with pci express...I guess not though lol.

How much of a diff in 3d mark do you think pci express will have?

2 molex conectors...holy crap...it needs alot of power..

In terms of 3d mark, I&#39;d be surprised if it showed a big increase.

Lol, yeah that&#39;s true - they&#39;re more of a rumour mill than a news site.

my guess is that in the near future the cards still wont have enough horse power to use teh full extent of pci express&#39;s bandwith, but atleast that bandwith will be there in teh future for the higher horsepower cards. Plus for now atleast the actual card will be the lbottleneck, rather than the socket...
