Upcoming 8800GT sighted

Formally known as G92, the lads over at TechConnect have sourced a nice pic of NVIDIA's soon to be 8800 GT graphics card which will take on AMD's upcoming RV670 based Radeon HD 2950.

Like RV670, it appears the 8800 GT will also sport a more compact single-slot cooling solution which covers the entire PCB, also hiding sight of a 6-pin PCIe power connector. Clock speeds are said to be somewhere around 600MHz on the core and 1800MHz memory.

the confirmed 112 pipes and 1500 mhz shader clock makes me start to believe these benches aren't probably that far off.

lol...you know what. i ranted in another thread. but im starting to believe i am quite wrong. this card does sound very promising. by that i mean it may very well have a chance at knocking the GTX off its high pedestal.

depending on how they test up/bench...well we'll see i guess.

Seems right to me... but Ultra scored 11k?...

well...if thats the case, then im not even the slightest worried about it bein a GTX killer. this new rumoured GTS should be a good match though.

yeah a stock Ultra would score 11K or so i rekon, running @ 612/1080. sounds about right i guess. my GTX when benched stock scores a little over 10K. but that was @ stock CPU not 3.6ghz..so yeah that is weird.


EDIT: ahhhhh. lol. they added some Eye candy. thats why.

See, this is exactly what happens when there is no damn competition!

Nvidia would have released a new line of GPUs by this novemeber as they usually did for the past 3 years for Geforce 6 , 7 and 8. Heck, i was very excited from the start and anticipated some geforce 9 news. But alas, i guess i will have to wait 6 more months

gtarmanrob

huh? they are releasing a new line of GPU's. well not a new LINE as such..but two new models, one of which (new GTS) will supposedly defeat the GTX, at a cheaper price. why complain?

theres no point in releasing a new line yet anyway, not because of a lack of competition, (lack of competition being an arguable point), but because to create a new line, would mean adding in DX 10.1, Pci-E 2.0...this apparent EDram. features that no one even needs or is able to utilise yet, nvidia doesnt need a new flagship. not yet.

You could say that but whenever ATI or Nvidia release a complete refresh, everyone questions the company and asks " Is this really that necessary?" or "SLI/crossfire is an over kill" but lets face it, it just helps the competition survive when the two companies introduce crazy new technologies or features that sound too good to be true.

My new 8800gts was now bought in vein theres $350 dollars spent before I could of waited for a GTS killer.
