NVIDIA G70 GPU - More GeForce 7800 Goodness

[Cataphract]

From Tweakers.net. The Afrikaans people should manage the Dutch. Tough for the Rooinekke!

"De eerder uitgelekte informatie (http://www.tweakers.net/nieuws/37362) over de nVidia GeForce 7800 GTX-videokaart blijkt authentiek te zijn. Tweakers.net heeft de officiële specificaties van de nieuwe G70-core recent in handen gekregen en deze blijkt zeer goed overeen te komen met de geruchten: Het wordt een 0,11µ-core met een kloksnelheid van 430MHz, voorzien van 24 pixel pipelines en 8 vertex shaders. In de G70-core is een vernieuwde shaderarchitectuur (CineFX 4.0) aanwezig die de prestaties van met name Shader Model 3.0-spellen flink zou verbeteren. nVidia claimt in het document dat bepaalde shaders wel twee keer zo snel uitgevoerd kunnen worden op G70 dan op NV45, met name dankzij een nieuw ontwerp van de texture units. Hiermee wordt specifiek gedoeld op HDR-effecten (high dynamic range) met 64-bits floating point textures. Deze techniek om de belichting natuurlijker over te laten komen zal onder andere intensief gebruikt worden in Unreal Engine 3.0. Volgens onze informatie zou de kaart in de praktijk ongeveer 50% sneller zijn dan de GeForce 6800 Ultra, en tussen de 18.000 en 20.000 punten scoren in 3DMark03."

And then when you go out and buy it, it doesnt feel 50% faster but rather 10% faster and then you tell yourself its like 150% faster and that R29598709489 wasnt a waste of money.

Besides its the "Latest and Greatest" thing out now.

Honestly can anyone say when they upgraded from one card to another they felt a massive, terrific, incredible speed increase?

[ShadowElf]

I can, went form the geforce mx440 to a x800 pro, big difference

[<A>FluX.v2.0]

i went from a 9800 to a x800 and i felt a big difference.

[D>Fantom]

I went from Geforce 2 mx to Geforce 4Ti and SAW the difference
When I moved from the Geforce4ti to a Geforce 6600GT I only felt the difference

[BuZzBar]

i upgraded from a 6800GT to a ati 7500 LE and felt a huge increase in speed ;)

[Peon]

How many more FPS?


Felt or saw is like an emotion. Is there a vast increase in 3D points? Figures needed guys not "Feel or saw" :p And going from like a TNT2/MX440 -> to a X850 or what ever doesnt count. Im coming from a 9600 Pro to a X700 pro.


Oh btw, Seeing as most of you didnt read the dutch. They were comparing its spec and stuff to the 6800 GT, and over the GT its 50% faster, apparently. I dont think we all on the same page.

I thought Afrikaans people were red neks..

[Cataphract]

ArcAngel, they're comparing it to the 6800 Ultra, no the GT. Check again.

Correct Karnaugh, but there is a difference between Rooinekke (British infantry sent to SA in the late 1890's) and Red Necks (the Hicks in the States). The Afrikaners are the local equivalent of the latter.

[hai2u]

Hahhahaaa :D

[[B.Inc]=_sNaKe_=]

I went from an MX440 to a FX5200 to a FX5700 to my current FX5900XT. Theres a moerse diff between an MX440 and a 5900XT, but from, say a MX440 to a FX5200(which I only had for like 2 days :P)theres very little, and from the FX5200 to a FX5700 isn't THAT much either. I stilll think the main reason why ppl upgrade isnt so their games run faster, but so they can compete with benchmark points. I think thats the gayest, lamest thing in the world, but hey, we all can have opinions. I only upgrade when Im not happy with the latest UT installment running smoothly :D

Felt or saw is like an emotion.
For me felt is sort of emotional. It seems faster, but you can't place it.
When I say I saw the difference I mean games looked different (shaders, pixel lighting etc...)

Cataphract, jy weet waar jy daai aanmerking kan druk....

speak for yourself... I'm a bonehead and gunny a clutch plate

P.S. What's the point of getting a uber fast Nvidia that has no image quality?

[GunJitsu]

Clutch plates rule . Nvidia are still trying to get a single slot GPU to perform like an ATI.

[<A>FluX.v2.0]

yep...

And it wont happen anytime soon though either, now that they have convinced people about the "wonders of sli"

[Gamos]

...and ATI is following suite with AMR (Ati's answer to SLI)

Brand loyalty is retarted!

[<A>FluX.v2.0]

Hey man I cant help it if a certain product has allways seemed to treat me right!
