Don't quote me on it, I very well may be wrong, But something tells me the HD 2950XT will be quite a bit faster than the 8800GT. Now...the GTS with 112 sp's may be a different story. But we shall see in a few weeks.

Rumours are just rumours, but today they tell us that GT will be with 112 sp's and new GTS 640MB (Which will launch 19.11)will be with 128 sp's and will beat that old GTX. There is also word about new GTX..

8800 GT performance:

They don't have any DX10 tests, but..

8800 GTS 320MB atleast did beat HD2900XT in DX10
 
Where are you finding info concerning the 8800GT with 112 sp's ? As with 128 sp's for the new GTS ? I cannot find anything on that as of yet.

http://news.expreview.com/2007...6/1192531381d4181.html 8800 GTS
Same source said that 8800 GT is 112SP


This is rather funny:

Of course there are errors but that says this 8800 GT works with 900MHz for core and 2250MHz for shaders..which are pretty high compared to default clocks. I'm suprised that FUAD ain't jumping on walls from that picture..

Wow, awesome specs. And the power consumption isn't even super high! And nice price, too! This is looking good...

..but still speculation 😛. It's like at February when there were some results and specs and they did say that HD2900XTX beats 8800 Ultra easily. Well that card didn't ever show up.

It's clear that 8800GT will appear in the market in monday, 29th Oct. But maybe you are all thinking about the second G92 product: new 8800GTS.

According to the sources, the new 65nm 8800GTS will announce in Monday,19th Nov, a week later than 780i(12nd Nov). The price is CNY2299(~305 USD) .

It's known new 8800GTS will have 128 SP. But still no evdience about the core clock, memory clock and shader clock. The score we have earlier already prove that 8800GT can beat 8800GTS(old). And we believe the 65nm 8800GTS(new) will better than 8800GTX(old).

So please be awared of 29th Oct,and 29th Nov. And please remember the RV670 will be coming 15th Nov.

Rumours about G92 being a 65nm version of G80 is all over the place. Looks like its almost confirmed now.

This means that the Ultra/GTX/GTS variants could infact be clocked pretty damn high since the 8800GT runs at such a low vcore. (1.05~V) Bump that to 1.2~to 1.4 for the high end ones and seeing ultra/GTX cards around the 800Mhz frequency range doesn't sound so impossible.

By the looks of it, nVIDIA is refreshing the current lineup with 65nm G92 (which has VP2 and integrated NVIO and maybe other things) but sticking with the same naming scheme.

 
Hmm.. my GTS 640MB 'dies' in Unreal Tournament 3 when I put on high quality AA.. wonder if that new GTS 640MB could deal with those settings. By the way..will there be AA on AMD cards in UT3 anytime soon..so we could have first real comparison of performance?
 
man I donno if I should just jump on the GT or wait for the next GTS... arrr this sucks... atleast its in a good way though.
 
I'm going to wait for the GTS. I was hoping to see a die-shrunk GTX all along, which is basically what it would be if it has the full 128 SPs.
 
Have we gotten G92 GTS pictures anywhere yet? Will it be single-slot like the GT? Any idea if it will not be Tri-SLI capable like the GT as well?

Show me one benchmark, with both at stock speed, that shows the 7900GS beating the 7900GT. Perhaps you meant 7900GT vs 7800GTX?

if agree that makes no sense. a 7900gs at stock is 5/6th of a 7900gt. its just a 7900gt with 1 of 6 quads turned off.

How about 'show me a 7900GS available at stock speeds'? 🙂 Every 7900GS I've seen had a factory OC on it (like in AnandTech's own review). But yeah, both cards bone stock the 7900GT wins by a bit.
 
I'm hoping the new 8800gts will be like a 7900gt compared to the older 7800gtx - same number of shaders only it can clock much higher. Somehow, though, I don't see why Nvidia would continue calling such an obvious refresh card the same name. These two factors just don't add up.

My PNY 7900GS that's in the system I'm using right now to type this message runs at "stock" Nvidia speeds. They even say so on their product page, "450MHz core." It's great actually, because I'm running a passive cooler on it.

From that other post we had about SLI compatibility between GTS revisions, I'd guess that they are trying to play up SLI as a legitimate upgrade path/high-end solution more than they have been recently. They will no doubt be phasing out all of the current GTS models once G92 is out and would probably love it if they can convince the folks who bought a G80 card this past year to grab a second one.
 
One thing that is confusing me is that they are releasing a 8800gts with 112 sps, why would they do that as it would only give around 5% -10% increase performance compared to the GT and would cost more for Nvidia to make, and therefore the 8800gts will be priced a fair amount higher

The only reason i can think of is for people who already have one 8800gts and want to pair up these cards
 
Ares202:
8800 GT has 112 SP, new 8800 GTS has 128 SP's. 8800 GT and new GTS has same G92-chip, but in 8800 GT G92 has some procesessing units disabled. So 8800 GT and GTS should cost the same when it comes to GPU (perhaps GT is more expensive). There would be only 14% difference there, but we don't know about clock frequencies.

8800 GT has TDP value of 110W so there should be room for new GTS, GTX and Ultra. Old GTS has TDP value of 143W and GTX 185W. 8800 GT also works with low voltage setting.. just add more voltage and better coolers (Perhaps GDDR4-memory?)

 
In about 12 days we'll know what the real 8800GT performance differences are and I guess about a week or two after that we'll see how the new 8800GTS looks. I hope to build a new rig about mid-November so these new cards come out at a good time for me. I cant wait to see how they do.

yeah, your rig is clearly outdated. Every time I get 22fps on my 1950xt, I think, "Well, at least I don't have skott's rig."
