From nVnews forum. Nvidia G71. Geforce 7900 Ultra?

[fliguy84]

Hopefully this could shed some facts about the upcoming card.

NVIDIA CFO Marv Burkett and VP Michael Hara at CSFB Annual Technology Conference 2005 revealed more about the GeForce 7 series where the 90nm G72 (GeForce 7200) and G73 (GeForce 7600) will be announced in Q1 next year. G72 will be 64-bit and support TurboCache technology. Marv Burkett revealed that GeForce 7200 and 7600 series will last between one to one and half year. G71 will be 90nm and is expected to be much higher clocked at 750MHz. As for G80, the development process has been smooth and is slated for mid 2006 release which i suppose during Computex 2006. Also G80 will support Shader Model 4.0.

And no, I don't get nvidia reference cards nor affliated with AEG

Honestly, I doubt 750mhz without liquid cooling, even at 90nm thats pushing it.

Why? Lookat at the 7800GTX512 with dual-slot cooling at 110nm. Default is 550 MHz (up from the GTX 430 MHz) and some are o/c to 600 MHz. With a die shrink, it should be possible for 750MHz on 90nm.

some people have gotten there r520 up that high so it could happen but it would have such poor yield it could cost more then the 7800GTX 512.

750mhz is totally possible for 90nm

remember Ati have just moved over to this... their 90nm cards already run 625mhz, and rumours of a 700Mhz XT PE are floating. as the process matures, and NV have had practice with it with lower end product the designers should be able to make 750mhz no problems.

GTX 512 already comes in at 550mhz and people are oc'ing to 600 easy money. all this on 110nm process, courtesy of design refinements

Also G80 will support Shader Model 4.0, damn it they dont even have games using shadoer model 3.0 yet and they wanna bring out 4?

I?ve always thought there will be a an Nvidia 7 series ultra card no matter what people have said on here, and I?ve also thought that it will be fabbed on the 90nm tech. I just wonder will it bring 32 pipes, or just become the end of 24 pipes with a very high clock, and tapped out on the smaller fab.

EDIT: Also what about this WGF 1.0 / 2.0 and DX10 9.0L is this going to be incorporated into the next ATI/nVidia line up?

 

[Cooler]

There will always be a PE/Ultra as long as there is an ATI/nvidia

 

[fliguy84]

kinda confused here myself. so is SM4.0 = Dirext10/WGF 2.0?
