What? No dual slot cooler? Result of new manufacturing process? Is it 0.11 or 0.09 micron?

The information on the nVidia GeForce 7800 Gtx-videokaart, earlier leaked out, proves be valid. Tweakers.net have got the official specifications of new G70-core recent in hands and these appear very good come with the rumours: It becomes 0,11µ-core with a bell speed of 430MHz, provides with 24 pixel pipelines and 8 vertex shaders. In G70-core renewed shaderarchitectuur are (CineFX 4.0) the presently those performances of particularly Shader model 3.0-spellen considerably would improve nVidia claimt in the document which certain shaders as much as two times can be carried out this way rapidly on G70 then on NV45, particularly thanks to a new design of the texture Units. It is aimed specifically on Hdr-effecten (high dynamic range) with 64-bits floating point textures. This technique the belichting more of course to leave come be used among other things intensively in Unreal Engine 3.0. according to our information the card in practice approximately 50% than the GeForce 6800 ultra faster will be, and between 18,000 and the 20,000 points score in 3DMark03.

The GeForce 7-serie beside better performances also something better must deliver a quality product than the current generation. Under the denominator Intellisample 4.0 a number of relatively small improvements has been, as it happens, introduced in the field of anti-aliasing (AA) and anisotropic filtering (AF). Also the video decoder is getweakt for better performances and quality. Furthermore is interesting know that the card is arranged for the new architecture of Longhorn. Most likely the Windows Graphics foundation (version 1.0) is meant. This meanss among other things that the chip to multithreading can do. The card - which the slogan gets "Full Throttle Graphics" - will be shown on Computex (31 May up to 4 June) by Asus and MSI, but it is unclear if nVidia will announce him on that grant also. Earlier rumours spoke, as it happens, concerning 22 June. Finally we can present still a photograph of the new card. What immediately is notable the compact cooler, which seems only one confiscate lock, is. Although the information on the requirement seems Watt feeding be correct 400, however, the warmth development possibly therefore nevertheless turns out better than expected.

and yes it's dutch. Dont believe anything they say before you see benchmarks tho.

I would like to know where they got this information from? They are the only people that have it. It would seem to me that Nvnews would get this information before them or maybe Neowin. That card looks too long to fit and almost any case. Im calling bullsh!t.

hmmm i dunno i still think them specs are a little tooo modest

Another site says the same thing:

Specs and more explanation

Im still gonna call BS. They even got the power requirements wrong. 34 amp for SLI, that is so off the mark it isn't even funny.

It's stating generally that if you have a power supply that is a 500w model and you want to use it with two GTX's make damn sure it has a strong +12v rail of around 34amps. For example, keep away from Q-tec. :p

Well technically, until Nvidia actually announced the cards, most of the information is still considered rumours. I would be somewhat suprised if G70 debuts at 430mhz vs. 550 for PS3 given the improved airflow in a mid-tower case, larger/faster rpm fans, larger heatsink, etc. Unless of course PS3 part was 90nm and this is 110nm.....allowing the former to run cooler and thus aiding higher clock speeds. Then again Nvidia cards tend to overclock better than ATI ones (ie. ti4200 vs. 8500, 5900 vs. 9700/9800, 6800 vs. x800 series). So I am sure users will be able to squeeze another 50mhz. It would be somewhat dissappoint if the cards are only 50% faster though given that last jump was 100% and I recall ATI has stated that next performance jumps (ie. R500, R600, 700) would be even greater.

This is the case. SONY actually fabs the G70-based NSX? NRX? themselves on the 90nm process.
Nvidia has TSMC fab their G70's on the 110nm process for now. There is talk that the line will move to 90nm.

I think the specs we are seeing are for the vanilla G70. :evil:

I would be more apt to believe that however the size of the card still doesn't seem believable.

it's been said that only the GTX model and above will have SLI, perhaps that was a pic of a 7600 GT? who knows.

I agree that 34A would be WAY overkill, but they're just talking about needing a quality PSU with a rating of about 34A max for the SLI configuration, which makes perfect sense. A lesser PSU would have shaky power going to the cards and would cause instability. Remember that they're most probably giving a worst-case scenario because all PSU's are NOT created equally.

a quality 400W PSU with ~20+ A on the +12V rail for for a 7800 equipped PC is reasonable (remember that they are making allocation for the fact that users are most probably using demanding CPU's as well, and quite possibly a dual core solution).

a quality ~500W PSU with a rating of ~30+ A for an SLI config also makes sense. Remember these are just ballpark figures here - Even a 450W Enermax/Antec produces 30+ A on the 12V rail (max).


I don't know why everyone is so disappointed about 24 pipelines/430 MHz/1.4 GHz RAM - it's faster than anything we have so far and it can be SLI'ed!! Sure both companies are working on faster stuff, but for the here and now, it looks to be a very solid card once released.

The only thing which I find striking (shocking) is the ridiculous length of the card. Nvidia has never been one to shy away from a long card, and this continues their tired old tradition. This card looks to be almost double the length of a regular GPU. Sure it needs a lot of power, but I wouldn't be surprised if ATI's next card is significantly shorter (as always).

Nvidia, get with the program!

I agree, but don't forget that any pics you see now are probably of pre-retail samples. Its well known that some of these beta type cards are a lot bigger then the final product. We'll have to wait and see.
