They are up against the refresh part by May, not the 8800GTX.

I find it alarming they are on the 14th spin of the card, you usually see production at A3 or A4 silicon, not A13

young ... for a long time ;)

as to emoticon usage ... you will get a *confession* :p

as a writer, i feel very restricted by the strict structuring of our written languages and to convey *thought* requires a lot of 'explanation' ... in a very formal manner ,,,

'this' is more of a 'short cut' ... an informal way to write like we speak

and i just enjoy slaughtering English
:Q

you *get* what i mean :light:
:confused:

ALSO ... ATF is very *limited* in our choices .... compared to modern forums:lips:
... so i am forced to reuse emoticons over-and-over

and "thanks" for explaining your DHS Ranch thing
:roll:


BACK ON Topic

Revision A-13
:shocked:

the more they say nothing is *wrong* the more they SLIP that there IS something really wrong and that they are *lost*

Conversely theres an article on vr-zone saying ~40 vec4 but 64 vec4 sounds a bit more realistic.

To get a 512mb memory config, G80 would need to have only 4 of 6 ROP blocks activated (each ROP block addresses 128mb of memory). This doesn't sound like a very good idea for something that will probably need to be very strong in AA/AF @ high res (if it is to perform comparably to "normally SLI'd G80's and compete with R600) to me...

So you'll get 2 GPU's performing individualy just below G80 GTS. Still makes a pretty good GX2 card if you ask me.
