NV40

[V0ices]

Memorial day! May 30th nv40.com for link to full interview with NVIDIA'S VICE PRESIDENT OF Technical Marketing, Tony Tamasi.

Tamasi: By Memorial Day the 6800 Ultra will be available, and by July 4th, the full line of the 6800 series will be broadly available.

64-Bit memory?

I think it's a sarcastic take on the FX5200 64-bit

The TechReport has it also on 5 easy-to-read (fast loading) pages.

WELL WORTH READING if you are interested in NV40 (with a few "swipes" at ati).

GeForce 6800: non 2, ma 3 soluzioni

Geforce 6800 Pro on the way?

WE SPOTTED A LINK at a very famous Italian web page about a card that Nvidia didn't want to talk about at least not so far. Hardware Upgrade wrote here here that there will be more Nvidia cards on the Geforce 6800 marchitecture then Nvidia is actually telling any of us.
They already made the statement that the 6800 Ultra card clocked at 400MHz core and 1100MHz memory will cost $499 and that the 6800 non Ultra will be clocked at 350MHz core and with 700MHz memory and these cards use DDR1.

The third card that Nvidia hasn't spoken about is the 6800 PRO - very unusual choice of name if that is the final one. This card should fit in between the Ultra and non Ultra, and be clocked at 350MHz for the core and 1000MHz DDR 3 for the memory.

The Italians suspect that this card will end up with 12 pipelines and we suspect that it will be around $399.

This card should directly compete with the R420, soon to be officially named the Radeon X800PRO.

digit-life does it again NVIDIA GeForce 6800 Ultra (NV40). Part 1: Architecture Features and Synthetic Tests in D3D RightMark

Worth reading . . . from yesterday.

Great. When is the NDA up for the R420? I seriously doubt the R420 will be as fast let alone faster but I'd like to be sure before I drop upwards of $500.

May 4th and they are supposed to available then.

Personally i think 6800u will wipe the floor with x800pro . . . but it'll be a different matter with x800xt.


edit
A few things that we know about ATI's X800PRO

The card hidden under the R420 codename will be introduced on 4th of May but ATI swears blind that it won't have any launch party for it.
The R420PRO slower version will materialise a few weeks before the faster R420XT, X800XT.

The R420PRO should be clocked at a 475MHz core and 900MHz memory and will feature 12 pipelines. The memory it uses is GDDR3 in this version of the card.

The cards will be red and will be physically almost the same as Radeon 9800XT as theoretically we are talking about a chip very similar to R300 shrink from 0.15µ to 0.13µ with some more pipelines and algorithms.

The card will consume much less power then the Geforce 6800 Ultra and will have only one power connector. It will work in the Shuttle XPC and that is something that the ATI PR manager has confirmed. It will also fit into XPC as it's a one slot beast.

Cards won't have pixel shader 3.0 support as they're based on similar marchitecture to R300 core and will stick to PS 2.0 at the time being. 128 bit precision will also be missing as ATI chip can support 24 bit per colour - 96 bit altogether.

There's also the R420 features special 3Dc compression that we mentioned here . . .

i hope it is 16 pipes. that way it can be OCed into a 6800U. i can already see the threads: how can i flash my 6800 pro into a 6800 ultra
