NVidia / Xbox

[glen]

If an NV 20 sells for $500.00
and
an X-Box sells for $350.00 (because MS is eating some of the cost)

...will I be able to strip the card out and use it in my PC?

What card.

 

[Noriaki]

Hahahahaha no.

The X-Box is a console. Think Playstation. Mostly like there will only be one PCB in the console. It's not like the NV2A is going to be slotted into an AGP slot, it will be built right onto the motherboard.

There will be no card inside the xbox just one big "motherboard" with everything soldered in. The nv2a wouldnt interface with a normal agp or pci bus anyways.

Just read over at 3dshack.com that the XBox will be sporting the GeForce 3 as it's video architecture. Man, now I seriously cannot wait for this toy to be on shelves.

/me reserves his today! 😀

LOL... We all have to dream sometimes.

Actually, J. Allard said it was more like an NV27.5, It in reality is a NV25 with the geometry capabilities from the NV30 (yes, it's in development).

So, no, the Xbox chip isn't a GeForce 3 at all! Much more powerfull than that.

Anyone know how much nVidia sells their chips (nv20) to board manufacturers like Asus, Hercules, etc.? It can't that much, because Microsoft surely isn't losing 150$ on each XBOX. I think the manufacturers are getting gready too.

The Xbox is a highly integrated solution. No chance of &quot;card swapping&quot;.

i think sony loses money on every ps2 it sells... it makes up for it thru licensing for the games you buy. so i don't think microsoft would mind if it lost money for the hardware. eventually it would get more back.

I WISH!!!

Sugadaddy....companies like the ones you mentioned buy chips from Nvidia in lots of usually 1-10,000....at sginificantly reduced prices...I'm doubting that they're paying more than $80 per chip...

ahfung,

LOL, I would not be surprised at all if he tries to pull something like that.
