Hi.
As with my DeltraCrome post, this may or may not be a repost.
I cant say that these definiately are pics of r420 and nv40, so dont flame.
Theses are taken from a link at Rage3D.

does the r420 have 2 power inputs? is that a micron symbol on the core? DDR3? WTF, i have not even seen a steady supply of DDR2. Does the NV40 have more RAM? looks like it has more chips. I have never seen a core that looks like the nv40, does it have some sort of wrapping? What is that connecter at the uperleft hand corner of the NV40?
 
so many questions this guys has.

I just curious why the ATi card is PCI and why it uses the old ATi symbol.

Remember it's not DDR2 or DDR3, it's GDDR2 and GDDR3. Just like what they used on the FX 5800 and R9800 256mb

So just cos DD2 is`nt common place, then it makes GDDR3 bogus. Good Logic that

DDR2 has some heat problems, what if DDR3 fixes that. Not actually saying it does, just a possible reason for a quick dissappearance of DDR2.

As VIAN said, DDR2 has heat problems.. so what i was saying is if DDR2 has problems... and theyre jumping to DDR3? maybe theyre doing a whole new design but based on same features... kinda like 9800pro and 9800XT, just new features and worked out the bugs.

Looks weird too... dunno just feels like its bogus when i look at it, thats all im saying.
 
OOOOOOOO AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.......................

Looks like every other video card they have ever built...............

lol i guess they look different to the trained eye
 
The ATI card is not R420, it is their chip which they use to test GDDR3. And the NVIDIA part is propably FX 5700 which is too used for GDDR3 testing.

btw, I saw these cards two months ago 🙂
 
Hmm it appears the ATi card has less than 64MB of memory on board, although the PCI-Express slot design would indicate its a newer card. Possibly a Value solution? The chip says "Viper" on the core, anyone know what chip that codename refers to?

That could however be an NV40.

??? It says ATI on it!

I think your right though, it could be a Value part, cos AFAIK, the highend ones code name is Loki.

 
The ATi one is a PCI card. Looks to me much more like a GDDR3 RAM evaluation vehicle than an actual graphics card - particularly because Micron made the PCB.

It isnt PCI, its PCI-Express.
