I'm reading now- holy:Q

111.4FPS Q3 HQ 1024x768:Q

47.7FPS Q3 HQ 1600x1200:Q

In case anyone is wondering, those are 32bit numbers, and that is 472MHZ memory speed. 5ns=400MHZ default, this card is insanely fast It's running standard OpenGL FSAA(1.5x1.5) under Q3 at 1024x768 faster then my GF DDR without, holy shiznit:Q

 

[Rectalfier]

Wow, that's pretty damn fast!

C'mon 3dfx release the Voodoo5 6000, how else are you gonna compete against that beast?

 

[Charles]

Oh my Gosh!

 

[Looney]

Wow.. Gainward could become the next Hercules/Guillemot if they put this out fast enough.

 

[dawks]

Wow! heh.

 

[Czar]

Wow, thats going to cost





So does anyone wonder about the 250mhz DDRAM on the G800 when this card has 200mhz DDRAM and can overlock to 236mhz?

 

[RSI]

Holy shiet!

 

[sd]

I'm jealous, my POS CLA2 can barely o/c at all. Now I know why it was so cheap($227) :|

 

[Scope]

Hmmm my Creative gts hits 235/385 no problem. I have a buddy that gets the same so I guess you just got a good default card. Man 200n/s ram for the new 256bit memory bus on the nv20 will be amazing.
Scope!

 

[Quickfingerz]

Didn't anand get his to 250? Now, that's amazing.

 

[snow patrol]

How much is this 'GainWard' going to cost? Me want.

 

[Prodigy^]

whoa......this actually sounds like something in the price area of the V5 6k.....3DFX RELEASE IT NOW! arg.....

 

[Anaxagoras]

Tom listed/stated that the price of this card would be around 400$

 

[NFS4]

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[IvoryGrail]

my CL annilator is faster

 

[Mr.IncrediblyBored]

*thud*

...the sound of my jaw hitting the floor.

 

[Goi]

Woah, that's pretty impressive. But for that price and timeline, I think the next generation cards would have already arrived...

 

[snow patrol]

When exactly are the next batch of Video cards arriving? I'd love to think I could pick up something even faster than a Geforce 2 in only 2 or 3 more months...NV 20 perhaps? Any suggested release date for that?

 

[kyoshozx]

Nvidia is on a 6 month cycle, so october will be a good guess for the NV20.

 

[snow patrol]

Great I think I'll wait for that then

 

[NFS4]

Just think, if this GF2 on crack can hit these speeds, the NV20 is gonna OWN!!

 

[Do'Urden]

woah!!

Finally something I can accept! That card I'm getting!!

 

[Soccerman]

heh you guys haven't seen nothing yet! if that card was NOT limited by bandwidth, those numbers would be alot more impressive in Multitexturing apps. Well, not ALOT, but a fair amount. 400mhz is still not that great for that card. 472 is getting there though!

 

[Pocatello]

This is the videocard to get! If this thing is $400, it's a steal compare to the voodoo 5 6000.

 

[SSP]

wow... thats some nice FSAA numbers.
