And I can't wait to see them try and make a GeForce 8800 Go edition. :D]]>Oct 6th 2006 4:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/06/nvidia-g80-specs-revealed/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/06/nvidia-g80-specs-revealed/Oct 6th 2006 4:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/06/nvidia-g80-specs-revealed/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/06/nvidia-g80-specs-revealed/Oct 6th 2006 4:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/06/nvidia-g80-specs-revealed/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/06/nvidia-g80-specs-revealed/Oct 7th 2006 2:30AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/06/nvidia-g80-specs-revealed/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/06/nvidia-g80-specs-revealed/

Also, along those lines, it may bode quite well for ATI that they're onboard with AMD. They may be able to leverage AMD's 65nm (and eventually smaller) process technology to generate very competetive video cards at significantly lower power and heat levels. That would put quite a crimp in nVIDIA's style.]]>Oct 6th 2006 7:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/06/nvidia-g80-specs-revealed/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/06/nvidia-g80-specs-revealed/Oct 6th 2006 7:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/06/nvidia-g80-specs-revealed/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/06/nvidia-g80-specs-revealed/Oct 6th 2006 7:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/06/nvidia-g80-specs-revealed/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/06/nvidia-g80-specs-revealed/
At least in the G90 generation, Nvidia and ATI will start working on reducing heat and power requirements, since I guess graphics can't really get much better than they are now!]]>Oct 6th 2006 8:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/06/nvidia-g80-specs-revealed/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/06/nvidia-g80-specs-revealed/But, it'll likely cost around (if not more), than the PS3.]]>Oct 7th 2006 1:16AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/06/nvidia-g80-specs-revealed/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/06/nvidia-g80-specs-revealed/
im getting an ATI DX10 card, due to come out early 2007 so i can wait.

the rumored specs r here about the ATI card n Nvidia:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radeon_R600

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G80

n the specs so far for PS3 graphics engine:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PS3

scroll down tell u see a subtitle in bold called Harware Summary, then scroll down tell u see a highlighted Nvidia's GPU n Graphic Processing Unit. Really from reading it, it says that it is using a 256MB GDDR3 VRAM graphics engine from Nvidia clocked at 650 MHz, most likely this means the memory clock.

The 8800 GTX n GTS surpasses this by a lot. 768MB at 900 MHz n GTS at 640MB at 900 MHz also.

i think ATI's DX10 GPU will surpass Nvidia's 8800 GTX.]]>Oct 6th 2006 8:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/06/nvidia-g80-specs-revealed/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/06/nvidia-g80-specs-revealed/
Water coolant is used to move heat from one part of the PC to another. In most cases, this means it is used to move heat from the CPU to a radiator at the back of the PC, over which air is blown to remove the heat.

Why then, does this graphics card have both a fan/radiator/heatsink AND inlets/outlets for water? The only reason I could think of is that some parts of the card are directly air cooled (e.g. the RAM and such), while the GPU chip itself is water cooled. The thing is, if youre going over to water cooling, theres no reason why you wouldnt go the whole way.

The photo we are looking at is either fake, or some mutant hybrid prototype. Its unlikely to be a production device, in my opinion.

That's why I said it will make the PS3 seem cheap (cheap compared to the G80) and technologically inferior (again the PS3 compared to the G80).]]>Oct 7th 2006 2:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/06/nvidia-g80-specs-revealed/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/06/nvidia-g80-specs-revealed/Oct 7th 2006 3:16AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/06/nvidia-g80-specs-revealed/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/06/nvidia-g80-specs-revealed/No thanks.

These graphics cards makers better start spotting that people are more then happy to change to pay for nice graphics, but not all rush out and by a (DRM-filled) OS to do it.

This direct-x-10 vista only thing is going to cause Trouble.

or, and real innovation...guess thats voxal acceleration, dedicately designed physics chip, maybe dual or quad core on one card...reduced power consumption.
This is a fantastic card, but we should never kid ourselfs their isnt more that can be done.]]>Oct 12th 2006 7:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/06/nvidia-g80-specs-revealed/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/06/nvidia-g80-specs-revealed/

It might even swing some of the console fanboys to the PC gaming market. The way Sony is going on about it's graphical superiority these days, it's humorous to see a card already far elapsing the Ps3 in performance over a month before the Ps3 even hits the market.]]>Oct 7th 2006 3:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/06/nvidia-g80-specs-revealed/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/06/nvidia-g80-specs-revealed/]]>Oct 8th 2006 11:30AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/06/nvidia-g80-specs-revealed/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/06/nvidia-g80-specs-revealed/
my constructive estheticaly selfish complaint is i dont like the water cooler color, its dull, and unapealing, it should be neon green with see through acrylic shaded plastic with a sexy nvidia 3d chick holdin a sword on it and have a green led in the fan (wich is hopefully ultra quiet.)
this would be sexy and futuristic! i like that!

now my power to the people complaint is that its going to be disapointingly unaffordable for mainstream users who want a nice joy ride video card like this!

store clerks tell me that since 2002 any video cards over 300$ collect dust on shelves.
that cant be good!

this new nvidia card is genial, and electronicaly bizzare yet fantastic, but its needs a more exotic look and other than that its more than likely that only 5% of the population will afford one, wich of course sucks and is dissapointing yeh
