Graphic Cards Nvidia GT200 thread

Our developer friends called it brute force chip, with not so much brains.

Putting 240 Shader units in the chip that basically remains on G80 and G92 design will naturally get things moving faster. More Shader units at faster clocks will always make your card faster, especially at higher resolutions.

G92 with 65nm design has 128 Shaders, while GT200 has 240, or almost twice as much. The die size of GT200 is much bigger than G92 and that is how you get the fastest chip around.

Our developer friends added that the last innovation that Nvidia did was G80 and that G92 is simply a die shrink of the same idea. You can look at GT200 as G92 with 240 Shaders.

This results in GT200 running quite hot, but it will compensate with sheer power, so let’s just hope that Nvidia's yields of such a huge chip (rumoured bigger than 550mm2) will be acceptable.

This is lethargy and lack of innovation due to lack of competition.

Ati.... do something....

only if ATI can get the R770 as fast as the 9800GX2 and the R700 as fast as the GT280 and still be able to manufacture them cheaper and hence sell them cheaper ...Then it will make Nvidia Bleed .

Nvidia cant possibly be thinking about putting 2 GT200 in one single card..coz cost will be prohibitive and not feasible to produce.

That way ATI will make money This gen and pick up the game to give Nvidia some thing to think about.

But all based on the speculation of the R770 been as fast as the 9800GX2 and the R700 as fast as the GT200.

You dont need that kind of power to game unles you play @ HD res.

The HD 4870 will be prized at $299 and will be about 30% faster than a 9800GTX i guess that is enuf cause most of the ppl play at 1680 X 1050 and below...not counting the uber rich ppl .

There will be a time when 1920 X 1200 will be the norm ... then ati will come up with a card for about $400 and with performance matching the demands of that res.

ATI is making cards that are power efficent .. feature rich ... good price/power ratio ... and more importantly making power(performance) affordable.
