Who needs a used GT8800 in some weeks :)

Wow, it's beautiful! Just what we need: many more shaders (=faster crunching) but just a few more texture units (=no wasted space :D ) and a simpler 256 Bit memory interface (=cheaper cards) as well as a much more manageable die size (=cheaper chips once the yield at 40 nm is good enough). That looks like a good mix for the 200 $/€ price point. And if TSMCs 40 nm process yields some nice power savings the chip might actually be able to use some of its clock speed potential, in contrast to GT200, which is quite heat-limited. Side note: seems like someone tried to translate German grammar directly into English, which usually doesn't work very well. In case you wonder what a sentence means: I gues there are enough Germans here to help you out ;) MrS Scanning for our furry friends since Jan 2002 |
