G92-270/"8800 Gt"

[Xeron]

NVIDIA G92 successfully taped out


G92 is the next high-end graphics chip from graphics circuit manufacturer NVIDIA. The chip is expected to arrive in November this year and bring performance somewhere around 1 TFLOPS. Rumors even say that NVIDIA might be thinking of combing two of these to create a new GX2 card, and really squash ATI. There are still a lot of things to do till then, but it at least seems that NVIDIA has successfully taped out G92. The chip is made with a 65nm process, which is the same lane width ATI is using for its current low-end and mid-range assortment and the coming RV670 chip. There's no telling what kind of specifications there will be, but considering the TFLOPS speculations there should be plenty of transistors to play with.

Nvidia's G98 is a mainstream chip

Answer is plain and simple

SEVERAL READERS CAME back and asked us what is exactly G98, mentioned in previous stories by Mr. Demerjian and myself.

The answer is short and sweet. G98 is the new mainstream part with enhanced and more wide memory controller, going head to head with ATi's own RV670. G98 is all that G83 (8600) was supposed to be, but failed to deliver.

A while ago, a rumour about GeForce 8600 with 256-bit controller appeared on the market. That part is no other but the G98, even though the GF8600+256-bit is a bit downplayed, G98 is significantly faster and has much more shader power.

These are real $199 cards, not those notebook parts that were dumped into the desktop market. µ

G92 gunning for 800 MHz+ clock

Much improved hardware specs, speed

NVIDIA WANTS TO keep details about G92 and G98 under-wraps, but as the product is getting ready some details are slowly, but certainly slipping out of Graphzilla's cave.

Even though the company is trying to keep everyone in the dark, we managed to dig some information out for you. For starters, Nvidia is strongly on-board with DisplayPort and it is committed onto delivering DisplayPort in time for Dell's launch of the 2x08 series of displays, all of which should support DisplayPort connections. The launch should coincide with CES 2008 in Las Vegas. However, the company still has to sort out the problems that Charlie reported last week.

When it comes to performance, even if this chip was just a shrunk-down G80, the clock would give significant benefits in performance thanks to increased clock of the GPU itself. Luckily, for future owners, that is not the case - Nvidia reworked quite a lot of things from the original marchitecture to make this thing work faster.

We managed to learn that GPU clock has surpassed 800 MHz and that company plans to deliver the boards depending on yields they will get. So far, launch clock could be anywhere between 800 and 850 MHz, with 812/3, 824/5 and 830/5 being usual suspects. This time around, there is no hurry and Nvidia knows they can afford the launch of GTS/GTX and wait for R680 to show up and launch the Ultra version as a counter attack.

There is quite a lot Nvidia has to support with the G92 series of chips, and what yours truly wonders the most is will the G92 support just Open GL 3 (Long Peak), or will the chip support Mount Evans as well (upgrade of Long's Peak). Of course, DirectX 10.1 is also a moot point at this time, and worst case scenario would be support for DX10.0+, but somehow we don't feel that source was right on target.

Overall, one thing is certain - G92 will deliver significant performance boost at 8800 price standpoint. µ

Espero que não te importes, meti essa informação noutro forum, não meti com o sublinhado mas disse que tirei daqui.

Quanto a informação, essas G98 parece que vão competir com as 2900PRO.

Vai competir com as HD 2950Pro/GT.

As HD 2900 Pro e GT são simplesmente as HD 2900 XT nao funcionais. Estas so servem para completar o espaço no tempo ate ao lançamento das 2950Pro e GT.

Não.
As HD 2900 Pro/GT (RV670) são chips de 65nm, pelo que não podem ser uma versão "cortada" do core R600 de 80nm.

 

[CLPDJ]

exactamente... e como a minha x1950pro ser a 80nm... e não e uma versão cortada da 1950xtx (90nm) mas sim um gpu novo... e como o RV670, e novo......

Não.

Não:

As RV670 sao as HD 2950 Pro e HD 2950 GT. E são 55nm não 65nm.

As HD 2900 PRO e GT é para serem lançadas daqui a 1 mes, 2 meses no máximo. Seguir-se-ao as HD 2950 PRO e GT mais tarde (Dezembro/Janeiro maximo).

Acreditas em tudo o que um desconhecido colocou num post de um fórum, também ele desconhecido ?

Eu não.
E mais, não acredito nas specs da G92 que circularam uns posts mais atrás nesta thread.

Se são verdadeiros ou não, não sei. Mas parecem-me bastante próximos daquilo que tem sido falado.

A minha única duvida é se vai haver uma HD 2900pro/gt que é baseada nos chips nao funcionais da HD 2900 XT ou se saltam logo para as RV670.
Se os yields da HD 2900 XT forem muito altos é muito provável que nao haja nada e saltem logo para a RV670 como um novo chip.

Eu vou mandar-lhe uma pm a pedir o link. Afinal de contas, ele é um "newbie" no B3D, eu não .

Não é costume do CJ dar info dessa natureza sem mostrar o link original, e muito menos a apontar para um post anónimo de um fórum desconhecido.

G92 is a Geforce 9800

Games Convention 07:To kill the old ATI mith
We have confirmed that Nvidia is planning on announcing the next generation graphic card and that there is a big chance that they will call it Geforce 9800. This is the current plan and the card should come in November time.
We know that the card will be faster than anything before and this is not a surprise for us and Nvidia will one more raise the performance bars to the next level.

We know that the card supports PCIe 2.0 and that everything is going according to a schedule to meet the November retail launch.

G92, Geforce 9800 samples in September

Games Convention 07: To some high profile customers

Nvidia is doing the final preparations in order to send the first samples of Geforce 9800 or something that we know as G92 to its high end partners and developers.
Very few priviledged people will get one that early and if all goes well there will be some G92 cards in some developers and customers PC alredy in September.
Nvidia is about to gether a lot of editors to tell them how good the new chips in October and the reviews and the real retail / etail launch is expected in November.

Of course this means that the G92 chip is taped out and that it works well.

Deve ser um autentico monstro esta placa. e finalmente devemos ter uma placa que corra DX10 em condições.


A velocidade do core é mais que sabido que vai aumentar, principalmente devido ao processo de 65nm.

A velocidade das memorias igualmente visto que agora devem usar a GDDR4. Também deve ter uma arquitetura de 512bits.


Quanto aos shaders, será que vão manter os 128 Shaders, ou será que os vão aumentar?

a minha gtx oc corre-me o bioshock em dx10 em condições... 50/60 fps em media... a 1600x1200 td no max, acho que é em condições...

A nova geração já é PCI-E 2.0, dará para aproveitar ao máximo estas placas com uma board com chipset P35???

Claro, mas deve dar para aproveitar aínda mais com as nForce 7 que a Nvidia deverá lançar ao mesmo tempo que as Geforce 9, em Novembro.

Contudo, a diferença entre PCIe X16 e PCIe 2.0 X16 é mais teórica do que práctica.

Obrigado blastarr, assim já compro a P5K-E mais descansado.
