NV40 Rumored Specs

[GokuSS2]

Well the rumors start flying.

0.09 Micron Process
300-350 Million Transistors
750-800 MHz Core
16MB Embedded DRAM (134M trans.)
1.4 GHz 256-512MB DDR-II Memory
8 Pixel Rendering Pipelines (4 texels each)
16 Vertex Shader Engines
204.8 GB/sec Bandwidth (eDRAM)
44.8 GB/sec Bandwidth (DDR-II)
25.6 GigaTexels per Second
3 Billion Vertices per Second
DirectX 10 (or extended 9.1)
Release 2Q 2004

Wonder if it will be affordable?

[ilovetheusers]

It's set to come out in 2004 so it'll be the same price as a ATI 9700 is now. Too much.

I wonder if there will be computer games by then. The PC game section in the stores gets smaller and smaller and smaller every year. Of course with almost every single game being a direct descendant of doom/spear of destiny and warcraft/command and concur...

Being that I'm an ATI fan, I'm waiting on the ATI R400, supposed to be out Q3 2003, it'll probably rock just like the 8500 and 9700 did. I buy a new card at the end of every year anyway so it should fall into my range by then.

204.8GB/sec memory bandwidth seems really really far-fetched to me...and being that the NV35 is supposedly going to just be an NV30 with 256-bit DDR and a faster core, that seems way ahead of its time.

On top of that, MS usually does not release a new DirectX a year later.

But ya never know

If this thing has the specs listed when its released, ATI is gonna be shaking in their boots. They dont have a chance of competing with this thing.

Well, how do we know what ATI has around the corner?

They could and probably do have just as many tricks up their sleeve as NVIDIA does.

Ya never know in this business

It's a damn shame if you ask me that NVIDIA's super-hyped GeForceFX just barely beats out the 9700 Pro, and at $100 more, with added heat and noise.

What kind of rumors are those Goku?

I just put down some random specs. There is no information on NV40. And the only official info about NV30/NV35 is whatever NVIDIA has said in its "CineFX" documents for NV3x series.
