From our most mighty source ooo, we have picked up some top information on Nvidias latest graphics chip, the NV 30.

First some impressive information on how fast it is : whilst playing Quake 3 at 1280x1024 with FSAA 4x NV30 gets 2.4 times the score GF4 TI 4600 gets; Playing Doom 3, NV30 gets 3.5 times the performance Ti4600 shows; NV30 gets 3 times more points over at 3dmark 2001 then that ol' card 4600.

Also, the pixel fill while using AF x2 is 2.7 faster then 4600, and NV30 can run 200 million triangles per second, which is quite impressive. Finally : The banwidth on the new board gets to the speed of 48GB/sec using DDR-II that will run at 1Ghz; but it's in doubt that samsung will supply them any time soon.

Sounds like a very, very nice card.
