Circaflex Posted February 13, 2005 Share Posted February 13, 2005 lemme guess, you got this from that retard that posted this months ago on [H] forums? besides, it doesn't have a source. 585461622[/snapback] Haha i was just thining the same thing, if this is really what the card is going to be like, good luck 1. affording it 2. finding it for anything below 100 dollars over MSRP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daxbash5000 Posted February 13, 2005 Share Posted February 13, 2005 I find it funny that nVivia's card already have some of those features... like; FP32 blending, texturing Shader Model 3.0 Performance: Over 3x Radeon X800 XT :p lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chode Posted February 13, 2005 Share Posted February 13, 2005 I find no validity in this because of the lack of a source. Did you's hear about NVIDIA new 6900 Ultra XT 9000 HAL?96 "Pipelines" 128 Texture Units 413 Arithmetic Logic Units (ALU) 981 Shader Operations per Cycle 4.2GHz Core 9134.7 Trillion Shader Operations per Second (at 4.2GHz) 512-bit 1024MB 2.9GHz GDDR7 Memory 921.6 TB/sec Bandwidth (at 2.9GHz) 1-3 hundred Transistors 1nm Manufacturing Shader Model 14.0 NVIDIA SuperMemory NVIDIA Omni Display Gadget (NODG) Launch: Q3 2005 Performance: Over 200x Radeon 6800Ultras !!! (for single 69UXT9H) 32x Uber FSAA FP64 blending, texturing Programmable Primitive Processor/Tesselator Advanced Artificial Intelligence Optional Laser Beams I'm not poking fun (in entirety :p), I'm just illustrating that without a credible source (or any source at all) that there is no validity in this.

ANova Posted February 13, 2005 Share Posted February 13, 2005 I doubt it could really be 3X faster than X800XT since it only has a little more than twice the peak theoretical fill rate and 1.5 times the pipeline size would NOT require a 2.2X increase in die size... which would be extremelly expensive to make and would get terrible yields... wel maybe ATI wants another peper launch, like any of their cards with more than 12 pipes 585461535[/snapback] Actually, double the transitors is feasible if they doubled the pipelines and added FP32, among other things.

Cybermarine Posted February 14, 2005 Share Posted February 14, 2005 Theyre providing the CPU. ATI providing the GPU. 585461477[/snapback] Correction, Intel is providing the CPU for the Xbox 2. IBM, Toshiba and Sony will be making providing the CPU for Playstation 3, So thats a hard one to beat :) :cool: . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will they be Intel, as in Xbox 1? No, IBM. Will they be 32 or 64 bit? 64 bit. Do you have any more information about the processor? They will be PowerPC 976 chips, based on IBM's Power 5 architecture at 65nm. Who is the graphics card maker? ATI What graphics card will it be? ATI R500, which is more powerful R400. http://www.activewin.com/faq/xbox2.shtml You can dig more sources on IBM providing the CPU for Xbox2.

DirtyLarry Veteran Posted February 15, 2005 Veteran Share Posted February 15, 2005 Lets consider this a "rumor" until we get a proper source. :shifty: 585461934[/snapback] You go ahead and consider it a "rumor." Until there is a source, I personally will consider it a "pipe dream" (pun intented). Nothing less. Nothing more. Also in all seriousness, since when are rumors without a source considered credible Back Page news? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lsquare Posted February 15, 2005 Share Posted February 15, 2005 There are no links provided to backup the poster's post. He could have simply made it all up. Agreed with the individuals that say one should take it with a grain of salt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
