Nv30

[KingJackal]

There are rumors ( and interviews etc ) saying it's going to weigh in at an astounding <DREVIL>120 million Transistors!</DREVIL>

...compared to current ( or even Parhelia/R300 ) standards, that's insane. So I assume it WILL be 0.13 micron after all :eek: :confused:

Still, we have to bear in mind that this chip won't be retailing in even the same time-frame as the R300, which'll be selling for months before this card appears. ( These guys (http://www.theinquirer.net/05060205.htm) think so, anyway ;) )

...and as for the rumours of NVBlur, aka Glide II - well.....
*drools*
:p :cool:

Woah ... thats all I can say.

Doesn't that come close or even outnumber some processor transitor counts?

just remember the r300 is comparing with the gf4ti range

like the radeon 8500 was made to match the gf3 range right
now the r300 is made to match the gf4ti range

anyways thats from wat ive heard :D

[AcurA]

always something bigger and better ain't it... i hope my GF4 serves me for a good 12 month! *figures cross* Or i could let the techs @ oem blow it up (like my radeon)... bah nevermind

Hahaha. Bro - you do know that even the ORIGINAL GeForce has more transistors than the ATHLON THUNDERBIRD??

READ THE LINK I GAVE, D@MNIT. THEN YOU'D KNOW! :mad:

:p

So, it looks like in a few months we'll get the big ATi/Matrox battle. I wonder when 3DLab's big push is? Do you reckon they'll be launching at a similar time to nVIDIA? :eek:

[Mashed_Penguin]

They would be silly not to, once nividia gets momentum going on a release it becomes much harder for anyone to compete with them in that particular generation of cards and in the market in general.
