Official Nvidia 9800 GTX Specs!!!

1. By Q4 2007 (Xmas) NVIDIA will be releasing their GeForce 9800 series GPUs.
Unlike previously expected the codename for nVidia's next generation GPU will NOT be "G90" but instead be "G92".

I have some info form NVIDIA insider about the upcoming G92 graphics processors.

G92 will be released in November 2007 timeframe in the form of "GeForce 9800" series.

"G92" GeForce 9800 GTX specs.

- 65nm process technology at TSMC.
- Over one billion transistors.
- Second Generation Unified Shader Architecture.
- Double precsion support (FP64).
- GPGPU native.
- Over one TeraFLOPS of shader processing power.
- MADD+ADD configuration for the shader untis (2+1 FLOPS=3 FLOPS per ALU)
- Fully Scalar design.
- 512-bit memory interface.
- 1024MB GDDR4 graphics memory.
- DirectX 10.1 support.
- OpenGL 3.0 Support.
- eDRAM die for "FREE 4xAA".
- built in Audio Chip.
- built in tesselation unit (in the graphics core"
- Improved AA and AF quality levels

Pros.

65nm process will allow for better yields and better power consumption. power consumption will be lower than that of a GeForce 8800 GTX.

GeForce 9800 GTX will be over two times faster than a GeForce 8800 Ultra in real world games and applcations.

Release date : November 2007. There will be TWO products at launch: The flagship GeForce 9800 GTX and the second fastest GeForce 9800 GTS.

price for the GeForce 9800 GTX will be 549-649 USD.

price for the GeForce 9800 GTS will be 399-449 USD.

Start Saving because you'll need a New Mobo with PCI-e 2.0 for it to work.

This isnt official.. its not even a proper article!

Its just a post in a forum.. I could make this up my self and random people would believe what I say.. at least wait for some kind of official release before shouting "Official Specs!!1111"

Type it in google there are alot of specs on the card hes not off

I am sooo gona get this card. OMG. CANT WAIT. Gona sell my 8800 GTX and go for this beauty. Hope it wont cost over 800$. Till i hopefullly get this beauty no Vista or DX10 for me. Hell G80 doesnt even have AA through shaders and tesselation unit. Cant wait. You sure they are aiming for Xmas??

EDIT: Are you sure going to need new mobo whit PCI-E 2.0 support. I heard that PCI-E 2.0 cards will work on usual PCI-E slots too. And do you think thatifigetthiscardC2D will be bottleneck???

Yeah.. a google search just gives me a load more forum posts.. not a single remotely official looking article that directly relates to this.

Maybe these facts are right, but on the other hand you shouldnt just go believing everything you see on the internet...

I believe PCI-E 2.0 will be backwards compatible...

In reality, most CPUs will bottleneck powerful GPUs, such as an 8800GTX. This is because GPUs are incredibly powerful these days, producing way too much information for the processor to er.. process. Its OK though, because the bottleneck doesnt really have any negative effect - you can still max out any game on that rig right?

Yeah. I meant if i will be able to run PCI-E 2.0 card like G92 on PCI-E slot?? Not if PCI e 2.0 will be able to run 1st PCI-E.

Yeah. That probably means you will be able to put 4xAA on whitout loosing a performance. domke13

OMG, I just bought an 8800 GTX...and i'm expecting it today :lol:

O well. Right when I get it...to the post office!

PCI-E 2.0 most likely will be backward compatible much like the whole USB interface. USB 2.0 fits into USB 1.1 slots but the slots lower the 2.0 speed back to 1.1 speed. Therefore while the card will be extremely powerful (does "extremely" properly define it?) the original PCI-E 2 will just be slowed down by PCI-E 65nm = lower power consumption than 8800 GTX, now I regret buying a 600 watt PSU. Oh well more power = better safe than sorry.killerbasa

I heard that PCI-E 2.0 isnt much about more performance but about saving some power. ThatIMO means that ifyou will run 9800 GTX on 1.0 slot you will have to have more power to feed 9800GTX. Nothing about performance.

I dunno but standard PCI-E wont bottleneck the card.

I have just **** my pants. :DMaster_Kev

:lol: but you arent the only one :D

how is this going to wor with procesors like E6600? i mean is there going to be a big bottleneck?FIghterFX

Like I said earlier.. most recent GPUs are bottlenecked by the processor but it is not important - enough information is still being processed for the game to run smoothly.

It would have to be an extremely powerful CPU to allow absolutely no bottlenecking in a card such as an 8800GTS, let alone the 9800GTX, (if these specs are true, which I doubt!).

Built in audio chip?? WTF??? :oben2000

There'd have to be something to generate audio data in order to fully be able to take advantage of the benefit HDMI has over DVI.

I thought that G92 was 256-bit and slightly behind the 8800GTS 320MB?

Oh well...

PCI-E 2.0? You've got to be ****ing ****ting me.

I bought a 6800GT AGP about two weeks before PCI-E came out.

I just bought an 8800 GTX about a month ago and again it looks like I'm going to have to upgrade my whole system to upgrade my videocard when it comes time again.

That pisses me off so much....

Does the 9800gtx supports quad SLI? xDwklzip

Sorry big bottleneck... dreams shattered. :twisted:

The Bloomfield will be clocked @ 4-5 ghz :p

Well is there any info on the gts? Master_Kev

I assume the 9800gts will be better than 8800ultras in sli.

good thing i didnt buy a 8800GTX. I took someones advice of ," Buy one generation, skip the next." I have a 7600GT, skip the 8xxx line, jump into 9xxx Line Edit: By the time that comes out, The Quad core prices should go down a bit, than will be a good time for a big upgrade.JumpingMirrior

It actually doesn't seem that expensive considering the current prices of the cards.Koinuboy

I was going to build a new PC in the coming month but I think I can hold a little longer until the 9800s come out but we'll seecause I so want to build a new one right now.
