[QUOTE="xXDamienXx"]Lord, you said that we didn't see any mobile x1900's, but mobile 7900's were made for laptops so it is possible. I guess ATI is slacking on the mobile aspect. I mean how long did it take nvidia to make the mobile 7900 after introducing the desktop one? I see that dual 7900's are possible in a laptop and I would imagine that would generate a lot of heat, so what would be so difficult about making a stripped down 8800 into like I dunno 8400...lol? Is ddr4 required for G80? Again all I care about is the dx10 support.LordEC911
Well if you noticed I didn't say that ATi was lacking in the mobile area, because they are not, they just couldn't effectively cut the heat of their x1900.
The 7900 runs much cooler than any x1900, which is still true today.
Mobile 7900's are slightly cutdown desktop cards, technically, which makes them even cooler, I guess cool enough to go SLI.
If ATi didn't make a mobile x1900, I highly doubt nvidia has the capability to do it, unless like I said before, they drastically modify and slow down the card.
DDR4 is not required for the G80, that is why you see DD3 on it atm.
But DDR4 will cut down the power consumption, which means less heat.
Oh I see, but could they make a mobile g80 with the same specs as a 7900, but with just dx10? Or would there be no point?
