New NV GPU soon...ish?

[MUYA]

Well I got some info from a source... NV48s maybe here soon-ish.

Rumours are, 6 quad (24 pixel processing pipelines).
Extra helper shading units for each pxel processing pipeline?
More ROPs
New Video Proccessor (expected)
and..perhaps the most speculative and interesting point....new memroy interface....maybe XDR?

take it with a pinch of salt. ;)

[retsam]

uhhhhh ohhhhhh this is were i get into the sli action..... your source didnt mention anthing about sli support did they?? man i am soooo hoping for sli support. mmmm 6 quad nv48 goodness hmmmm

[MUYA]

lol me too :drool: at SLI'ing two 6 quad GPU cards

[retsam]

i just hope they tame the power comsumtion this time around...what are we gonna have like 6 molex connectors on a card....

[MUYA]

i think it will be a new process, I dunno if that will help them with the power consumption / heat dissipation or not.

[retsam]

im think of getting this board with the nv48-sli



:eek: http://www.tyan.com/products/assets/images/s2895.gif :eek:

it has dual 16x sli.. this monster is making me drool... :D

oh ya its the tyan thunder K8WE (S2895)

[MUYA]

Why not nForce4 2200 Pro chipset powered motherboard? ;)

Edit: yeah I am blind...I thought the chipset on that mobo was em..AMD and not nv ones! :p

[retsam]

Expansion Slots (total of six usable slots)
• Two x16 PCI Express FULL SPEED slots
- Slot1 PCI-E x16 from nForce™ Prof. 2200
- Slot3 PCI-E x16 from nForce™ Prof. 2050
• Two independent 64-bit PCI-X buses
- Slot 4 & 5: PCI-X 100 MHz max. (Bridge B)
- Slot 6: PCI-X 133 MHz max. (Bridge A)
• One 32-bit 33MHz PCI v2.3 (Slot 2)


its both 2200 and 2050 at the same time heheheh this board makes my mouth water .... :afraid:

[MUYA]

heheheh I know what you mean, it's Computer pr0n!!!!

[Graphicmaniac]

8 slots for the ram? wow, is the EQ2 motherboard then :P

[retsam]

muya, so i guess if your source is right the nv48 taped out already ?? and also did you see my post on ps3 working and shown in march ... if that is true then the nv50 dirivative taped out also .... wow nvidia is really busy with the tape outs

[MUYA]

well he is talking as if it's there ..I mean taped out. I cannot be 100%..it might be hogwash since no others (websites or forums) have mentioned this before but, this source was right with nv4x and r4xx :)

[MUYA]

and oh..ret, no idea bud of the pS3 GPU but one would assume so with a playable model at whenever :) E3?

[retsam]

very cool very cool, now i just have to wait a little longer to buy the nv48's

[oldsk00l]

yup spring refresh, I'm just glad nVidia's financials look good.

Hmm...no DDR2 ram though.

Dual cpu, dual video cards... whats next, dual psu connectors?
It uses registered memory? Euuuu

[Vagrant Zero]

Well I got some info from a source... NV48s maybe here soon-ish.

More ROPs


What's ROP?

[Razor1]

stands for Render Outputs, this is where all the the tasks on the pixels takes place, color compression, blending, etc.

More ROPs will increase performance by the ability to render more pixels at ones or do more operations at once. It varies depending on which operations are being done, I think if I remember correctly, each ROP can do 1/2 pixel blend, 1 full z pixel

happy happy joy joy! patience = paid off. hey muya, did this source say when or did he just say soonish? like maybe which month?

well with the ps3 deal, there financials are gonna look awsome from this point out

Maybe March 10-16 ? I dunno bud

This (that Tyan mobo) is meant for the server (not consumer) market.

PERFECT timing.
