GDDR4 gives less power consumption then GDDR3. But GDDR3 is probably more cheaper then GDDR4. (Since NV needs to use 12 mem chips instead of 8, so cost will go up overall).
I dont understand the part where they say core clock or 575mhz, but its 128 shaders are clocked at 1350mhz? Anyone know what its trying to say?
Looks like the whole scalable up to 1.5ghz is true, but whats different from core clock speed to shader clock speed? Arent the two the same or im missing something.
I specualated it would have 128 shaders, 48 of them dedicated to PS while the other 96 is unified GS/VS. But do they mean its all unified among the 128 shaders?
Things are getting interesting!
note - the water cooling should be an option.
edit - otispunkmeyer, just like you i have no idea whats going on with the clock speed.
Furthermore, the G80 boards will be nine inches long and PSU reccomendation for the cards are 450W (GTX) 400W (GTS). For 8800GTX SLi, They reccomend a 800W PSU.
They promise a hard launch 2nd week of Nov, as the board partners are beginning to stock pile them for the launch.
This is great!
