NV38.......yes

[espidus]

I have had a chance to see the pre-release boards of the NV38 being benchmarked........over 300 fps on UT2003 @ 1024 x 786.........oh yes....

Did they have "Trilinear Filtering" enabled? I would have asked

prolly disabled

 

[Schadenfroh]

that the replacement for the 5600?

 

[Pete]

A 50% increase in one half-gen? Color me skeptical.

Schaden, you're thinking of the NV36.

 

[modedepe]

Yeah I'm kind of doubting it. But hey, if it can do 300 fps then great. I'd love to see nvidia actually put some heat on ati.

want my athlon that operates at 66C idle?

 

[Pete]

I'll trade you a hot Palomino XP 1700+ for a chilly Tbred one, vc.

 

[SickBeast]

yeah well i just read over at rage3d that the r400 series is going to have over 300 million transistors. that's almost triple that of the 9700/9800. mmm...transistors...

seeing as it will be a 0.13 micron part, it shouldn't be too long before it's released. my guess is that once nvidia releases something competetive ati will release it.

 

[Eagle17]

nice I am glad to see a first post is a boast... I wouldn't put a lot of stock in this story...

the nv38 will be reviewed soon enough and then we will see.

 

[nRollo]

the nv38 will be reviewed soon enough and then we will see.

Following nVidia's current popular pricing scheme, the nV38 will debut at $700.. You're willing to pay that for a card that disables trilinear aren't you?

 

[Corporate Thug]

anyone wanna guess when we'll see a review?

 

[Pete]

Probably before we see a 5200 review from Anandtech. ;P

lol! I think we've had a enough graphics card reviews in the community already. I wouldnt mind AnAnd review the new Abit MAX3

 

[espidus]

i saw the benches at my job.........and i personally made some of the demo machines that are going to be used at quakecon and valve software

 

[Pete]

So talk to us about HL2 scores!

Beats me, but I'll bet that I need to wait another month after that before I can pick one up on newegg!

Looks at AnAnd.... YES! Give me the benchmarks! Be sure to put some older cards like a 4200.

 

[touchmyichi]

Cards rarely live up to their boasting.... Probably the only one that recently did was the 9700 pro.

 

[Uclagamer_99]

is it gonna come with a hair dryer like the 5800?
