The Inquirer has posted this sizzling hot news.

"Details emerge of 48GB effective memory bandwidth".

"The NV30 chip will feature eight pipelines and two TMUs – that's one more than ATI – and this will give it quite a boost since it will be able to render 16 textures per pass."

"As for performance, the Nvidia NV30 card will be about 30 per cent faster than Radeon 9700 PRO in FSAA, Anisotropic filtering is set for maximum settings."

OMG that have made a friggin monster man! I am soooo excited to see this baby in action.... it is gonna be one sick machine and if they are ont he shelves at christmas I know what I will be getting heheheh!

You will have to find something to get from Santa for Christmas, the NV30 won't be ready.

Absolute bullshit, theoretically it just doesn't compute.

128bit interface with DDR 2 = NV30 = 23gb of bandwidth
256mb interface with DDR 2 = Next Radeon 9700 = 29 gb of bandwidth.

This just doesn't computer.

Yeah math does not lie! But we will have to see :)

The NV30 chip will feature eight pipelines and two TMUs – that's one more than ATI – and this will give it quite a boost since it will be able to render 16 textures per pass.

We can also confirm that with 1.0 GHz data rate plus Lightspeed Memory Architecture 3, a card will be able to reach an amazng 48 GB/s, double what the Radeon 9700 PRO can do with its DDR 256 bit memory. Remember Nvidia will use 128 bit memory this time and will save its breath for 256 bit DDR II for future designs.

who knows

lets just wait and see
i dont think we should make any preassumptions yet as the details of NV30 is still vague

grab some new intel 10GHz technology
or whateva...
