Today I posted a rather lengthy front page article detailing quite a bit of new information on the upcoming graphics releases from both AMD and NVIDIA. Some you have seen before, but there are a few new tidbits not reported anywhere else. Here is a quote:
The G92 is not a dumb shrink, as it adds some other goodies to the mix. It goes with the G84/86 texture address/filtering setup rather than the older G80. It also features PureVideo 2. The chip pulls less power than its larger and older brethren, but initial plans for this part have likely changed due to AMD’s upcoming RV670 based boards. From all indications it seems like NVIDIA was going to place this between the 8600 GTS and the 8800 GTS, and likely eliminate the 320 MB version of the 8800 GTS. Cooling was originally not an issue, as NVIDIA did not look to clock it above 550 MHz. Now that word has leaked out on how potent the RV670 is, I think NVIDIA is working overtime to get the performance of these parts up.
