NV30 is said to be 30% faster than Radeon 9700!

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
