Latest NVidia NV20 Specs
by Steve Gibson, Oct 23, 2000 7:51pm PDTWell these NV20 specs have been floating around a few places and it seems the majority of people 'in the know' agree that these are the closest specs to being accurate we'll probably get before NVidia released their next-gen card. Here you go: (Thanks IXBT and HardOCP)
- Core: 300MHz; - Memory: 200MHz DDR SDRAM; - 256bit memory bus; - 12.8GB/sec memory bus bandwidth; - Fillrate 1.8Gpixel/sec (5.4Gtexel/sec); - 6 rendering pipelines with 3 texturing units each; - 0.15 micron manufacturing technology. - Estimated ~$800 retail, first showing at COMDEX 2000. (Fall)note: The $800 figure seems pretty wacky to me. We'll see soon enough though so I wouldnt sweat that figure a whole lot. update Jack - I really doubt those megatexels numbers. They are probably just multiplying megapixels by the number of texture units, but it's an inaccurate number for all nVidia architectures to date. In fact, that's why we invented the term megatexels when I was at 3dfx - because we had hardware (Voodoo2) that left a texture unit unused in single texture. nVidia doesn't do that :)

Let's have a poll. How much will you pay for a NV20?
Cause if us lot won't buy it you can guarentee that the 'normal' people out there won't buy it.
New Video Card Sir? Yes, please how much? $800? I'll have 2.....
I will NOT pay over what I paid for my GeForce2 GTS so many months ago: $300.
Any more than that can just kiss my fucking ass, you greedy bastards.

So I seriously doubt that they're going to have NV20 for 800 dollars, considering the RAM on there is nowhere near as exotic as what's on GeForce Ultra.
Even if it does have a 256 bit wide data path. The point of that is to REDUCE the price of the card, not increase it.

$800 is a nice price for a video card...

Mark my words the first nv20 boards (64 megs) will msrp for $499 and go for about $425 or so. Of course the beauty of nvidia based boards is that you have fierce competition in between the ihvs so that within 4-6 weeks you'll be seeing creatives $350 nv20 board.

ULTRA edition 499$ retail BARELY released yet .... 475$ I can beleive as I found - lower than 450$, I doubt it.
therefore as I said - Geforce 3, same amount of ram -600$ - 800$ is too much
Is that a rumour?
Nvidia are scum if they charge this, total scum - and just like intel.
(assuming it's true)
As for the specs, it's got 400mhz ram, what good is that? the GF2 Ultra has faster ram, I bet this is MAJORLY fillrate limited again.
This thing would be worth 800$ US if it did 1600x1200x32bitx4xFSAA at 150FPS (with bump mapping)

I've seen no official word from nVidia saying that the card would be 800 dollars.
Everyone, just chill a second and wait until an official quote, if it's still that high, you can moan and cry.
