NVidia NV30 Bits
So a little while ago we had a
story about how the next-gen NVidia cards (The NV30) will probably hit the holiday
season, but not really be out in full force until Q1 of next year. Well this website (Thanks aggressor) has a few pictures
of a recent "NVidia Mania Day" held by NVidia folks for the press to talk about
their upcoming part. Perhaps a few of you speak Korean, but for the rest of us we're stuck
checking out the pictures. Here are a few things that stand out from NVidia's
presentation:
- More than 2X performance of GeForce4
- Better anti-aliasing
- Full floating point throughout pipeline (51,000,000,000 operations)
- 3X the size of a P4 processor
I dont really think I plan on doing my next videocard purchase until DOOM3 / Half-Life2 / Duke4 / etc. show up. Yeah, I dunno why I listed Duke4 either... :). update: Speaking of this stuff, Anandtech has some interesting stuff on NVidia's 8X AGP card. Thanks -Panther-.
