First REAL GAME benchmarks for new NVIDIA 8800GTX leaked?

jmke · 3rd November 2006, 15:28

NVIDIA is set to launch its upcoming G80 GeForce 8800GTX and 8800GTS graphics cards next week, however, DailyTech has managed to obtain a GeForce 8800GTX board to run a couple quick benchmarks on. The GeForce 8800GTX used for testing is equipped with 768MB of GDDR3 video memory on a 384-bit memory bus as previously reported. Core and memory clocks are set at 575 MHz and 900 MHz respectively. Other GeForce 8800 series features include 128-bit HDR with 16x anti-aliasing and NVIDIA’s Quantum Physics Engine.

and do notice the 2x PCIe connectors

tell me how games will be GPU limited when you can't get more than 70 FPS in Quake 4 at only 1600x1200 4xAA? They want us to believe that your system will be CPU limited... at that setting? doesn't seem that way from these benchmark results.

you mean the bridges for SLI?

No, he means it needs 2 additional power connectors.

looks like a munchie performance upgrade

the dual SLI bridge is to allow data traffic to go both ways, like with CF

piotke · 3rd November 2006, 22:31

sure of that ? I think it's rather for quad SLI so that you can choose where to what bridge.

yes I'm quite sure

Another thing that we learned is that Nvidia uses a new SLI. We saw it here originally spotted at nvnews.net. The new SLI is dual rail stuff. It is ironic that ATI was the first to introduce such a connector that will let you have read and writes performed at the same time.

For being a game that is CPU dependant more than not, HL2's numbers are interesting.
